I check into small hotel a few kilometres from evergreen county. It is late. I am tired. I tell the woman at the desk that I want a room. She tells me my room number and gives me the key.

"But one more thing comrade; there is one room without number and is always locked. Don't even peek in there."

I take key and go to room to sleep. Night comes and I hear trickling of water. It comes from the room across. I cannot sleep so I open door. It is coming from room with no number. I pound on the door. No response. I look in keyhole. I see nothing except red. Water still trickling.

I go down to front desk to complain.
"By the way who is in that room?" She look at me and begin to tell story. There was woman in there. Murdered by her husband. Skin all white, except her eyes,

which were red.
