- 0:04Speaker 1: I recently moved out. My parents stayed in California. I
- 0:08Speaker 1: finished high school there and took a job in la
- 0:11Speaker 1: I had a senior here who helped me find a
- 0:13Speaker 1: small apartment perfect for myself. I've been self dependent from
- 0:17Speaker 1: a very young age, so moving out wasn't that scary
- 0:20Speaker 1: for me. The apartment was already furnished enough. The only
- 0:24Speaker 1: thing I needed was a new mattress. One of my
- 0:27Speaker 1: colleagues at work told me there's a local Ikea store
- 0:29Speaker 1: two blocks away from our workplace, so one evening I
- 0:33Speaker 1: decided to head there after work. It was a warm
- 0:36Speaker 1: summer night, and even though I wanted to leave early,
- 0:39Speaker 1: I couldn't. At around eight thirty, I finally reached the
- 0:42Speaker 1: Ikea store. A vast range of different types of furniture
- 0:46Speaker 1: stood all around me. The store closes at nine, so
- 0:49Speaker 1: I hurried to the bedding section. I was looking for
- 0:51Speaker 1: a comfy sleeping mattress. There was one guy at the
- 0:55Speaker 1: sales counter, located near the entrance. The store was mostly empty.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Stood near the mattress collection and started to go through
- 1:02Speaker 1: the price tags looking for affordable prices. I looked all around,
- 1:06Speaker 1: expecting a sales guy to help me out, but I
- 1:08Speaker 1: didn't see anyone. I don't know how long I was
- 1:11Speaker 1: checking out the mattresses. My concentration broke hearing a voice
- 1:15Speaker 1: behind me. Are you looking for anything particular, ma'am? I
- 1:19Speaker 1: turned back immediately and saw an average height, bony dude
- 1:22Speaker 1: standing behind me, wearing an employee uniform. His eyes were creepy.
- 1:27Speaker 1: It wasn't just wide, but the eyeballs were almost bulging
- 1:31Speaker 1: out of their eye sockets. I replied, awkwardly, I would
- 1:35Speaker 1: like this one. He smiled creepily and said, we do
- 1:40Speaker 1: have some more collections at the back, and those will
- 1:43Speaker 1: come at a good discount too. If you want, I
- 1:46Speaker 1: can show you. I thought it won't harm to check
- 1:49Speaker 1: some more options out, so I said, sure, show me.
- 1:54Speaker 1: The man started to walk towards the end of the
- 1:56Speaker 1: store and I followed him there. As soon as we
- 1:58Speaker 1: reached the left corner of the st I realized maybe
- 2:01Speaker 1: this was a bad idea. This particular area was quite
- 2:05Speaker 1: far away from the entrance and dark too. I could
- 2:09Speaker 1: see wrapped furniture scattered all over the place. The man
- 2:13Speaker 1: pointed out to a pile of mattresses put up against
- 2:15Speaker 1: the wall and said, why don't you check those, hope
- 2:19Speaker 1: you find what you're looking for, and smiled even bigger
- 2:22Speaker 1: this time. I nervously walked towards the pile and started
- 2:26Speaker 1: to go through the price tags. I could tell from
- 2:28Speaker 1: my peripheral vision that the man kept watching my every
- 2:32Speaker 1: single move like a creep. I turned back at him
- 2:35Speaker 1: and said, I think I'm going to go for the
- 2:38Speaker 1: first one. The man was standing right in front of
- 2:41Speaker 1: the way leading to the entrance. My heartbeat got faster
- 2:45Speaker 1: because I knew he was blocking my way and there
- 2:48Speaker 1: were no security cameras nearby. The man replied, there are
- 2:52Speaker 1: some more in the basement too. If you come with me,
- 2:56Speaker 1: I can get you a good deal. That moment, I
- 2:58Speaker 1: decided a man up and confront him for his creepy behavior.
- 3:02Speaker 1: I said, no, thanks, I made up my mind. Let's
- 3:06Speaker 1: go to the first section, shall we. Suddenly the man
- 3:10Speaker 1: covered his face with his hands and started to sob
- 3:13Speaker 1: like a child. I definitely wasn't expecting this to happen.
- 3:21Speaker 1: I said, what happened? He looked at me and I
- 3:26Speaker 1: saw his tearful, wide eyes. There was a pain in
- 3:29Speaker 1: his face. Yet I couldn't help but feel awkward with
- 3:32Speaker 1: his behavior. The man said, please please stop me. I
- 3:39Speaker 1: replied stop from what are you all right? He looked
- 3:44Speaker 1: at his hands mysteriously, and then looked at me again. Listen,
- 3:49Speaker 1: if you're feeling sick, we can call for the paramedics.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Let me ask the man in the counter. I started
- 3:55Speaker 1: to walk past him to reach out for help, just
- 3:57Speaker 1: when he grabbed my hand tightly and said, you have
- 4:00Speaker 1: to stop me before I kill again. I don't want
- 4:03Speaker 1: to do this anymore. The ground beneath my feet started
- 4:07Speaker 1: to shiver. What what are you?
- 4:11Speaker 2: Oh my god?
- 4:12Speaker 1: I tried to ask for help, but before I could
- 4:15Speaker 1: do so, a huge punch hit my face, knocking me
- 4:19Speaker 1: out in a second. When I woke from my slumber,
- 4:23Speaker 1: I noticed myself tied to a chair. I slowly opened
- 4:26Speaker 1: my eyes and looked around. My left eye was throbbing
- 4:30Speaker 1: with pain. I realized that the psycho guy had abducted me.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Help me, somebody, please help me. I'm here, I screamed
- 4:39Speaker 1: as loud as I could. Suddenly, I heard a muffled,
- 4:43Speaker 1: gagging sound coming from behind me. I was tied tight,
- 4:47Speaker 1: so it was impossible to move a muscle. I realized
- 4:50Speaker 1: that there was someone with me in this room. I
- 4:53Speaker 1: pushed myself at the back and accidentally fell on the floor.
- 4:56Speaker 1: I hit my head, but what I saw terrified me
- 5:00Speaker 1: like hell. There was a man tied to another chair.
- 5:04Speaker 1: He was wearing a pair of jeans and had bruises
- 5:06Speaker 1: all over his face. Someone beat him up brutally. The
- 5:10Speaker 1: man said, in a painful, sobbing voice, he stole my uniform.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Call the cops, and then passed out. I heard footsteps
- 5:22Speaker 1: coming down the stairs. I realized we are in a
- 5:25Speaker 1: basement area. I screamed, is somebody here, please, please help us,
- 5:31Speaker 1: But then I heard the same sobbing sound.
- 5:34Speaker 2: I told you to stop me. Why didn't you?
- 5:39Speaker 1: The man wearing the Ikea uniform came in front of me.
- 5:42Speaker 1: I realized this guy is an impostor. He not only
- 5:46Speaker 1: abducted me, but also beat the shit out of an
- 5:49Speaker 1: actual salesman at the Ikea unit. You crazy psycho. Don't
- 5:54Speaker 1: think you're gonna get away with this. The cops will
- 5:56Speaker 1: find you and you will rot in jail. The man
- 6:00Speaker 1: and looked at me with an expressionless face and started
- 6:03Speaker 1: to laugh all of a sudden. Ah. Then he said,
- 6:10Speaker 1: it's not the first time that I'm doing this, you know.
- 6:13Speaker 1: I started to breathe heavily. I understood this guy as
- 6:17Speaker 1: a serial killer. He came closer to me and lifted
- 6:21Speaker 1: me from the floor. He then faced me towards the
- 6:23Speaker 1: poor guy and said, tell me, do.
- 6:27Speaker 2: You like gory movies?
- 6:29Speaker 1: And took out a gun from his pocket. He slowly
- 6:32Speaker 1: walked towards the unconscious man on the chair and stood
- 6:35Speaker 1: behind him, looking directly at me.
- 6:38Speaker 2: I started to.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Cry and terror why why are you doing this? Please
- 6:45Speaker 1: let us go.
- 6:46Speaker 2: What have we done?
- 6:47Speaker 1: The man screamed like crazy and said, be quiet. You
- 6:52Speaker 1: are interrupting me with your bullshit.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Now.
- 6:55Speaker 1: You won't realize how much fun it is until you
- 6:58Speaker 1: do it. He then lifted his hand and placed the
- 7:01Speaker 1: gun behind the man's head. The man got back to
- 7:04Speaker 1: his senses and said, in a.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Dizzy voice, what's happening? What is this?
- 7:12Speaker 1: I screamed at the top of my lungs, No, please don't,
- 7:17Speaker 1: And at that moment, a loud gunshot took place, almost
- 7:21Speaker 1: making my ears numbed. That psycho shot that poor salesman
- 7:26Speaker 1: from point blank range. His blood splattered on my face,
- 7:31Speaker 1: and I screamed one last time. My voice got choked
- 7:35Speaker 1: and I sat there silently sobbing. My entire life flashed
- 7:39Speaker 1: in front of my eyes while the psycho started to
- 7:42Speaker 1: walk towards me.
- 7:43Speaker 2: I knew my.
- 7:44Speaker 1: End was near and probably like his other victims, no
- 7:47Speaker 1: one will know about me and that poor ikey of salesman.
- 7:51Speaker 1: He then came close to me and whispered in my ear.
- 7:55Speaker 1: Don't suffer so much. I hate when they suffer like this.
- 8:00Speaker 1: It'll only take a second. Now close your eyes, doll.
- 8:04Speaker 1: I closed my eyes as tears rolled down my cheeks.
- 8:08Speaker 1: I could hear my breath as I waited for death.
- 8:12Speaker 1: The man placed the warm gun on my forehead, burning
- 8:15Speaker 1: my skin a bit, but I didn't feel that pain
- 8:18Speaker 1: any more. I heard the trigger being pulled back.
- 8:21Speaker 2: One more time.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Then the man said, for the last and final time,
- 8:27Speaker 1: ready or not, Here it comes. When I opened my eyes,
- 8:33Speaker 1: I saw cops running around me and the psycho lying
- 8:36Speaker 1: on the floor crossing blood. His eyes looked at me,
- 8:41Speaker 1: and then he never blinked. It's been five days since
- 8:46Speaker 1: I was released from the hospital. The man at the
- 8:49Speaker 1: counter was about to close the store when he realized
- 8:51Speaker 1: he saw a girl entering the unit, but never saw
- 8:54Speaker 1: leaving the place, so he decided to check the footage
- 8:58Speaker 1: just when he found me standing near the mattress area
- 9:01Speaker 1: talking to a guy and then following him to the
- 9:03Speaker 1: other side of the store. He recognized that the guy
- 9:07Speaker 1: is not their salesman. Moreover, he's an infamous serial killer
- 9:11Speaker 1: that the cops were looking for. He rushed there and
- 9:14Speaker 1: found the basement door locked. He called the cops immediately
- 9:17Speaker 1: and also hurt the first gun shot. I was lucky
- 9:21Speaker 1: enough that the cops reached me as soon as they
- 9:23Speaker 1: did and saved me from this devil before he shot me.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Just like the poor salesman, I might have to undergo therapy.
- 9:31Speaker 1: I'm now boarding a flight to San Francisco to stay
- 9:33Speaker 1: with my parents. I don't know when I'll be able
- 9:36Speaker 1: to move out again and live.
- 9:38Speaker 2: On my own.
- 9:44Speaker 1: I work in an Ikea store as a general manager.
- 9:47Speaker 1: I started as a salesman, but later got promoted for
- 9:50Speaker 1: my good reputation and hard work. There are all kinds
- 9:53Speaker 1: of buyers in this world. I've faced many weird as
- 9:56Speaker 1: well as temperamental customers, but my balancing nature always helped
- 10:01Speaker 1: in dealing with all kinds of individuals until I met
- 10:04Speaker 1: this one particular woman. Generally, our store hours run from
- 10:09Speaker 1: nine am to ten pm every day. I like my job,
- 10:13Speaker 1: so I have no complaints regarding the work pressure on weekends. Anyway,
- 10:17Speaker 1: it was a Thursday, probably around eight pm. I was
- 10:20Speaker 1: sitting near the counter and making a list of required
- 10:23Speaker 1: deliveries on the computer. There are currently two salesmen in
- 10:26Speaker 1: our shop, Sophie and Justin. Both of them were busy
- 10:29Speaker 1: demonstrating to a few customers. Just when the store door
- 10:33Speaker 1: opened and a woman entered, I looked and saw a petite,
- 10:37Speaker 1: average height woman standing near the entrance. She looked around
- 10:41Speaker 1: the entire store cluelessly, and then looked at me. Our
- 10:44Speaker 1: eyes met and she smiled at me. She then slowly
- 10:47Speaker 1: walked towards a pair of couches kept on her right side.
- 10:52Speaker 1: I got busy again at work. Even though I was
- 10:54Speaker 1: typing on the computer, I couldn't help but notice her
- 10:57Speaker 1: from time to time. First, she started those count for
- 11:00Speaker 1: a few seconds, and then touched one of its leather covers. Surprisingly,
- 11:04Speaker 1: she nodded her head and said no. The couches stood
- 11:09Speaker 1: at a close distance in the counter, so I could
- 11:11Speaker 1: hear her saying no quite perfectly. I thought she would
- 11:14Speaker 1: ponder more in the couch section, but she didn't. She
- 11:18Speaker 1: went straight to the bedding corners and started to check mattresses.
- 11:21Speaker 1: This time, after checking two to three options, she again
- 11:25Speaker 1: nodded her head and said no. Even though I couldn't
- 11:29Speaker 1: hear her this time, I guess the reaction from her
- 11:31Speaker 1: lip movement. She then walked to the cupboard corner and
- 11:35Speaker 1: started to look at them with deep concentration.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Well, I guess Ikea can get you all.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Confused when it comes to buying furniture, I murmured to myself.
- 11:45Speaker 1: I finally shrugged off her weird behavior and paid attention
- 11:48Speaker 1: to typing the list. Not everyone who comes into the
- 11:51Speaker 1: store is obligated to buy things, you know, so I
- 11:54Speaker 1: thought if she needs help, she'll ask on her own.
- 11:57Speaker 1: A few more minutes passed and I was just about
- 11:59Speaker 1: to mail the to the provider when my eyes went
- 12:02Speaker 1: on the dashboard of my counter and I almost screamed
- 12:05Speaker 1: in fear. There was a pale, bony hand resting on it.
- 12:09Speaker 1: I looked up and saw the same woman was standing
- 12:12Speaker 1: at the counter and staring at me with an expressionless face. Hello,
- 12:17Speaker 1: how can I help.
- 12:17Speaker 2: You, ma'am?
- 12:18Speaker 1: Yes, I need some guidance on buying a She looked
- 12:22Speaker 1: at those couches again and stopped talking. Are you looking
- 12:26Speaker 1: for couches? She didn't answer me, She just kept looking
- 12:30Speaker 1: at the couches and then started to whisper No, don't,
- 12:35Speaker 1: don't do.
- 12:35Speaker 2: That, ma'am.
- 12:37Speaker 1: Is everything all right, ma'am?
- 12:41Speaker 2: I almost shouted.
- 12:42Speaker 1: She looked at me with nervous eyes and said, yes,
- 12:46Speaker 1: I'm terribly sorry. My husband keeps interrupting me.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Now.
- 12:51Speaker 1: It was nine p m. And the stores started to
- 12:54Speaker 1: become empty. Justin already left early that day, so there
- 12:57Speaker 1: was only Sophie and myself. I looked around and saw
- 13:01Speaker 1: she wasn't there at that moment. It was just me
- 13:04Speaker 1: and this weird woman in the store. I looked everywhere
- 13:08Speaker 1: and said, in a confused voice, Um, your husband, Yes,
- 13:13Speaker 1: he's not in a happy mood to day, but he'll
- 13:16Speaker 1: be fine once I find something good for him, and
- 13:19Speaker 1: then smiled in a very unnatural way. When the woman entered,
- 13:23Speaker 1: I saw her alone, and since then customers left the
- 13:26Speaker 1: store and no one has gone inside so far. I
- 13:30Speaker 1: stood near the entrance so no one could avoid my watch.
- 13:33Speaker 1: While entering this ikea store, I said, but, ma'am, I
- 13:37Speaker 1: don't see your husband anywhere. Are you sure everything's all right.
- 13:41Speaker 1: She suddenly turned pale and said, what do you mean
- 13:45Speaker 1: you don't see him? He's standing right behind you. The
- 13:48Speaker 1: hair on the back of my neck stood up in fear.
- 13:51Speaker 1: I couldn't decide on my next move. Should I be
- 13:54Speaker 1: calling for Sophie out loud or just turned my back.
- 13:57Speaker 1: The woman looked over my shoulder and said, no, don't.
- 14:02Speaker 1: I couldn't stop myself any more. I bolted out from
- 14:05Speaker 1: that counter. Sophie, where are you? I screamed frantically. There
- 14:10Speaker 1: was no one at the counter, but I was still
- 14:12Speaker 1: shivering in an unknown fear. The woman started to whisper
- 14:16Speaker 1: in a low voice. Just tell me what you want, Sam,
- 14:20Speaker 1: and I will get it for you, and then you
- 14:22Speaker 1: must leave me alone. Do you get it? Sam? Sophie
- 14:25Speaker 1: came rushing out of the washroom, hearing my scream and said,
- 14:29Speaker 1: what in the hell is going on here? I pointed
- 14:32Speaker 1: towards the woman and said she sank some crazy shit
- 14:36Speaker 1: and behaving even crazier. Sophie and I stood to the
- 14:40Speaker 1: side while watching this woman ranting and whispering to the wind.
- 14:44Speaker 1: The woman then looked right at us and said.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Please tell him to leave me now. I am tired of.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Doing this every day, then started to cry like a child.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Sophie got close to her and said.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Tell whom, ma'am, who are you talking to?
- 15:02Speaker 1: She screamed like a lunatic, My dead husband. He keeps
- 15:07Speaker 1: coming back. Sophie and I both froze in fear. Suddenly,
- 15:12Speaker 1: the woman grabbed Sophie's hand and started whispering, no, no, please.
- 15:17Speaker 1: I ran to the counter to call the cops, seeing
- 15:20Speaker 1: things going out of hand. Just when the store lights
- 15:23Speaker 1: started flickering. Sophie screamed and freed her to run to
- 15:26Speaker 1: the door. I too, ran with her as the woman
- 15:29Speaker 1: started to vomit on the floor. We were both extremely
- 15:33Speaker 1: scared and out of rational explanations. The furniture at the
- 15:37Speaker 1: store started to swing in the air and collide with
- 15:40Speaker 1: each other, making loud thuds. Some of these furnitures even
- 15:43Speaker 1: broke into pieces due to these supernatural occurrences. As soon
- 15:47Speaker 1: as Sophie and I came out of the store, the
- 15:50Speaker 1: entrance door shut behind us. We banged on it, tried
- 15:53Speaker 1: to open it, but nothing helped. The woman kept vomiting
- 15:57Speaker 1: on the floor as the lights flickered and furniture rattled
- 16:00Speaker 1: against each other. Suddenly the lights went off and all
- 16:04Speaker 1: the sound stopped. We were both panting in fear with
- 16:08Speaker 1: my trembling hand, I called nine one one. We tried
- 16:12Speaker 1: to open the door once again, and surprisingly it opened.
- 16:15Speaker 2: This time.
- 16:16Speaker 1: The store was in complete darkness, and none of us
- 16:19Speaker 1: could figure out a single thing in the dark. Sophie
- 16:22Speaker 1: and I were walking side by side when we both almost.
- 16:26Speaker 2: Slipped on the floor. A shit, What was under my feet?
- 16:30Speaker 1: Sophie said, I too felt that the floor had become slippery.
- 16:34Speaker 1: I thought maybe we had stepped on the vomit, and
- 16:37Speaker 1: I turned on the flashlight on my phone, only to
- 16:39Speaker 1: witness something that I will never be able.
- 16:42Speaker 2: To forget about.
- 16:43Speaker 1: The woman was lying dead on the floor. Her face
- 16:47Speaker 1: was staring at us, Her eyes were wide and coming
- 16:50Speaker 1: out of the eye sockets, and there were blood drops
- 16:53Speaker 1: on her lips. We realized that she had vomited blood
- 16:56Speaker 1: this entire time. But this is not the only scary
- 17:00Speaker 1: part we came across. The woman was being dragged on
- 17:04Speaker 1: the blood and left in the middle of the store.
- 17:07Speaker 1: We could see a trail of blood splattered on the
- 17:09Speaker 1: floor in a straight line. The cops came and they
- 17:13Speaker 1: inspected the entire store and talked to all of us
- 17:17Speaker 1: and the customers who visited the shop that day. The
- 17:20Speaker 1: paramedics declared this woman was suffering from an illness, which
- 17:23Speaker 1: is why she vomited blood and.
- 17:25Speaker 2: Later died out of a heart attack.
- 17:27Speaker 1: But the only question that haunts me to sleep is
- 17:30Speaker 1: she was completely alone in the store when the supernatural
- 17:33Speaker 1: occurrences took place, because Sophie and I already ran outside.
- 17:37Speaker 1: No one was inside except her then, who dragged her
- 17:41Speaker 1: body to the middle of the store after she died.
- 17:45Speaker 1: I'm trying to get more information on this woman. I
- 17:47Speaker 1: want to know what happened to her husband, if there
- 17:50Speaker 1: was any I promised to let you know once I
- 17:52Speaker 1: get a hold of that till then stay safe. This
- 18:02Speaker 1: is probably the first time that I'm opening up to people.
- 18:06Speaker 1: I've been on a run for the last month. I'm
- 18:09Speaker 1: not going to disclose my name because I don't want
- 18:12Speaker 1: to go to prison. Before you sympathize with me, let
- 18:15Speaker 1: me tell you that I am the bad guy in
- 18:17Speaker 1: this story. Hence I am paying for what I did.
- 18:22Speaker 1: I'm a thirty four year old American mail I had
- 18:25Speaker 1: a bad habit of gambling for which I could never
- 18:28Speaker 1: do savings for myself. When my landlord warned me for
- 18:31Speaker 1: the one last time that if I didn't pay the
- 18:33Speaker 1: rent next month, he'll throw me out into the streets,
- 18:37Speaker 1: I finally decided to do something with my miserable life.
- 18:41Speaker 2: I took a job at Ikea.
- 18:43Speaker 1: I used to arrange the store and shift unwanted pieces
- 18:46Speaker 1: of furniture to the basement. Then after the customers left,
- 18:50Speaker 1: I used to clean the floor and leave for home.
- 18:53Speaker 1: The manager of the store gave me a spare key
- 18:56Speaker 1: for the store as I became the last one to
- 18:58Speaker 1: leave this place. The job I was boring, but this
- 19:01Speaker 1: was my only way to.
- 19:02Speaker 2: Earn some cash.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Sometimes I used to sleep in the expensive mattresses of
- 19:07Speaker 1: the store after it got closed. I kind of liked
- 19:10Speaker 1: roaming around the store pretending that I am in my
- 19:13Speaker 1: home and these are all my furnitures. But I was
- 19:16Speaker 1: always careful with the furniture so that no harm took
- 19:19Speaker 1: place on them. Slowly things started to settle down for me.
- 19:24Speaker 1: I got a small raise and my life was taking
- 19:27Speaker 1: a good turn. But it seems like I am my
- 19:30Speaker 1: biggest enemy, which is why I ruined everything for once
- 19:33Speaker 1: in all. One weekend, I went to a bar to
- 19:37Speaker 1: drink and chill for some time. After a long time,
- 19:40Speaker 1: I touched alcohol. Hence I crossed my limits and drank
- 19:44Speaker 1: a lot. It was a local bar and there were
- 19:47Speaker 1: only a few people around. I looked at my phone
- 19:50Speaker 1: and saw it was nine pm. I was thinking to
- 19:52Speaker 1: leave when my eyes went to the other side of
- 19:55Speaker 1: the bar. A girl was sitting at the bar and
- 19:58Speaker 1: drinking beer.
- 19:59Speaker 2: She looked at me, and our eyes met.
- 20:02Speaker 1: There was something in her stare that made me feel
- 20:04Speaker 1: like she was interested in me. She smiled at me,
- 20:07Speaker 1: and I smiled back at her. I then got up
- 20:10Speaker 1: and walked up to her with stumbling feet. I was
- 20:13Speaker 1: feeling quite drunk. I said, Hey, are you waiting for someone?
- 20:20Speaker 1: She laughed in a teasing manner and said, what do
- 20:23Speaker 1: you think. I realized that she was playing with me.
- 20:27Speaker 1: I got close to her and said, if you're not
- 20:30Speaker 1: waiting for anyone, you can come with me. The girl
- 20:34Speaker 1: got up immediately and said, okay, let's go. I wasn't
- 20:39Speaker 1: expecting such a prompt reply, so I got a bit surprised.
- 20:44Speaker 1: We came out of the bar and got into my car.
- 20:47Speaker 1: She said, do you think you should be driving? I
- 20:50Speaker 1: smiled awkwardly because I was feeling too drunk to drive
- 20:54Speaker 1: at that moment. The girl smiled again and said, here,
- 20:58Speaker 1: give me your keys, I'll drive. Without thinking much, I
- 21:01Speaker 1: gave her my keys. She started the engine and we
- 21:05Speaker 1: hit the road.
- 21:06Speaker 2: So where are we going, she asked.
- 21:09Speaker 1: I replied, we can go to my place, or there's
- 21:13Speaker 1: a place where I can take you too. She looked
- 21:15Speaker 1: at me with curious eyes and said where. I told
- 21:20Speaker 1: her that I work at Ikea and that I have
- 21:22Speaker 1: the keys to sneak inside. She laughed and agreed to
- 21:25Speaker 1: go with me there. We arrived near the store at
- 21:28Speaker 1: eleven p m. I unlocked the door and we went inside.
- 21:32Speaker 1: I saw our eyes dazzled. As soon as we entered
- 21:34Speaker 1: the door. She started to run around like an excited
- 21:37Speaker 1: little girl. Sometimes she sat on the wooden chairs, and
- 21:41Speaker 1: other times she was lying on every couch and mattress
- 21:44Speaker 1: in the store. I understood that she was excited, but
- 21:47Speaker 1: the way she was running around and touching the furniture, I.
- 21:51Speaker 2: Got a bit worried.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Hey, slow down, Please don't break anything. My boss doesn't
- 21:56Speaker 1: know I come here after work hours. She laughed and
- 21:59Speaker 1: sat on a wooden table nearby. I walked up to her,
- 22:02Speaker 1: hoping for something to happen between me and her, when
- 22:05Speaker 1: she said, so, do you bring all.
- 22:08Speaker 2: Of your girls here for casual hookups?
- 22:11Speaker 1: Honestly I never brought anyone there before, so I said,
- 22:15Speaker 1: oh god, no, I'm not that kind of guy. Honestly,
- 22:19Speaker 1: you're the first girl I brought here. I saw her
- 22:21Speaker 1: face change suddenly. She looked around and said, in a
- 22:25Speaker 1: curious voice, do you mind telling me where your boss
- 22:29Speaker 1: keeps the store cash? What?
- 22:32Speaker 2: Why? I said?
- 22:35Speaker 1: She got up and said, well, we can check. You know,
- 22:38Speaker 1: don't you want to be rich? And she smiled. Mysteriously.
- 22:43Speaker 1: I understood that I brought trouble.
- 22:45Speaker 2: Into this place.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Her words didn't feel right to me, so I said,
- 22:49Speaker 1: in an awkward tone, you know this place is stuffy.
- 22:53Speaker 1: Why don't we go to my house and do something fun.
- 22:56Speaker 1: I left the car keys on the table she was
- 22:58Speaker 1: sitting on before, so without wasting any more time, I
- 23:02Speaker 1: went towards them and picked them up to leave.
- 23:04Speaker 2: As I turned back at her, my heart stopped.
- 23:08Speaker 1: She was holding a sharp knife and grinning at me.
- 23:11Speaker 2: What are you doing? I said? She smiled and.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Said, take me to the cash counter before I spill
- 23:19Speaker 1: your entrails out. Oh my god, this woman was trying
- 23:23Speaker 1: to rob the store. That's why she came so willingly
- 23:26Speaker 1: with me. Look, you're making a big mistake. I'll be
- 23:30Speaker 1: in trouble if something happens to the store, I said
- 23:33Speaker 1: in a panting voice. Ah, I don't care, you dumb shit.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Just take me to the cash counter or I will
- 23:40Speaker 1: stab you to death. Right now, she replied, out of fear,
- 23:45Speaker 1: I started to walk towards the cash counter. I was
- 23:47Speaker 1: still feeling drunk. Hence I couldn't take any chance to
- 23:50Speaker 1: tackle her because she was the one who had a
- 23:52Speaker 1: weapon with her. The only thing that has been going
- 23:55Speaker 1: in my mind is that if she robs this place
- 23:58Speaker 1: and leaves, the entire suspicion will come on me. There
- 24:02Speaker 1: hasn't been a break in. As I opened the door
- 24:04Speaker 1: and let her in, except for the store manager, I'm
- 24:07Speaker 1: the only one who has a spare key. We reached
- 24:11Speaker 1: the counter and she rushed to the small cupboard where
- 24:13Speaker 1: the cash was kept. She hit the small lock on
- 24:16Speaker 1: the cupboard with the butt of her knife, and the
- 24:18Speaker 1: lock broke. There were bundles of notes inside the cupboard.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Her eyes dazzled as she looked at the money. She
- 24:26Speaker 1: kept the knife on the slab of the counter and
- 24:28Speaker 1: started to fill her bag with the money. She was
- 24:31Speaker 1: occupied with such greed that she almost forgot I was
- 24:34Speaker 1: standing close to her. As soon as she let go
- 24:37Speaker 1: of her weapon, I thought that this was my chance
- 24:39Speaker 1: to stop her. I picked up the knife and said stop.
- 24:44Speaker 1: I'm calling the cops right now. She turned back to
- 24:47Speaker 1: me and screamed like an animal. She then jumped on
- 24:50Speaker 1: me to get her knife back. We were tackling each other,
- 24:53Speaker 1: and amid that a terrible accident took place. I accidentally
- 24:58Speaker 1: stabbed her in the chest. Blood poured down from her
- 25:02Speaker 1: mouth and chest. She held her chest and I saw
- 25:05Speaker 1: fear and pain in her eyes at the same time.
- 25:08Speaker 1: She then crouched down on.
- 25:09Speaker 2: The floor and choked for a while. Oh my god,
- 25:12Speaker 2: are you all right? I didn't mean to.
- 25:15Speaker 1: I tried to stop her bleeding, but it was already
- 25:18Speaker 1: too late. I saw her body becoming still within a wink,
- 25:23Speaker 1: and she died. Yes, I've murdered her. I committed murder.
- 25:31Speaker 1: I am a murderer now. But what I did next
- 25:35Speaker 1: makes me evil, I guess. I sat down on the
- 25:38Speaker 1: floor and watched her dead body for a few minutes,
- 25:41Speaker 1: then got up to end this nightmare only if I
- 25:45Speaker 1: knew that I could never do that. I wrapped her
- 25:48Speaker 1: body in a plastic sheet and then locked her in
- 25:51Speaker 1: an old almirah under the basement. She's still lying there.
- 25:56Speaker 1: I cleaned the floor, washed off all the blood, and
- 25:59Speaker 1: since then I've been on the run.
- 26:01Speaker 2: I drive most of the days so that I can go.
- 26:04Speaker 1: As far as possible. At night, I take shelter in
- 26:07Speaker 1: the roadside motel. I took some money from the Ikea
- 26:11Speaker 1: store because it will help me to suffice. I don't
- 26:14Speaker 1: know how long I'll be able to continue like this.
- 26:17Speaker 1: I'm sure the cops are looking for me, or maybe not.
- 26:20Speaker 1: I'm not sure. The only thing that is ten times
- 26:23Speaker 1: scarier than this entire incident is when I lay on
- 26:27Speaker 1: the bed to sleep.
- 26:28Speaker 2: I hear her.
- 26:30Speaker 1: No matter where I go, I see her standing near
- 26:33Speaker 1: my bed in the middle of the night, holding her
- 26:36Speaker 1: bloody chest while blood keeps gushing out of her mouth.
- 26:40Speaker 1: She just stares at me with her horrible, lifeless grin
- 26:45Speaker 1: and says, let me go, let me go, let me go.
