I was alone working the graveyard shift in the lab. I was told by the prior shift that there was a body in the morgue located just beyond the break room.
I was minding my own business when all of a sudden I began to hear a strange sound that went “Thump! Thump! Thump!” I instantly began to freak out not knowing where the sound is coming from. It seemed to me that it was coming from the morgue area.
I was petrified but then I convinced myself to try to find out what’s making the noise. Was it someone knocking on the morgue door? I don’t even want to thinking about the body in the morgue and how it might still be alive and tried to get out.
I mustered all my courage and slowly crept back towards the break room. Lo and behold the sound was coming from the dishwasher. There was a spoon stuck in it. That’s what’s making all the thumping noise while it was being washed! Instantly, I felt relieved! I’m glad I never got my imagination get the best of me! 😀
