I’m skipping some days of stories because so much happened, I can’t talk about it all. But boy, oh boy was this an interesting one.
NOTE: If something is too good to be true… remember that.
There was a listing on Craig’s List for a one-bedroom in a shared apartment with (I think) 2 other girls. It was super cheap at $950. Great location! West 95th street, so it was right by the subway stop. The apartment had a large kitchen listed AND… ALL UTILITIES were included.
I’m there!
Rather, Asim and I went over after calling up the girl.
There was another girl who was taking a look at it before me. Popular place! It was a very old, dingy looking building from the inside. Dark, broken elevator. Straight out of a movie (or Cairo, for that matter). The apartment was very Cairo-esque too. Long hallways, high ceilings, narrow walkways.
Guess what? The owner, Liz, was from the OC. Cali, holla!
The bedroom was spacious, furnished, it was good. Not totally clean, but whateva leatha, you know? Now, as Asim and I were in the kitchen, Liz got a phone call. Another interested viewer.
I step out and look into the bathroom while Asim stands outside behind… facing a girl sitting in her room opposite the bathroom. She gestures to him. I don’t see it.
I turn around and this girl shaking her head, signaling cutting off her neck and saying very emphatically what might be “Don’t live here.”
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
We quickly say thank you and leave. Was that girl trapped?? Scared?? Who is LIZ anyway?? Is she crazy? Mean?? A GHOST!?
When Asim and I go downstairs and outside, the girl who was looking at the place before us came up to us.
“Did you guys see that girl in the room?”
Straight out of a movie.
