The Man in the Bathtub

I opened the door to the bathroom and was taken aback by what I saw in the room.
There was a bathtub in the room, unlike mine which had a shower, but the tub was full of water.
The water was at the top of the tub, threatening to spill over at any moment.
I stepped closer, still using my phone to light my way, when I noticed a dark figure in the tub.
It looked like a man. A dead man.
Shining my phone over the tub and I stared down into the still water, as if in a trance, trying to look at the dead man's face.
As my senses slowly came back to me, the man's eyes opened and he looked directly at me.
I fell back on the floor, dropping my phone and losing my light.
A splash came from the tub and I could feel cold water spilling onto the floor, soaking my clothes.
The sound of a heavy, wet footstep exited the tub. The second footstep was all the motivation I needed to get up and run!
I bolted from my room, not caring about my phone or who the man was, and ran down the hall back to the door from whence I came. I ran down the stairs, all the way down to the lobby and didn't stop until I collided with the front desk.
Breathlessly I tried to tell the clerk what I had seen and that we needed to call the police.
The clerk, who looked scared, not so much because there was a dead body in the hotel but more like he was afraid of getting fired, escorted me to the managers office behind the desk.
"Sir," the clerk tried to sound calm and reassuring, "what did you see exactly?"
I told him what I had seen and what I had heard. I showed him the wet spots on my clothing where the tub's water splashed onto me.
I didn't care if I got arrested for trespassing or causing a disturbance. I had to tell someone what happened to me.
