Creepy Motel Story

My name is Thomas. My wife Jenny and I live in Alaska. Jenny and I have been in love and we got married a few years ago. We both work in a bank. After the wedding, we planned to go for a vacation somewhere. We applied for leave in the bank, which was approved.

On the decided day, we left home in the afternoon. Jenny was overjoyed.

"You know, I've always loved spending time with you," Jenny said.

“I know my darling”, I said.

"I wanted to go on a long drive with you. Today my wish came true," said Jenny. "We'll go all over the States."

I replied with a smile, "OK."

Jenny picked up a tin can of coke from the back seat and started drinking.

I said, “Jenny Coke is not good for your health.”

"Please Thomas don’t stop me eating anything on this trip”, Jenny requested with a smile. “See how beautiful the weather is”.

I smiled and became silent.

It was getting dark. We were 2 hours away from our destination.

Suddenly the weather began to change. Soon, it began to rain heavily. We were passing a bypass at that time.

Jenny became restless because the rain made it very difficult to drive.

Suddenly, I saw the flashing signboard of a motel from a distance.

I reassured Jenny and we arrived at the motel. The motel was deserted due to the off-season.

When I went to the counter, a gentle lady with a smiling face came out of the kitchen. She greeted us and said she was the wife of this motel owner.

He showed and led us to the room. I ask her, “Can we have something to eat”? She replied,” you don’t need to worry about it; I was preparing dinner before you arrived. It will be there in a moment. First of all, you need to be refreshed yourselves”.

After a while, she brought us a hot meal and no doubt it was delicious.

It was still raining hard outside. After dinner, we were discussing the weather when suddenly the power went out. Jenny panicked in the dark.

I reassured her, "Don't worry Jenny; they will start the generator soon."

After waiting sometime, when the generator did not start, I thought I should arrange for a flashlight or a candle.

Now with the rain came the thunderstorm. From time to time, lightning flashed in the sky. I came out of my room and walked towards the motel owner’s room. I was wondering why he hasn’t arranged the light yet.

When I approached his room, I heard that the couple was arguing loudly over something. I was about to intervene when suddenly their fight escalated. The man pulled out a pistol under the pillow and fired. The blast of gunfire was drowned out by the thunder of the clouds. I was completely shaken; I didn't know what to do.

The motel owner was now anxiously looking at his wife's body. Then, after some thought, he turned outside the room. I ran and hid somewhere. I saw him going and pull out a hoe from the storeroom. Shortly afterward, he was carrying his wife's body on his shoulder toward a grove of trees behind the motel. I saw that he went to the grove of trees and started digging a pit. I ran to my room and asked jenny to pick up her things and go.

“Is everything ok? What happened, how we will go in this weather”, asked Jenny.

I couldn’t tell Jenny about the incident. I just told him that the motel owner's intentions didn't look right. We have to get out from here.

After leaving the motel, we reached our destination in few hours at the time of sunset. Jenny kept asking me about that night every time but I didn’t tell her. Our vacation was ruined because I never got a good night's sleep after that night.

It happened to me that as I closed my eyes to sleep, the smiling face of that lady would come before my eyes. There was a complaint in his eyes. She said nothing just looking at me quietly and then I couldn't sleep all night.

Jenny was unaware of my condition. When things got out of endurance, I told Jenny the whole situation. Jenny was upset by what I told her. He advised me to go to the police. I liked what he said. I went to the police station and told the whole story. Police took immediate action, arrested the man, and recovered his wife's body.

Since that day, that woman has only come to my dream once with a smiling face. But this time there was gratitude in his eyes instead of a complaint. It never happened again.
