The Fifth Floor

Its was 11:33 at night on a Saturday. Jesse Maxwell went back to the daily news building to drop off some paper work that he had to work earlier. The office was quiet since it was after hours and everyone had gone home. Jesse was working on project for the paper about the towns hero Balto. Jesse got inside the elevator and pressed the button for the forth floor. The building was over fifty years old but was remodeled. But only the first four floors were remodeled and the fifth floor stayed the same. The elevator doors close and the elevator starts to go up.

Jesse leans against the wall of the elevator and relaxes. Jesse looks up noticing that the lights were flickering. "That's strange," Jesse thought to himself. The elevator then started to shake and rumble. "What the hell?!" Jesse said holding on the rail. The lights flashed on and off as the elevator continued to rumble and shake. Suddenly the elevator just stopped and the lights stayed on. "Okay?" Jesse said to himself. It was silent for a few minutes then the elevator opened. Jesse looked outside of the elevator seeing just dark room. Jesse stepped out into the dark room not knowing what was going to happen.

Jesse then got into his pocket and pulled out his phone and turned on his flashlight. Jesse then flashed his flashlight on the wall and noticed that there was a number, the number five was on the wall letting Jesse know that he was on the fifth floor. Jesse was confused by this. The elevator was only programmed to go to the forth floor. "Jesse," a dark raspy voice called out Jesse's name. "Who's there?" Jesse said as he turned and look's around the room. "Jesse," The raspy voice called out his name again. Jesse looked around the room some more but couldn't find anything.

A soda can rolled out from a small desk that was near the window. "What the hell?" Jesse said to himself. Jesse moved closer to the soda can with his flashlight pointing on it. Jesse moved a little bit closer to can but now feeling cold. "Jesse," the raspy voice called one last time causing the soda can to fly in the air hitting Jesse on the face. Jesse fell back and onto his butt. "Oh shit," Jesse shouted as he panicked. Standing up quickly he bolted for the elevator. Jesse jumped into the elevator and started pressing the buttons for the elevator doors to close, but nothing would happen.

"Jesse don't go," The raspy voice said sending chills down Jesse spine. Jesse looked forward seeing a dark figure next to the window of the room. Jesse was speechless seeing the dark figure standing there life less. Jesse and the dark figure were just at a stare, The elevator doors just closed leaving Jesse closed off from the dark figure. Jesse started shaking as the elevator went down. The elevator doors opened up and Jesse ran out of the elevator and out of the building. Jesse stopped and turned back and looked up at the fifth floors windows. two white eyes just stared at Jesse as he stood outside.

Jesse swallowed hard as he stared back at the figure. The dark figure blinked once and faded back into the darkness of the room. Jesse didn't take anymore chances of looking at whatever that thing was. Jesse turned looking forward away from the building and started running home. The next morning Jesse walked up slowly towards the daily news building looking up at the same window the dark figure was looking at his through. Jesse shook off the feeling of last night and entered the building. Jesse walked into the same elevator he had got into last night but with some co workers.

The elevator stopped on the forth floor making Jesse up in fear. "Jesse you okay? You look like you seen a ghost," said one of his co workers standing next to him. Jesse looked at his co worker and shook his head. "No. I just had a hard night last night," Jesse answered. His co worker nodded while they all step off the elevator. The office was a little bit crazy since mostly everyone was trying to do a good story on Balto for saving the children. Jesse walked over to his desk and sat down in his office chair. Jesse turned to his left and noticed something odd. In fact it was very odd.

It was the folder Jesse was going to drop off last night but didn't. Jesse puts his hand on the folder and pulls it closer to him. "I thought I forgot it on the fifth floor," Jesse said to himself. Jesse slowly opened the folder and found something shocking. Jesse project was still inside but the shocking part was there was an old picture with an old women and two little girls standing next the old women in front of the daily news building in its younger form. Jesse looked closer to the little girl on the left of the old women. "Mom?" Jesse said quietly. "Jesse," the same raspy voice from last night called out Jesse name leaving Jesse with more chils than ever.

Jesse looked up above him seeing a small little hole with an eye ball looking down at him. Jesse was frozen, he couldn't move at all only looking back at the small little eye ball looking down at him. "Hey Jesse I just found out that your great grandmother started up this building for paper news and I guess she passed away on the fifth floor or something like that," Jesse's boss said walking up to Jesse desk. "Jesse?" his boss asked. Jesse just continue to stare up at the small little hole with eye ball with his mouth open. Jesse's boss looked up at the small hole that Jesse was looking at. Jesse's boss's jaw dropped at what he saw staring down at them.

"Jesse..."
