$name was born and raised in a small town. $cheshe had just graduated from a local university and recently got a job in the city. Because of this, $name was looking all over the city for a cheap rent.

[[Look for flyers]]$name started heading to the library so $heshe can access the computers.

$name headed out to look for flyers around the city.
As $heshe was walking, $heshe noticed a flyer at the corner of $hisher eyes.
//Basement apartment for rent!
2 rooms and 1 bathroom
Big windows and lots of sunshine
450$ per month//
$name was intentionally avoiding basement apartments but $heshe could not ignore the price... And for TWO rooms!
So $heshe called the number on the flyer and luckily it was still availble.
$cheshe did not want to take any chances so $heshe immediately set up a meeting with the landlord.
[[Go see the landlord]]<audio autoplay>

As $heshe searched and searched, $heshe let out a sigh.
$name's parents were farmers and $name knew $heshe could not afford any of these rents. So $heshe decided to try $hisher luck with [[flyers->Look for flyers]]"You were really lucky. You won't find any rents cheaper than this." the landlord said as she opened the [[doors]].<audio autoplay>

"The windows have bars so you won't have to worry about any break-ins. The water boiler works perfectly fine too. Hot water and cold water any time of the day~" the landlord added.
She turned around and asked $name "How is it? Does it work for you?"
...
$name thought about it for a minute and replied "I think it's perfect. I'll sign the contract."
"Good choice! You can move in tomorrow if you want."
From what $heshe saw, this basement apartment was suprisingly not too shabby. So $heshe decided to [[move in]] first thing tomorrow.<audio autoplay loop>

Boxes after boxes, $name and the landlord's husband ran up and down to grab more boxes.
After a full day of moving and unpacking, it was finally time to rest.
And the sun slowly set.

Before long, $name started hearing sounds near the window, as if someone was walking while leaning against the wall.
After few minutes, $name woke up from $hisher slumber and [[opened $hisher eyes->Open eyes]] while still laying down to see where the sound was coming from.<audio autoplay>

[[GET UP]]<img src='http://puu.sh/wf9cz/a7c06fe927.png'>
When $name jumped up and looked again, the woman $name thought $heshe saw disappeared.
$name thought "I must have imagined it... Probably because I was too tired..." and went back to [[sleep]].The next day, $name opened $hisher eyes and was relieved it was morning.
$cheshe looked around the room and saw that the walls had a black hue near the ceiling.
"I thought they re-did the wallpapers here... Is it just dirty because it's a basement apartment?" $name thought to $himselfherself as $heshe got up to clean it.
As $name got up, $heshe also noticed the floors were blackened too.
"Is this mold? How can both the floors and the walls get mold in a matter of day?" $name annoyingly murmured to $himselfherself.

[[hmm?]]
<img src='https://puu.sh/wf9Qj/8bbd7ddb2e.png'>
When $name looked closely at the wall, $heshe found the name "Tommy" poorly written on the wall in red.
"Must have been a boy's name who lived here" $name thought to $himselfherself.
Should $name [[forget about it?]]/[[ask the landlord?]]$name decided to just forget about it. It's just a name written on the wall. After a whole day of cleaning, $name decided to [[get some shut eye]].<audio autoplay>

The sound came back again and this time it was louder. $name woke up and this time $heshe opened $hisher eyes very wide to make sure $heshe doesn't imagine things again.

Just like last night, $name witnessed the same woman looking at $himher by the door.
[[Get up!]]<img src='http://puu.sh/wfbqx/e1168429a9.png'>
As soon as $name tried to get up, $hisher body froze, unable to move.
$chisher eyes locked on the woman by the door.

When she reached the bed, $name felt her hand on $hisher thighs as she started crawling over $himher.

She screamed "SARAH!!"
Suprised, $name jumped and got up and once again, the woman had disappeared.
$name could not comprehend whether the woman was a dream or not, as it felt too real.
[[Try to relax]]<img src='https://puu.sh/wfdol/a6187f2599.png'>
$name decided to believe it was a nightmare caused by stress from moving and $hisher work this past week.
...
But ever since this night, $heshe felt like $heshe wasn't alone in $hisher basement room...
[[Few days later at night...]]<img src='https://puu.sh/wfkIh/a2b63d11b6.png'>

$name woke up to find $himselfherself alone in $hisher room again.
But nonetheless, $heshe felt out of breath as if $heshe had really been choked. $name coughed and coughed until $heshe felt better. But who was $heshe kidding, $heshe did not feel much better.
$cheshe thought to $himselfherself, if $heshe stayed in this basement room any longer, $heshe could actually die.
...
The next morning, $name called the landlord as soon as $heshe woke up.
[[Call landlord]]<audio autoplay>

"Hello? Hi, this is $name". I can't stay in this basement apartment anymore. I will post the apartment for rent and look for a different person who could replace me..."
...
"Are.. Are you hiding something from me? Tell me honestly. Something happened in this room right?"
...
"What? No.. Why would I make something up? Ever since I moved in, I couldn't get any sle.." $name paused looking at the wall $heshe had cleaned few days ago.
[[Look at wall]]<img src='https://puu.sh/wfmAy/be5fbaf697.png'>
It was the engraved name $name had saw few days ago: 'Tommy'.
$name vaugely remembered, the woman said "My Sarah... My Tommy"
The writting on the wall $name had disregarded was the name the woman had been looking for.
Then $name came to a realization that the woman wasn't a simple nightmare. So $heshe started packing right away as $heshe did not want to spend a single minute more in that room.
As $heshe was [[packing...]]<img src='https://puu.sh/wfmO0/d63bfb0236.png'>
$name felt someone looking at $himher through the window. $cheshe quickly turned around to see, but no one was there.
But $heshe felt certain that someone was watching, so $heshe ran out the doors to the street.

When $name turned at the corner of $hisher front entrance, $heshe saw a little boy.
"HEY STOP!!!" $heshe yelled.
The boy then turned around and with a freightened face as he apologized "Sorry. I was just trying to get my ball that rolled over there..."
$name had a feeling that the boy might know something about the basement apartment, so $heshe asked "...Did you happen to know a boy named Tommy that lived over here?"
[[...->ask boy]]<img src='https://puu.sh/wfqrS/74d8dbd5e2.png'>
"...Tommy? He moved away..." The boy answered.
"He moved?... Do you know if Tommy is living with his mom?" $name asked.
"Yeah, him and his sister.. Those three used to live where you live."
$name felt something wasn't right. $cheshe had to ask.
"So... The mother is alive right?"

The boy suddenly turned around and started running away from $name.
"He..Hey! Wait!" $name screamed.
The boy stopped at her command and opened his mouth quietly "The truth is... Tommy's mom was hurt really bad so she is at the hospital... I think... That's what the adults were saying."
...
"But we all know. She passed away" The boy added.
...
"I went to get the ball because of that."
[["Huh?"]]<img src='http://puu.sh/wfqMY/ee47f0bf2e.png'>
"Huh? What do you mean?" $name replied.
"The older kids threw my ball by your window on purpose... I don't think you will believe me but your room is known among the kids to be haunted. All the other kids said they've seen the ghost woman that lives there. But because I haven't seen it, the older kids threw the ball as a joke." The boy explained.

"Tommy's dead mom..." the boy quietly whispered and ran away.
[[...->realize]]That is when $name realized $heshe haven't been dreaming about the ghost; But instead, $heshe was living with her...
...
Soon after $name moved out of the basement room and even until the end, $heshe could not get in contact with the landlord about the basement apartment. But instead, $heshe heard from around the neighbourhood that many new residents have moved out long before their contract ended.
The neighbours told me [[the real story]]<img src='http://puu.sh/wfrfv/c7d8e99c27.png'>
"In that basement apartment lived a small family who were very poor and could not even make rent payments. She had a son and a daughter who were both in elementary school. The mother had no money to feed and raise both children while also taking care of herself and the rent. So... she made up her mind to end her life and her childrens."

While the children were sleeping, she took sleeping pills and lit some briquettes up to slowly suffocate herself and her children. But the mother woke up in the middle and started to cough. I guess she didn't want to wake the children up, so she headed [[somewhere else->rooftop]].<img src='http://puu.sh/wfryd/e4986fe8a6.png'>
I guess she clearly made up her mind... She headed towards the building rooftop. She must have thought if all three died together, they would meet again in a better world in heaven. She looked through the window to make sure her children were dead... and after that[[...->jump]]<audio autoplay>
