Horror Stories - We Are Back to Back, Heart to Heart
Joshua checked into the hotel and was quite happy that the day had ended early for him. Away and alone on an important business trip, he had wanted some time for himself to explore the city but the thoughts of getting up early the following day made his postponed his plans.
After a hot shower, he continued to use his laptop to liaise with his counterpart back at HQ and also to update his family on his well being. Unknowingly, it was past midnight and he wanted to retire for the night. He crept into the comfort of the bed quilt and slowly drifted into sleep.
The next morning, John woke up as usual and prepared himself for the day. However, he kept remembering a strange occurrence that happened last night while he was in his dreams. The dream took him back to the exact setting of his hotel room, and at the dressing table, was a lady sobbing softly, she drew his attention. He cautioned towards the lady and she slowly lifted her head. John stopped at his track.
He could see that the lady was trying to speak to him. Her lips were moving but he could not hear anything. After which, the dream ended. This strange memory lingered in his head for the entire day. At the end of the second day, John had already forgotten about the incident. He was more than happy to be able to return home soon. He decided to rest early for that night.
As soon as he fell into deep sleep, he could make out of what he thought was foot steps walking across the hotel carpet in his room and it stopped just at his bed side. He decided to ignore it as he thought that he was too tired and that he had been imagining things. It was then he heard mumbling at his ear. The female voice was soft and he could not understand what she was trying to tell him. It continued and the mumbling became louder and louder, until John could fully understand what he had heard.
"We are back to back, heart to heart."
In a single jolt, he sprung awake and jumped right out of the bed, his eyes scanned the room but there was no lady. He then did the unimaginable, he lifted his hotel mattress. His eyes nearly popped out of its sockets. He could not apprehend what he saw. Right underneath his bed, was a corpse which appeared to be bound at hands and feets and the mouth was apparently gagged. However, the corpse was faced down, meaning the back of the corpse was against the mattress. It was then John realised what did the words "We are back to back, heart to heart." really means.
