Summary

In a fading mining town in New Mexico, the old Econo Lodge was the kind of place everyone knew—sun-bleached, rundown, and filled with stories no one wanted to admit were true. As kids, the hotel’s locked third floor was nothing more than a dare. But years later, when he and a group of thrill-seeking teens explored the abandoned property at midnight, the rumors proved themselves horrifyingly real.

A little girl’s shadow—solid, detailed, unmistakably human—watched them from a dark hallway before melting out of sight. It was the kind of sighting you try to explain away… until someone else tells you they saw her too.

He never went back. The building is gone now. But whatever lived on that third floor? It didn’t disappear with the demolition. Some stories cling to the living—and some shadows follow.
