“The Girl in Apartment 313”

 


Introduction: Some Tenants Never Move Out

In every building, there’s that one apartment no one wants.
The one with the flickering lights…
The one where no tenant lasts more than a week.
And sometimes, the apartment doesn’t just want silence—
It wants company.


The New Tenant

Usman had just moved to the city for work.
Cheap rent. Decent location.
He didn’t care about the stories.
Apartment 313 was just a number to him.

But to the building…
It was a mouth that hadn’t been fed in years.


The Eyes in the Peephole

On his second night, someone knocked at 3:13 AM.
Slow. Hollow.

He peeked through the peephole — no one.

But when he turned around, his phone showed a notification:
“Face detected at your door.”
And a blurry image — of a little girl smiling.

He lived alone.


The Neighbors Whisper

He asked the building manager about 313.
The old man just said:

“No child lives here. Not anymore.”
“That apartment eats people, beta. It started with her.”

Usman didn’t believe it.
Until the footsteps started.
Tiny ones. Inside the walls.


She Appears

Next night, 3:13 AM.

Usman awoke to the sound of his closet door creaking open.

There she stood.
A little girl. Pale. Hair dripping wet. Feet leaving muddy prints.

She whispered:

“I want to play.”

He screamed.

She smiled and pointed to the wall.

“I made space for you.”


Gone

Usman was never seen again.

When police arrived, Apartment 313 was locked from the inside.

Inside the wall, beneath the closet floor — they found tiny fingerprints.
And a child’s drawing of two figures holding hands:

One small… one tall…
Both smiling.


Final Warning

Some rooms aren't haunted.
They’re hungry.
And they’re patient.

So if you ever hear a knock at 3:13 AM…
Don’t open the door.
Don’t answer the voice.
And whatever you do…

Don’t say “I’ll play.”
