HORROR STORY

The story took place some time back and revolved around a young lad
named Sam. Sam at that time was working as a programmer, in a small IT
company located in Singapore. During one particular working day, the
whole of Sam's company was requested to work OT in order to meet a
deadline due tomorrow. By the time everything was done, it was already
past 1 am and Sam was the last person left in the office. He was left
wondering whether there were still any bus services at this hour. He
decided to try his luck and quickly tidied up the office, locked up
and rushed towards the bus stop. The bus stop was situated by a small
narrow road with dense forestation surrounding the area. Sam waited
for about 20 minutes and was about to make his way to the main road to
catch a cab when a double deck bus appeared from nowhere. He
hesitantly waved it down, boarded the bus and the only person he saw
on the same bus was a frail ghastly looking old woman. The old woman
was dressed in white attire. Sam felt uneasy upon seeing her and was
about to go up to the upper deck when a voice ranged out in Cantonese,
"Young man, don't go upstairs. upstairs dangerous." It was the old
woman.

Her comment sent a chill through Sam's bones and he figured that the
upper deck might be "dirty".He decided to heed the old woman's advice
and grab a seat at the lower deck even though he felt uncomfortable by
her presence. It was an agonizing 20 minutes journey before Sam
reached his bus stop. He quickly alighted and turned to steal a quick
glance at the old woman, who stared right back at him by the window.
Without further ado, Sam hastened his pace and was fortunate to reach
home safely.

The next day, Sam was requested to work OT and ended up being the last
person left in the office again. It was already past midnight and Sam
was contemplating whether to take a cab home but decided against it in
the end as money was tight. So he made his way to the bus stop again
and after about 20 minutes, the same double deck bus appeared. Sam
boarded the bus and saw the same old woman again. He decided to go to
the upper deck again when the old woman called out to him, "Young man,
don't go upstairs. Upstairs dangerous." Even though, he heard it
before, he still felt a certain fear inside him. To be on the safe
side, he reluctantly took a seat at the lower deck again and reached
home with no incidents.

The third day, Sam was asked to do OT again. By now he was feeling
readed and worried as he didn't want to repeat the same process again.
But he obliged nevertheless since it's his livelihood. He was, you
guessed it, the last person left in the office again. He made the same
journey to the bus stop, occasionally checking his back as he walked.
The double deck bus arrived, he boarded it and saw the same old woman
again. As he proceeded to go upstairs, the old woman warned him again,
"Young man, don't go upstairs. Upstairs dangerous." Sam was fed up
with the old woman by now and decided to go upstairs even though he
was feeling a bit scared. He saw no one else when he reached the upper
deck and slowly made his way to the back of the bus and sat down.
Sam's heart began pounding away as he waited anxiously for something
to happen. After 20 minutes, with nothing happening, Sam went
downstairs to confront the old woman and asked her why she kept saying
it's dangerous upstairs. The old woman turned, stared at him and
replied, "Young man, don'to upstairs. Upstairs dangerous. Upstairs got
no bus driver."
