The sewing machine

Peter arrived at the apartment of his dreams, after months of saving he found a rent that could pay and the best thing was that it was near the university.

For the first few weeks Peter noticed strange things, in the evenings he heard the faucet from the open sink and doors closing. One night I hear a sewing machine in the living room from his room.

Each day intensified the noise and began to see shadows, this frightened him so much that he began to sleep with the lights on.

Peter's nerves were broken, but he could not move, he had no money for another rent, and at the student residence he had been assigned his room to another student.

When Peter returned from studying, about midnight, I heard a deafening scream that lifted him from the frightened bed, ran to the living room and saw a figure of bloody ghostly woman sitting in front of a sewing machine, the woman looked at him and his eyes chills pierced his body.

Peter managed to run to the door and fled the apartment never to return.
