Every night at exactly 2:17 AM, a strange sound came from the last room of an abandoned hotel. Nobody dared to enter it.
One evening, Arjun, a curious traveler, stayed at the hotel despite the warnings.
At 2:16 AM, he was awake, staring at the clock.
Exactly one minute later, three slow knocks echoed from the last room.
Knock.
Knock.
Knock.
Arjun walked toward the door. A cold wind passed through the hallway, although every window was closed.
He opened the room.
Inside was an old chair, a broken mirror, and a clock showing exactly 2:17 AM.
Suddenly, the door slammed shut behind him.
In the mirror, Arjun saw himself standing beside a strange woman in white.
He turned around.
Nobody was there.
The woman in the mirror smiled and whispered, “You are late.”
The clock stopped.
Then another reflection appeared beside Arjun.
It was an older version of himself, covered in blood.
The older Arjun pointed toward the door and screamed, “Leave before 2:18!”
But the clock suddenly changed.
2:18 AM.
The lights went out.
The next morning, hotel workers found the room empty.
Only Arjun’s watch remained on the floor, stopped at 2:17.
Since then, every night, three knocks come from the last room.
And a voice whispers,
“Arjun is still inside.”
