Don't Turn on the Light
retold by S.E. Schlosser
She commandeered the room in the basement of her dorm as soon as she realized she would have to pull an all-nighter in order to prepare for tomorrow’s final exam. Her roommate, Jenna, liked to get to bed early, so she packed up everything she thought she would need and went downstairs to study . . . and study . . . and study some more.It was two o’clock, when she realized that she’d left one of the textbooks upstairs on her bed. With a dramatic sigh, she rose, and climbed the stairs slowly to her third-floor dorm room.
The lights were dim in the long hallway, and the old boards creaked under her weary tread. She reached her room and turned the handle as softly as she could, pushing the door open just enough to slip inside, so that the hall lights wouldn’t wake her roommate.
The room was filled with a strange, metallic smell. She frowned a bit, her arms breaking out into chills. There was a strange feeling of malice in the room, as if a malevolent gaze were fixed upon her. It was a mind trick; the all-nighter was catching up with her.
She could hear Jenna breathing on the far side of the room—a heavy sound, almost as if she had been running. Jenna must have picked up a cold during the last tense week before finals.
She crept along the wall until she reached her bed, groping among the covers for the stray history textbook. In the silence, she could hear a steady drip-drip-drip sound. She sighed silently. Facilities would have to come to fix the sink in the bathroom…again.
Her fingers closed on the textbook. She picked it up softly and withdrew from the room as silently as she could.
Relieved to be out of the room, she hurried back downstairs, collapsed into an overstuffed chair and studied until six o’clock. She finally decided that enough was enough. If she slipped upstairs now, she could get a couple hours’ sleep before her nine o’clock exam.
The first of the sun’s rays were beaming through the windows as she slowly slid the door open, hoping not to awaken Jenna. Her nose was met by an earthy, metallic smell a second before her eyes registered the scene in her dorm room. Jenna was spread-eagled on top of her bed against the far wall, her throat cut from ear to ear and her nightdress stained with blood. Two drops of blood fell from the saturated blanket with a drip-drip noise that sounded like a leaky faucet.
Scream after scream poured from her mouth, but she couldn’t stop herself any more than she could cease wringing her hands. All along the hallway, doors slammed and footsteps came running down the passage.
Within moments other students had gathered in her doorway, and one of her friends gripped her arm with a shaking hand and pointed a trembling finger toward the wall. Her eyes widened in shock at what she saw. Then she fainted into her friend’s arms.
On the wall above her bed, written in her roommate’s blood, were the words: “Aren’t you glad you didn’t turn on the light?”

Posted by: satender singh | June 9, 2010 11:15 AM
It really wasn't scary. Well the girl who found Jenna would have been but I wasn't. And they saved the scary part 'till the very end.It really wasn't an "on the edge of your seat" story because the part before the scary part wasn't the slightest bit scary so you would think that it's not gonna be scary so you'd stop reading it. Well that's just what I think.
Posted by: brooklyn | June 11, 2010 02:05 AM

Um.. Sorry but this is a rip off from a different story, its really nice, but the differences are, in the original, it was a girl who went out for a party with her friends, but forgot her jacket in her dorm. However, her friend was sleeping for he had an exam the next morning. Since she didnt wanna wake him up, she quietly moved through the room and got her jacket, then left. Later that night she returned to find cops covering her place. Shocked she went inside to find blood, everywhere. Her room mate was slashed open from head to toe on the couch. A near by cop asked her, where was she last night? She explained she was out, but only came back to get her jacket around nine, but she didnt turn the lights on for he was asleep. They said that was about the time he was killed. Horrified she asked was there any evidence who would have done this? They answered, No only a note. On the bathroom mirror, spread in his blood, was a message. "Aren't you glad you didnt turn on the lights?"

This was not "off a movie" or an episode of a TV show, either. Urban Legends, the movie, was based on urban legends, like this one. "Supernatural" gets storylines from urban legends and ghost stories, like this one. The stories--in several versions--were around long before the movie and TV show.

Wait, so who killed the girl's friend? I thought that if she had turned on the light that something bad would happen to her as well. I didn't want her to go to the room because I thought that whatever presence she felt the first time would still be there and get her next.

I wonder who killed Jenna. Hmm..
Posted by: Karen | January 19, 2011 10:20 AM
This is the same story as the Hookman. He'd cut peoples throats like that and then would write "aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light?" in the blood of his victims. I learned from "Supernatural" :D good story though.

Posted by: cool person | April 3, 2011 01:17 PM
on the first day of 3rd grade, i was walking down the hall and i was looking at the wall so when i looked in front of me there was this girl. she said hi to me then she said bye. then, her face turned all bloody and wrinkly and she dissapeered. so i screamed and everyone came running and i tried to tell them what happened but they didn't belive me. sooooooooo i got suspended. wich is good for me because i hate school.

Posted by: Alex | June 28, 2011 06:19 PM
What was happening to Jenna while she was heavily breathing, was she being cut at that moment or did she see what was trying to kill her or had she already been cut and dying ?
Posted by: Anonymous | June 30, 2011 09:27 AM
