The Guy In Room 302
It’s the summer, and you’re out of your college classes for at least a week or two, before the next semester starts. You’ve spent this time lounging around, and sleeping a lot. But lately, correspondence between your local friends has dropped off. They don’t drop by. Your phone’s been quiet for awhile, and your IM lists are all empty.
After five days of this, you’ve gotten bored enough to try chatrooms. They’re all empty; even the big ones. Any e-mails you send get no replies.
When you leave your apartment, the whole of the building is unearthly silent. The only noise that comes about at all is the whurr from the automated Rail outside. Nobody answers when you knock. All the buildings are dark and locked up when you look out the window; the only cars are of the parked variety.
A search of the entire building, and even further beyond that, yeilds nothing. No life; the only movement is from the wind, or the automated peices of machinary. Defeated, you slink back into the empty apartment complex.
On your door is pinned a note:
“Turns out the guy in room 302 really could sleep through the end of the world.”
The note is dated five days ago.

Woah. I remember going through something terribly similar to this! Apart from the undead serial killer and hole in my bathroom, I know exactly what this poor bugger is going through! Poor guy. I feel for him.

who can leave a note if it’s the end of the world?

AHA. That made me laugh really hard. Not so much creepy as it is funny. But I like it.

Easy, the one who ended the world Meg.

lol @ henry townshend.

Lol! I was thinking of Silent Hill 4 too! xD

yeah, the logic is completely lacking in this one (why not just wake the dude up if you’re going to leave a note anyhow), but i still dig it.

Shit, that’s going to be me.

“why not just wake the dude up if you’re going to leave a note anyhow”
Maybe they tried.

Lmao, I love the reference to Silent Hill. Same room number and everything.

Good one, I actually wouldn’t mind it too much at first. Though my hand would be my only companion through the ages.
July 18th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
Haha, at least I’m not the only one that thought of Silent Hill…

who dates notes pinned to doors? u usually just say what u have to say and that’s it. especially the extranneous ones

Story makes no fucking sense. How does he still have power, internet, etc? Why were there no signs of “the end of the world” except the lack of people and a dated note?
I liked it at first but when you start thinking about it, it completely breaks down.

Yay I survived xD

@14
*All* the good creepypastas break down when you think about them.
Just like most good stories, in movies, video games, theatre, and the like, all break down if you apply real-0world logic to them.
Same concept.

i agree with comment 14
how was stuff still working? i didn’t break it down or really think about it, the second i was done i was just…meh.
this makes u wonder what the end of the world was then, if it was only people disappearing but everything else still functioning.
this was ok, and i’ll leave it at that

September 24th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
WHO WAS NOTE?!
September 24th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
Lawl, Silent Hill 4

@18: If they sleep through it too, then how would they leave a note?
Or perhaps the causer of the end of the world left the note to mock him - like the Devil or whatever.
Makes you think what the end of the world actually was.

What could just make all life on earth vanish, save for one guy in room 302…? Interesting.
