🧠 La Puerta del Cuarto 103 🚪

Daniel llegó al viejo hotel de montaña buscando un poco de paz. El recepcionista le entregó la llave y le advirtió con una sonrisa incómoda: “Evite mirar por la mirilla de la puerta del cuarto 103”. Daniel, intrigado, subió las escaleras y, al llegar a su habitación, no pudo evitar fijarse en la puerta mencionada, que estaba justo frente a la suya. La mirilla parecía un ojo negro que lo observaba. Trató de ignorarlo, pero su curiosidad crecía con cada minuto.

A medianoche, incapaz de resistirse, se acercó sigilosamente y miró por la mirilla. Al otro lado solo vio una habitación vacía y completamente blanca. Pero cuando apartó el ojo, sintió un escalofrío: alguien lo observaba desde detrás. Se giró bruscamente, pero no había nadie. Al volver a mirar por la mirilla, vio una silueta alta y delgada, con ojos completamente rojos. Retrocedió y corrió a su cama, convencido de que todo era su imaginación.

Por la mañana, fue a la recepción y le contó lo ocurrido al recepcionista. Este palideció. “¿Dijo que vio ojos rojos?”, preguntó. Daniel asintió. El recepcionista tragó saliva y le dijo: “Esa habitación… está cerrada desde hace diez años, desde que un huésped desapareció dejando esa misma descripción”. Daniel se quedó helado y, al girarse para marcharse, notó una cosa más: la llave de su habitación ya no estaba en su bolsillo, sino sobre el mostrador… junto a una pequeña nota que decía: "Te veo esta noche".
