Behind The Jammed Door

So, What were the voices?

He turned back swiftly. The tape was still playing? Who on earth added “Help Me” in the recording?

He ran to the table... and switched the walkman off.

‘Help Me!’ He heard again.

Who was that? The player was off. Then who was speaking?

Albert looked around suspiciously.

‘Help Me! Please Help ME!’  The whispers grew louder and louder but they weren’t threatening. They were pleading.

‘Help Me!’ He still had no clue from where were those whispers coming. Then…

BANG!

He heard a banging of a door.

Bang! Bang! Bang! … It continued.

‘Maybe, someone was trapped in one of the rooms…’ Albert thought. That would explain the falling voices. He walked toward the banged door.

Bang! Bang! Bang! … It grew fast and he reached the spot. From where the banging was coming, made his hairs stand straight.

The Jammed Door.

As he stood in front of it... the banging ceased!

‘How can it be possible?’ his mind gasped. This door was jammed that morning.

With shaking palms, he clutched the handles and pushed it with a jerk...

It OPENED!

Albert gazed at the moon lit interior. But the room was empty! No Way! If No one’s here, then who was banging the door? 

Trembling like a vibrator, he walked in. The room was covered in ash. The walls, which originally were of lighter color, had black soot on them.  A burned bed was placed in a corner, with a burned teddy bear, resting on the pillow. Floor was scattered with burned remains of toys, a soot covered doll, half horse and others who were damaged beyond recognition.

He was more than sure that the room belonged to a child. Half molten crayons were piled in a corner. The room wasn’t cleaned after what happened there. He saw the whole area in disgust and sorrow then a drop of sweat rolled down his neck.

He noticed....The room had become incredibly hot. And in a minute...

The Whole area was on fire!

UH OH! FIREEE!!!

This kinda reminds me of a video game I played a while back called Parasite Eve except the fires were caused due to biological warfare (DNA reactions and stuff like that...had something to do with the host's mitochondria...
