It was only a room at the time. There was nothing about it that Peter found
out of place.
Eerie.
Wrong.
It was only a room in a motel in a city he never planned on coming
back to. A fleeting memory, if one at all. But Peter Greenwell had the
unfortunate honor of being the first.
When the phone rang, Peter was in the shower. He stood beneath the
hot water, hoping it would calm his quick heartbeat. He had been waiting
for this call.
Dreading it.
Either way, it was inevitable, and so he shut off the water and readied
himself to face what he could no longer avoid. But as his foot found the
cold tile and his hand reached for the towel with Wildwood Motel
embroidered near the edge, Peter slipped. He scrambled for a moment,
trying to find something to grab on to. But the towel slid away from the
hook, and his other hand grasped only air. It all happened quicker than he
thought it would. There was no time to reflect or slow down. No time for
one uneventful life to flash through Peter Greenwell’s mind.
His head made contact with the porcelain sink and he sank to the floor,
the blood and water like tendrils delicately painting the life that seeped out
of him. It was 1978, only two years after the motel had first opened its
dozen rooms.
Twelve years later, Lola Moreno was next. She was only looking for
some quiet, a day or two away, when she realized too late that she might be
able to escape her life but not her mind. Next came Eugene McDaniel, nine
years after that, a retired teacher on his way to visit two grandchildren who
had all but forgotten him, and on and on it went. All the way to a Noah
Davis, only four months prior, who knew of every death that had come
before and the part he had played in many of them.
Room 9’s history was dark and rotten and had a way of sinking into its
guests. Their deaths within it were unfortunate in the same way. They all
came too close to the flame, and when that happens, the fire takes care of
the rest.
Tonight is no different.

We were supposed to drive straight to Chicago, but it was pouring, the
windshield an indecipherable picture of the road ahead. The rain had started
ten minutes ago in one of those torrential downpours that appear out of
nowhere. Mira slowed down, her shoulders scrunched over the steering
wheel as she tried to make sense of where the lane was. It didn’t help that
we had taken the wrong exit a while back and my phone was refusing to
cooperate. Five bars, my ass. The map app refused to load no matter how
many times I restarted it.
