➤ Author: Hubert Escott
➤ Summary:
➤ The Room is a mysterious and emotional story about a young man named Mike, who rents a small room in an old house. At first, everything seems normal, but strange things begin to happen that make him question what is real and what is not.
➤ Mike moves to a quiet town to start a new job and finds an inexpensive room in a large, old building. The landlady is polite but secretive, and the house feels cold and full of memories. On his first night, Mike begins to sense that something is unusual — the room feels alive, as if it hides a painful story from the past.
➤ He hears soft noises at night, sees shadows moving, and sometimes feels that someone is watching him. Curious and uneasy, Mike starts asking questions about the house’s history. He learns from a neighbor that a young woman once lived in that very room — she had been lonely and deeply sad, and something tragic had happened to her years before.
➤ As the days pass, the strange events grow stronger. Mike sees the reflection of a woman’s face in the mirror and feels her presence. Instead of fear, he feels compassion for her spirit. He realizes that the woman’s soul may still be trapped in the room, searching for peace and understanding.
➤ In the end, Mike decides to face his fear and talk to the spirit. Through his empathy and courage, he helps the ghost find calmness and finally rest. The room becomes warm and quiet again, as if freed from sadness.
➤ When Mike leaves the house, he feels changed — wiser, braver, and more aware of how loneliness can affect people deeply. The story closes with a mix of mystery and tenderness, showing that understanding and kindness can heal even the pain of the past.
