!["Can you show me the way?" [Korean horror story]](/_next/image?url=%2Fcrawled%2Fstorymarket-3460%2F1.webp&w=3840&q=75)
I wasn't going to post this but it's been living in my head rent free so here.
It was evening, one of those narrow alleyways, when she spoke to me.
Tall woman. Feet weirdly, *wrongly* small for her body, so she kept swaying side to side like she couldn't balance. Her hands were twig-thin. The bright red handbag she was carrying just... drooped.
"Can you show me the way?"
She was breathing funny. Or sighing. Honestly couldn't tell which. Like.
[haa... haa...]
And she wasn't even looking at me when she said it. Eyes pointed somewhere completely else.
"U-um... where are you trying to go...?"
Something was WRONG with this woman. I just wanted to answer fast and get out of there.
"Haruhi Tanimachi 1-19-4-201."
......
That was my address.
My address. My APARTMENT. Down to the unit number. Every single digit.
"I... I don't know where that is."
I said it and I meant it with my whole chest. Do NOT get involved. She bowed then, this deep creaky bow like her spine was folding the wrong way, and swayed back into the alley and disappeared.
So scary. SO SCARY.
I took the long way home on purpose. Went around like three extra blocks. Checked that my door was locked before I even opened it.
Opened it.
Dark room.
"Can you show me the way?"
The voice came from inside.
