Luka

Susan was a first-year university student. Her major was English. She just moved into a new room. Her room was on the first floor of an old apartment. She thought the building look creepy, but it's not expensive. 

One evening, she saw a small note tucked into the door of her room. She opened the letter. It said:

 

Susan was shocked to hear about Luka. She would like to help her. She wrote a letter to her. It said:

 

Susan went to the police and reported Luka’s problem to them. The next day the police came into the building. Luka’s step father was arrested and sent to jail. Luka and her mother moved to another city.

Two months later, Susan received a letter from Luka.
