The Touch 6

She went back to her room and slammed the door. Layed back on the bed and turned on the tv. On the news was coverage from the accident. A young couple celebrating their one year anniversary, were on there way to the hotel that they spent their honeymoon in. They died at the scene of the accident.

When they showed a picture of the late couple she quickly turned off the tv.

“Thats just too creepy”, she said to herself.

She tryed to sleep but everytime she closed her eyes she saw the picture of that couple. So she sat up. A chill ran over her body. How would she ever survive a night in this hotel. She turned and looked at the clock. It was 12:30a.m. She decided to go talk to the clerk. Maybe if she could keep her mind occupied for few hours, sooner or later the roads will clear and she could leave.

When she reached the reception area, the man was haunched over the counter reading a book.

“Excuse me. Sorry to bother you again, but I cant sleep”, she said.
