Stop by in convenience store

Friday, 21st day of the month of January 2022. Hello hello there my fellow readers and writers Its me once again your lazy writer lazysnail. I'm so sorry for missing an article yesterday. I have more important things to do, and that is my study. I wake up in 6:00 o'clock to prepare myself for classes. Start from 7:30 am we had our online classes and it ended in 10:00 in the morning. After that we had a classes at 10:30am which quickly ended at 12:00 am. I just simply take a rest and because I have like 4 hours free time I did some of my homeworks and activities so that my weekend schedule will be lessened and that I wouldn't hassle much. After 4 hours of doing assignments I have classes at 5:00 pm which ended at 9:00 pm. My professors right now are on the mood to teach even though we should be in asynchronous type of classes but that's okay than having nothing to do.

Yesterday, while scrolling in facebook. A friend of mine talk to me and he tell me a story which is also being told to him by his another friend. This is about the convenience store 7-11 and it's Crew. Here's the story I heard from him

Mark is 18 years old and he is a working student. He is studying at daylight and has work as a crew in midnight starting 11:00pm and end at 4:00 in the morning. He get used to that schedule because he is a working student for like 2 years. But it's his first 2 months in the convenience store in 7-11 store. He's manager is the one that assigned him at night shift because they adjust it his classes and only few people is entering the store at that time so he could have more rest and do some of his activities if there's no costume enter the store.

One midnight, everything seems alright, mark took a nap because it's been like 30 minutes that no one is entering the store. He can freely asleep because there's a guard infront of the store. At 1:30 am the guard enter the store and mark immediately wake up. He saw the guard took bottle of water and foods in the store. The guard then went to the cashier and pay for the fee. Everything seems normal until the guard started to talk to him.

Guard: it's quite busy right now in here huh?

Mark: (with the confusion in the face) huh? What do you mean?

Guard: (guard laugh) look there's a lot of costumers right now.

Mark: what?, Where? I see none.

Guard: oww, you can't see them?

The guard tap the should of mark. After that mark close his eyes and when he opened he saw a bunch of people, sitting, talking to each other, eating, and doing a lot of things. Mark is shocked because he didn't saw them earlier. Then the guard told him.

Guard: be aware, they're not human being but a ghost. Look they're just barefooted. Because they're ghost.

Mark cannot speak a word. The guard left him and went to his post. Mark is just staring at them, he saw a child, elderly, aged people. His heart is beating loudly but slowly he could hear his own heartbeat. When mark blink his eyes slowly, he saw all the ghost look at him. Like they know that they can be seen by mark. Mark blink for another time and when he does, all the ghost is gone from his sight and he saw one familiar faces which is wearing a slippers. Mark finally calm down. It's Roy. Roy buy a cup of coffee and talk for a little bit to mark .

Roy: supp?

Mark: nothing new.

Roy: isn't lonely in here being alone in this store at this time of night?

Mark: nahhh, I'm with the...

Mark look at where the guard is, but he can't see him. Even his shadow.

Roy: aight imma go now! I have something to do.

Mark: okayy stay safe, thank you for coming.

Mark then confused again for like whole night, he's waiting for the guard to return. No one enter the store after roy. At morning he then talk to one of his friends about where their guard is. His friends told him that they don't have a guard for like one week because he is sucked and needed to take a long rest. His friends knows what has mark experience and talk about it for a while.

Closing Thoughts

His friends told him, that what Mark has saw that night are the Ghost of the dead. His friend even blame the people who went for stop in the convenience store after they went in the funeral so that the ghost will be shake off and not follow them in their home. As a result many ghost has been stucked in the store. Starting that night, Mark get used in seeing ghost at his shift, he is first looking at their feet to identify if they're alive.
