Early morning office.

It turns out that offices are very spooky in the early morning. I just started my new shift , coming in at 6 am. I had thought that there were quite a few people that came in at 6 but apparently not. I guess most people get here at 6:30 or 7:00. When I got here this morning all the lights were off. The moniters glowed eerily from the darkness, their low hum filling the depthless room. I had never heard any ghostly rumors about our building , but you never know, so I quickly flipped on all the light switches I could find. Half the room burst into cheerful brightness. I dashed over to my desk to log in. I didn't know where the switches for the other half of the room were, and the door to the break room could only be reached by going through the darkened portion of the building. The job I work is all on the phones, so I couldn't just skip getting water to have at my desk. Without it I'd be all froggy within minutes.

 Steeling myself, I chose the shortest route to the door as possible. The pleasant glow of fluorescense soon grew weak. I looked back with regret, but forged ahead. My imagination is not very nice sometimes, every cubicle I'd pass it'd almost look like there was someone there, waiting in the darkness. Just a chair... not wanting to look foolish in front of an absent audience I walked as quickly as I could without running. I have to admit I may have sprinted up the ramp to the door. Opening the door I nearly walked into a co-worker, had to bite my tongue to not let out an EEK of terror. Suddenly I was not alone any more though!! While the moniters did still seem like slightly untrustworth creatures, the room no longer seemed to loom an endless expanse. I happily made my way into the break room, looking forward to the day.
