On Saterday at 6:25 pm Eric gets a message

Rick- Hey man I was wondering if you can take my shift tonight at 9:30pm because I was throwing up all day. I am pretty sure it was the orange chicken from that chinese restaurant i went to last night.

Eric- Yea for sure ill take over the shift for you.

Rick- Thank you so much bro your the best! Ill let you know how I am feeling tomorrow hopefully good enough to go back to work.

Eric- No problamo.

Its 9:30 and Eric arrives at the office. He parks his car and walks in the building. At the main desk there is a woman named Sarah and she checks people in when they enter the building.

Sarah- Hey Eric let me guess your taking Ricks shift again.

Eric- Yea, Rick is not feeling the best he was throwing up all day sense he ate that chinese food. It was that orange chicken stuff that messed his stomach up.

Sarah- *sighs* Ok. Sign your name in.

Eric signs his name in on the sheet.

Sarah- Ok your good to go.

Eric walks in the elevator and then the door closes, and stats to go up.

When the elevator arrived at the fifth floor...

The door didnt open then he heard a loud thud on the top of the elevator. It was strange because it never acted up this way before. A few moments later the announcer on the speak said that they are having technical difficulties with the power it will be back on shortly thank you for your participation.

Four minutes later...

The power came back on and the elevator doors opened

Eric- Finally the power came back on jeez and now Ive got to cover this shift.

Eric walked out of the elevator and went to Ricks office. Eric looked around the office and saw a lot of empty reports and thought to himself jeez he has a lot of work to catch up on. I mean its Rick probably the most he does is pick his nose and throw paper air planes around the office. Eric saw a letter on the far right side of his desk. It said; Dear Rebecca I know its bad timing

but I want to talk to you about us I mean money has been tight and I want nothing but the best for you and I have not been doing my job as a boyfriend. You deserve so much better Rebecca Im so sorry that I cheated on you with your best friend Sammy. I was very drunk and wasn't thinking clearly of what so ever I was foolish to do that to the person that I love the most.

Eric- Wow Rick you really messed up on this one.

Eric put the letter down and went on the computer to do Ricks make up work. Eric thought to himself¨ dang Rick how are you not fired from your job. All Eric sees is blank work and very little done its just one short sentence per document a couple words even. While Eric is fixing the documents he hears the printer go off in the middle of the hall way. This was strange because Eric thought that he was the only one on the fifth floor. But it could be Kyle because he is the boss of the building so Eric got

up and left his station to say hi but no one was there. Eric started to get a little creeped out so he went back in his station to continue typing. A few moments later a door at the end of the hall way slowly opened and then SLAMED SHUT. Eric jumped out of the chair in panic. Then Eric stuttered

Eric- Wh-who i-i-is there!

There was no answer

Eric panicked and called security

Secutity- Hi this is west center field office security how may i help you

Eric- pl-please come to the fifth floor Im hearing doors slamming and the printer go off and no one is answering me when I called out please come and see if someone is here.

Security- Sir please calm down I am sending someone to your location right now

Eric- Thank you and please hurry!

*the phone hangs up*

About five minutes later the security shows up

Eric hears the elevator door open

Eric yells

Eric- Security is that you!?

Security- Yes. What section are you in?

Eric- I am in the left hand side of the office. The second door to the right.

Security- Ok I am on my way to you

Eric- Ok

A few moments later there was a knock on the door.

Eric jumped and turned to the door.

Eric- wh-who is there?

Security- Its security, may I come in?

Eric- Yeah- yeah come in

Security comes in the office.

Security- So you called security because... you apparently have been hearing the printer go off by its self and the door down the wall way slammed also by its self.

Eric- Yes. I called right after I called out to who ever it was and I got no answer so I got freaked out by calling security.

Security- So your telling me there is a spirit of some sort on the fifth floor.

Eric- There is something up here and I am scared for my life whatever it is, is going to harm me.

Security- Sir in all do respect there has not been a issue with any paranormal activity in this building and I have been working here for fifteen years now.

Eric- Sir all I am asking is for you to see if there is anything on this floor please.

Security- Ok I will scope out the area and I will let you know if I see anything or anyone.

Security left the room. Eric thought to himself, He thought I was going crazy

ha I would have thought the same if I worked here for so many years and no reports of any sort of paranormal activity seen nor heard from the workers or the visitors.

twenty minutes later

The security shows up at the door again and knocks

Eric- Whos there.

Security- Its security may I come in

Eric- Yes come in come in

Security- The fifth floor is clear there is no sign of anyone or anything you may proceed working

Eric- Thank god, thank you so much

Security- As I said there is no paranormal activity of any sort in this building.

Eric- I understand sir I was just scared

Security- Ok, Have a good night

Eric- Yeah you to

Security left the office then went to the elevator and left the fifth floor onto the first floor where his station is in the back of the building.

Eric thought to himself, that security guy was a jerk and basically saying that I was being delusional and paranoid but what ever I wont let it get to me. Honestly its not worth it hes probably having a rough day.

Eric continued typing the documents so Rick does not have to come back to do so much work.

A few moments later Erics phone went off, *bzzz,bzzzz,bzzzz,bzz*

It was Rick.

Eric answered the phone

Eric- Hello

Rick- Hey whats up man how is the shift?

Eric- Its alright just typing out the documents on the computer. Hows you stomach feeling?

Rick- Errrrm its a lot better than it was this morning. It felt like someone was punching me in the stomach over and over. But now that pain is finally going away.

Eric- I can only imagine the pain it must have been awful.

Rick- It was, it was pretty bad.

Eric- Rick I have a question for you

Rick-Whats up bud?

Eric- This will sound crazy but have you heard any paranormal activity here at all like the printers go off by its self and doors open and slam by there

selves.

Rick- Ummmmmm

Eric- I know how crazy it sounds but have you?

Rick- Not the six months I have been working there. But I know the printers act weird sometimes but not the doors slamming by themselves. Why?

Eric- Because I have heard the door slam and I am the only one on this floor. Plus the security guy thought that I was crazy when I told him.

Rick- Was the security guy named Jim?

Eric- Im not sure

Rick- Was he bald

Eric- Yes how did you know

Rick- Its because he doesnt believe anyone with his egg head

Eric- Right hahahaha

Rick- Is there any more weird things going on at the office.

Eric- No nothing else but the door and the printer.

Rick- I can come over there if you want me to keep you company

Eric- No no no no. You need your rest

Rick- Are you sure bro because I can head over there

Eric- Yea man Im sure but thanks though

Rick- No problem man. I hope everything gets better and call me if you need or want to talk about anything ok bro

Eric- thanks bro. Good night.

Rick- Your welcome dude. Good night.

When the phone call ended Eric rubbed his eyes and checked the time it is 10:30pm and the shift ends at 12am.

Eric- Man I got to get back typing before the shift ends.

A few minutes pass and then....

Erics phone buzzes, bzzzzzz bzzz bzz bzzzzz

He picks up the phone. It was a message from a unknown number and it was picture of down the hall from him. At the same door that opened and slammed. Eric was stunned by the photo and stared at it for a few moments until he heard the printer go off in the hall way again.

Eric- What is going on?! Why is this happening to me?!

Then the light above him is flickering on, off, on ,off ,on, off, on, off, on then shut off. The room was pitch black Eric could not see a thing. From down the hall from him there was foot steps slowly getting faster, faster, FASTER! To the door. Eric hid under the desk crying. Then there was silence. Everything was quite then all of a sudden there was three slow knocks on the door revealingly then it got louder and louder, and LOUDER!

Eric- GO AWAY!!!!

It suddenly stopped. Then his phone rang bzzzz,bzzzz,bzz,bzz, Eric answered the phone in fear.

Eric- H-hello

Unknown- *slow deep breaths*

Eric- Who is this

Unknown hangs up the call, Eric says to himself. Why is this happening to me someone please tell me. What did I do wrong god please tell me thats all I want. Then Eric yells

Eric- WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?!?

There was no response

Eric- YOU BETTER ANSWER ME RIGNT N-

Before Eric can finish his sentence the door flew open then the office chair slowly moved to the side of the wall.
