Ghost of Torturer
by Brandon Camacho

My family and I recently came into some money, so we decided to take a trip to Europe and rent a room in a hotel. This was all in the summer. One night, I was in my room trying to watch TV, but there wasn't anything interesting on. Before I turned the TV off, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable and I noticed how very stuffy it was in the room and my throat was dry. I decided to go in the kitchen and get a drink.

I was filling a cup of water and I saw something small and round looking up at me. It looked like it had red eyes staring at me. I continued to look at it with a lot of curiosity while still filling my over-filled glass of water. I was about to grab it when my mom called and I turned to face her to tell her I was getting water, then I turned back and I saw something black fly at my face and I fell on the ground. I felt myself falling and I landed on hard stone. I suddenly felt extremely cold and drafty and I stood up.

I saw a short, fat, bald man coming up to me slowly with what looked like a fire stoker. When he was at about two feet from me, I suddenly felt my whole face drenched with cold water and my family standing above me. When I asked what happened, they said that I dropped the glass and I was screaming bloody murder for about a minute.

We left the hotel two days later and returned to my house, but before I left, I asked about the history of the land of the hotel it was on. He said it was torture ground for like the people who didn't follow the same religion.
