I Fucking hate being forced to pull a double cause some asshat didn't show up, Lewis should know that by now but he says nobody else is picking up their phones and he tossed me the vending machine keys and says good night. I Hope he knows I'm going to kill the energy drinks before the sun comes up I go get a drink and put the keys in my office, Its been awhile since I worked third so he gave me a list third is usually worked in groups of 3 but seeing thats its just me I got my hands full all night, First I need to go into the storage warehouse and organize the stocked products, after that I need to file the paperwork into the database for the first shift pricks and lastly open up the security office and do patrol since even that piece of shit didnt show. I Mutter fucking hell, I open the security office early to do a patrol around the site with what little sunlight is left so I grab Hanks double barrel and 2 boxes of shells because bears like craawling over out fences and it takes alot to put one down if need be, I check the front gate where Lewis sits in his truck smoking I flip him the bird and continue around to the left where a chilling breeze hits my hands I keep the gun in my hands at all times but man that shit stings. About 10 mins go by and I found a large hole near the back right Fence pole its huge how did nobody see it today zach was here for second shift but left an hour ago and he's on everyones ass about doing stuff by the book, that jackass must've seen this shit on his patrol I sigh and finish up and head back inside too bad lewis was gone I would have pulled his ass back there before he left oh fucking well.

I Start organizing the Shelves I find it peaceful in the warehouse so time flies while I work. I feel a crisp draft while working catching me off guard I grab the shotty off my desk and load 2 shells in while I go find the source of the cold air, I front door was wide open and the sky has grayed and snow begins to fall, it is about that time of the year but it was was like 80 this morning the wind starts picking up so I close the door and bolt it shut heading back to work its about 2 in the morning. When I hear a loud thud on the wearhouses roof it wasnt a soft one either this must've been a big ass bird that was caught out in the Cold and froze mid flight cause that thud was lout as fuck it scared the fuck outta me I head to top floor where the offices overlook the property and the roof of the warehouse but the Blizzard was fierce I couldn't see 5 feet do to all the snow. I Finish up my work around 4in the morning when I feel another cold breeze enter the building I quickly hear over to see the door open and these were bolted shut so the were either opened up with a key or opened up from the inside.

The thought of that sends an Icy chill through my spine How long have I not been alone, when I first close the door? or back when I went on patrol last night? I load the Shotgun and slowly go to my office to grab my keys to get the fuck out of there, we had cameras everywhere in the building I could go check them but staying here any longer is fucking insane I get to my office when I hear a blood curdling scream. I Can't tell if its an animal of not so I grab the keysand haul ass to the front door I open the door to feel a strong rush of cold seep into the building as I push threw to my truck, It takes a few turns to start the bastard up but she was purring like a cat when I slammed the gas pedel flying through our front gate which was just a chain linked fence and the I feel my truck Clip something so I grab the gun and step out only to see Lewis' Pickup with its driver side door shredded to ribbons, the window looked to be clawed out and and guts were spilled alover the inside making my puke at the sight I stumble back into my truck and floor it into the Storm straight to the Police Station.
