For a building so huge as Synergis, with a population of over two thousand inhabitants making a living, who would have known there could still be a strange story to tell; no one but us.

All the floors have been occupied except for the last floor, which is still undergoing some renovations and last touches. The fifth floor is still yet to get full to the brim before the next floor gets occupied. Other than that I have no known reason why it's still unutilized up to this time.

The elevator used to ride up the last floor until a few months ago when they had disabled the sixth button on the lift. I’ve had my chances of peeking at the deserted story one time before the walls had been built and again after they had been installed and painted. The lobby and hallways were eerily pitch dark that I never dared enter. The first time then was out of coincidence when for some unknown reasons the lift took me to that floor even if I was sure I pressed the fourth floor. It eventually skipped my floor and the view came to me. The second time was with a friend and I just dared us there. But we hid behind the doors, scared for nothing.  What a shame!

The mystery stopped until lately I discovered that the elevator had been making its stops on the sixth level without a passenger. It’s happened several times and take note, not only to me but to other inhabitants of the building as well. I even caught it more than thrice usually between midnight to three in the morning. You know how the lift only defaults to the floor where the last stop has been made and either goes up or down when the floor’s number has been pressed from the inside or when someone from that particular floor pushes the up or down button. There is literally no one assigned to that floor, not even a single guard though probably not really without a single soul.

The ground floor guard confided in me that this usually happens from one to two in the morning, as my hunch tells me. I rode it a few minutes before one in the morning today. I was at the basement waiting for the lift. It struck me when I saw the digital sign in red- it was at 6, and I was puzzled at how this could possibly happen.

No one knows how to explain it, or so I think. I’ve not been given any reliable explanation for the occurrence and I did bother to ask, but I think I did not ask hard not enough. No one knows what lies beneath the dark corners of those closed doors and empty rooms. No one knows why the lift goes to six and yet carries to visible soul up or down.

Maybe we just don’t see the passenger making its way up or down the building. Shall we open our eyes?
