Tomorrow

[BOREDFOREVER]

I'm a little freaked right now, and I'm not quite sure how to proceed.  I just got off the night shift, and I'm only running off a few hours sleep, so sorry if this is jumbled up.

I guess if you don't already know, I'm doing night security at a big theatre venue.  I'm the only one there from 12 to 7 am, when the first employees arrive.  It's my job to walk around and make sure all the doors are locked and no one has snuck in or tried to break in.

It's a little creepy sometimes, but I don't really believe in ghosts or anything like that, and I have a side-arm to take care of anything else.

Well, we got to talking about Shakespeare on here the other night, and it reminded me of an old theatre superstition that you're not supposed to say "Macbeth" on a stage.  You have to call it the "scottish play."  I was in the stagehouse trying to explain this to one of the workers the other day without saying Macbeth.

I'm not superstitious so I went ahead and said it and explained it to him, then took off for the day. This was Saturday morning.

Sunday morning, around three, I was doing my rounds when I got to the stage backdoor and I thought I heard some whispering, the door was locked and no alarms had gone off, so I checked the outside area and couldn't find anything, so I took off and wrote it off as the wind or something.

Monday morning, at around three am, I was doing a round, and I went to check that same door.  When I grabbed the handle to tug on it, I froze.  I heard the whispering again, except this time I could make out "tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" and then silence. The door was still secure, and once again no alarms had gone off.  It was weird, but I thought maybe it was just air coming through the door when I tugged on it matched with an over active imagination from being isolated at night.

Except ealry this morning at about three am the same thing "Tomorrow and tomorrow," and then silence.

What should I do?

Tonight...

You.

[Silverhawk79]

Get ready to mace some ghost's ninny ass.

[ThePowerOfOne]

Ghosts are vagina-ys. All they do is whisper and flicker lights.

[Macawmoses]

Challenge it to a Shakespeare off.

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow is my personal piece for any audition, and iirc it's one of yours. Whatever it is probably will be outclassed by you and "play the Roman fool."

It's your imagination, though you tell yourself you don't believe in the superstition, you do believe it, even if you only believe it a little bit, though since you avoided saying it originally, it seems it's not too little. Anyway, you're freaking yourself out by slightly believing it, first night maybe was real wind, deep in your mind the thought "OH SHIT, AM I CURSED 'CAUSE I SAID MACBETH?!" probably occurred. Now your mind is playing with you, so you are hearing it again, and until you finally convince yourself that the superstition isn't real (and you have to actually do it, not just say you did it while the back of your head says "BUT WHAT IF IT'S REAL?! D=") and that ghosts aren't real, you will most likely hear it again.

Either that or someone is playing a prank on you.

If I were in your situation, every night, I'd get on the stage, and whisper "Macbeth," then convince myself nothing happened. Every night getting louder until I scare myself to death and eventually actually convince myself that it's a stupid superstition and isn't real.

i'd personally go for another quote rather that something from shakespeare

so i'd go and carry a wine glass with me and whenever i hear something i yell "WHAT IS A MAN" and throw it at where ever i heard it from
ghosts will be dumping some ectoplasm and will get the intercourse  out of there

[BOREDFOREVER]

Fuck.  Fuuuck.  I just got a good chewing by my supervisor, who had to come out here at the buttcrack of dawn.

Last night I was doing my rounds again, and once again at three I went to check the door.  As soon as I grabbed the handle, I heard someone whisper "tomorrow." Well, the door was locked, but you can still pull it open just enough to get a peek inside.  I did and I saw something I dunno a shadow or something moving in there in the dark.  I started jerking on the door trying to get it open and get whoever was inside.  The vebue is supposed to be secure and empty at night.  I couldn't get the door open but I heard the alarm go off.  I kept trying for a few more minutes but finally gave up and ran around and checked the doors in adjacent buildings but they were all still locked too.

The facility supervisor got the alarm call and came out to see what was up and called my supervisor out as well.  They did a sweep of the building and found nothing.  Tjen the facility super watched the camera footage and said that no one is on camera for the night except for me.  The footage shows me wildly jerking on the door and I guess I was the one that set off the alarm. They see no one else entering or leaving the building, and no other alarms were triggered.

The facility super locked everything back up and took off.  My supervisor told me I looked like poop like I haven't slept for a couple of days and to go home and get some sleep.

He then told me I better fix my poop and not make him look like such an idiot.  I just told him I heard something and saw something inside, nothing else about all this.  He told me that this was the only post he had available for me and that if I intercourse ed up again I'd be done working for him.

But there was something in there.  It doesn't matter if I've been sleeping or hearing whispers.  I know what I saw.  Something or somebody is intercourse ing with me. 

I don't want to come back again tonight but I can't afford to lose this job and I think if I try to call in I will.

But there was something in there.

[Gwen Khan]

it was nothing more then your mind playing tricks on you

[JrDude]

Possibly your shadow?
If you can see through it, it seems believable that you can make a shadow appear there.
There are a bunch of weird possibilities on what it could have been.

There also is a possibility that you have scarred yourself enough to have gone technically crazy and are hallucinating.

[TheDarkChief]

inb4 no one realizes that this will turn out to be a story other than me

[BOREDFOREVER]

Tongiht

The door handle is warm and the dooor is unlucked.  I can hear people inside whispering and I have to go in its my job and I can't afford another intercourse  up so I have to go in. Something is off way off because my first sets of patrols the door was locked and its cold as intercourse  outside and there is no way that handle should be hot.

They keep whispering and eveb though I walked away from the door ican still hear them just as loud like they're right behind me over my shoulder but I can't make out the words.

I wrote a note to I dunno why but I wrote a note because I felt like I should tell somebody but I don't want to tell anybody if I don't have to What would theysay?

[JrDude]

You writing a scary novel?
Without the scary?
