[LIVE — Road to 100K: Day 23]

Chappie stared into the camera for a few seconds before clearing his throat. Usually, he would open with some stupid joke, greet the first viewers, complain about the algorithm, anything to keep the silence from lasting too long. Tonight, he didn't.

“Okay. Before anyone asks—no, this wasn't planned.”

He reached off-screen and placed a small object on the desk.

It looked like an old brass key. Long, thin, and badly tarnished. A strip of faded red thread was tied around its handle.

“I found this yesterday.”

His fingers hovered over it without touching.

“At the haunted house.”

A nervous laugh escaped him.

“I know what you're thinking. Yes, I brought a camera. Yes, I thought it'd make good content. And yes, I was expecting some guy in a rubber mask to jump out at me.”

His eyes shifted briefly toward the hallway behind him.

“But this wasn't part of the attraction.”

Chappie turned the key over. There was something engraved on the other side.

ROOM 17 — DO NOT OPEN AFTER MIDNIGHT

“The problem is…” He swallowed. “There was no Room 17.”

The chat began to move faster.

Chappie looked at the screen, then back at the key.

“And last night, at exactly 12:17 AM, someone knocked on my apartment door.”

Three slow knocks came from somewhere outside his room.

Chappie froze.

Then he looked directly into the camera.

“...That's the first time it's happened while I'm live."
