Chapter 2 - The Door That Should Never Open

Page 1 – The Abandoned Hostel

Rohan and his four friends loved exploring abandoned places. One weekend they decided to visit an old hostel outside the city.

The building had been empty for almost 30 years.

People said the hostel was closed after several students mysteriously disappeared in one night.

But Rohan laughed at the rumors.

"Ghost stories are just made up," he said.

The group entered the building with flashlights.

Dust covered everything. Broken beds, old books, and torn curtains were everywhere.

But at the end of a long corridor…

they saw something strange.

A single door.

Unlike everything else in the hostel, the door looked new.

And on the door someone had written in red paint:

"DO NOT OPEN."

Page 2 – The Whisper

Rohan walked closer.

"Someone must be joking," he said.

His friend Arif suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Bro… did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

They all became silent.

Then they heard it.

A soft whisper coming from the other side of the door.

"…help me…"

Rohan's friends wanted to leave.

But curiosity was stronger.

Rohan slowly touched the door handle.

The whisper suddenly changed.

Now it said:

"Please… open the door…"

Page 3 – Something Inside

The door creaked open.

Inside was a small dark room.

No furniture. No windows.

Only deep scratch marks covering the walls.

And something written over and over again:

"DON'T LET IT OUT."

Suddenly the door behind them slammed shut.

The room became freezing cold.

Then they heard breathing.

Not human breathing.

Something heavy and slow.

And it wasn't coming from outside.

It was coming from the corner of the room.

Page 4 – The Shape in the Dark

Their flashlights pointed to the corner.

At first they saw nothing.

Then the darkness moved.

A tall shadow slowly stood up.

It looked like a human… but its arms were far too long.

Its head twisted sideways with a loud crack.

And its eyes opened.

Completely black.

It smiled.

A wide, impossible smile.

Page 5 – The First Death

Arif screamed and ran toward the door.

He tried to open it.

But the door wouldn't move.

Behind him the creature suddenly moved.

In a single second it was standing right behind Arif.

Rohan blinked.

And Arif was gone.

Only his flashlight rolled across the floor.

The creature slowly turned its head toward the others.

And whispered in Arif's voice:

"Help me…"

Page 6 – The Hallway

The door suddenly burst open.

Rohan and the others ran into the hallway.

But something was wrong.

The hallway looked longer than before.

Much longer.

Their flashlights couldn't reach the end anymore.

And behind them…

They heard footsteps.

Not running.

Walking slowly.

Following them.

Page 7 – The Truth

They found an old office room and locked themselves inside.

On a dusty desk there was a newspaper.

Rohan read the headline.

"Hostel Closed After Ritual Goes Wrong."

The article said that a group of students tried to open a door that was meant to keep something trapped.

Something not human.

But they failed.

Instead of destroying it…

They set it free.

And every person who opened that door afterward… disappeared.

Page 8 – The Imitation

Suddenly someone knocked on the door.

Three slow knocks.

"Rohan… open the door… it's me… Arif…"

Everyone froze.

Arif was dead.

They had seen it.

The knocking continued.

"Please… let me in…"

But the voice slowly changed.

Deeper.

Broken.

Then they heard scratching on the door.

Like long claws dragging across wood.

Page 9 – The Last Survivor

One by one the lights went out.

Screams echoed in the darkness.

When the sun finally rose the next morning…

The police arrived.

They found the hostel empty.

Only one person was sitting quietly in the hallway.

Rohan.

He looked calm.

Too calm.

Page 10 – The Final Horror

The police officer asked him,

"What happened here?"

Rohan slowly looked up.

His smile was too wide.

His eyes were completely black.

And he whispered:

"They opened the door…"

Then the officer noticed something horrifying.

Behind Rohan…

There was no shadow.

Because the real Rohan was still inside that room.

And whatever walked out with his face…

Was still hungry. 👁️👻
