Five years ago, when I was about 20 years old, I got a job
at one office that I thought was real. This is my story, Jason Lee.

My name is Jason Lee; about five years ago, when I was still
in my 20’s, I was struggling to look for a job. Actually, I felt so bored at
home, and like other people, I wanted to hold my own money. I send all
my resumes regardless of where I am heading or got stuck, with the hope at
least I got one interview from the job I was applied for. Hopefully.
So, I waited for almost two or three months.
So, I waited for almost two or three months.
At the moment, I felt like giving up. I already got an
answer from some of the resumes I sent through email, and most of the answer was a
disappointment. I was crying because I’ve been hoping to get the job. But, I
guess I am not lucky enough.
I was so depressed. But then I don’t give up.
I was so depressed. But then I don’t give up.
I kept telling myself that I am still young and still a long
way to go. So, I opened my computer, and start looking for a job. For night
and day, I was struggling to find a job that I like. Then, I type on google “Job vacancy”. I saw the job
title “Office boy”, and the company
wasn’t far from my house. So, this time I wasn’t giving too much hope so that I
won’t feel disappointed. Then, I manage to do my resume and send it to that
company’s email.

Then, I waited.
It does not take a long time. Suddenly, I got a call from an unknown number for about two or three days, but it was odd. But, I do remember the sound of that person called me.

For about 5 seconds, I heard weird voices and language.
Some of it was laughing, crying, and cursing at the same time. I immediately
end that call. Truthfully, I was a bit scared. Is this some kind of joke, or
did this phone was hacked by someone?
In the next 5 seconds, my phone rings again. The same
unknown number. I was hesitant to answer the phone, but I had to, so I did, “Hello, who’s
this?”. I was a relief after I heard a person’s voice, but his voice just weird. He didn't say much, but he told me that I got a job interview at 9.00
am tomorrow at XXX Company. He directly told me where the company at, while he told me I was trying to list the details.
That night, I prepared myself regarding whatever question will be asked.
The next morning, I prepared myself and started my motorcycle.
I read again the location the person gave me, and I was searching through google map. I begin to drive to that location. Along the road I was driving with, I felt very eerie because it was dark, yet it's already morning. It was an empty road.

I don't feel really well at that time, and I started to slow down my motorcycle; I don't think I can make it to the destination. This is my chance to get a job, so I proceed although I felt worried and scared.
After a while, I arrived safely at 8.50 am but to wait, what will happen ahead of me quite uncertain. That place looks old, spooky, and no occupants. But, stupidly, I still wait for that man for about 15 minutes. I wait outside. But I got these chills, not a very pleasant feeling.

It's been about an hour. I decided to get out of that place. I called the number again, but it was never in service. Luckily it still a day. I drove my motorcycle as fast as I can, get out from that place with my heart beating so fast.
After I arrived home, I ran to my laptop and search for that place. I was shocked by what I read on the news. It was abandoned 12 years ago; the manager locked the staff in the basement and left them to died. They were found after a week. According to the report, the manager records his staff's misery, all of their behaviour, the crying, the laughing of madness, and cursing.
It explained the first 5 seconds of calling last night.
The manager took his own life in his office while holding the phone. I felt the chills all over my spine. Luckily, I get out as fast from that place. It was a thrilling experience.After I arrived home, I ran to my laptop and search for that place. I was shocked by what I read on the news.

I should have a check on that place first before getting there.
