“Whatever happens, don’t sleep on the bed,” was all she said almost as a warning. The guest was confused, but a gut feeling wouldn’t leave him as he went into his room that seemed perfectly fine.
He decided to adhere to the warning words from the woman and slept on the floor that night, even if the bed looked nice and comfy. In the dead of the night he awoke on the cold floor by a harrowing sound. The bed had clasped together as a sort of mechanical device had been put into place to squash those sleeping on the bed.
The man hurried out from the inn, his life intact. But not all were so lucky after spending the night in that room.
