@metaphysiko: I was mopping the lobby at 2:17 a.m. when the dining room light turned on. I work nights at Arby’s. The doors were locked. The parking lot was empty. The other employees had gone home an hour earlier. I stared through the glass. Nothing. I told myself the timer had malfunctioned. Then I heard it. Step. Step. Step. From the kitchen. I stopped breathing. The walk-in cooler door was open. I knew I had closed it. I walked over and pulled it shut. The second I turned around, the dining room light went off. Then the kitchen light came on. I called my manager. No answer. My phone vibrated. A text from him. DON’T GO IN THE KITCHEN. I stared at it. Another message appeared. I’M WATCHING THE CAMERAS. Then: THERE IS SOMEONE BEHIND YOU. I spun around. Nothing. The lobby was empty. I laughed once. It sounded wrong. Then I noticed the security monitor. The camera showed me standing in the lobby. Behind me was a person. Tall. Too tall. Its head nearly touched the ceiling. Its arms hung past its knees. I turned. Nothing. I looked back at the monitor. It was closer. I ran into the office and locked the door. The phone rang. My manager. I answered. His voice was barely a whisper. “Listen to me. Whatever you do, don’t let it hear you say your name.” A soft sound came from the hallway. A whisper. My name. I covered my mouth. The office handle moved. Once. Twice. Then stopped. I waited. Five minutes. Ten. Nothing. Finally, I looked at the security monitor. Every camera was empty. Except the walk-in cooler. The door was open. Inside stood the thing. It was facing the camera. Then it raised one pale hand. And pointed directly at the office. My phone vibrated. A video had arrived from my manager. I pressed play. It showed the lobby from an hour earlier. My manager was locking up. He walked out. The doors shut behind him. Then something stepped into frame. It looked exactly like me. Same uniform. Same face. It walked behind the counter. And waited. The video ended. I sat there until sunrise. Police came after my manager reported me missing. They found me in the office. They checked the cameras. They found nothing unusual. Except one thing. The last recording had been saved at 2:17 a.m. It showed me mopping the lobby. Then I stopped. Looked directly into the camera. And smiled. The officer asked why I had done that. I hadn’t. Then he showed me the timestamp. The recording was from tomorrow. #creepy #scarystories #scary #fyp #HorrorTok
