A Couple of Tales from the Night Shift....


           About 15 years ago we worked the 3rd shift at a convenience store....
A couple of times we would see a young man in the store , but, when we went to see if we could be of assistance ... he would vanish...!!! He looked to be in his early 20's , with sandy blond hair and wearing a beige "polo" shirt (with thin white stripes and a white collar) ...
 The one time he was facing the soda machine ... as I approached he turned and quickly "faded" away.....
 ... the other is one night an elderly man entered the store , first of all was his clothing seemed Very "out of date"... He entered and looked around in amazement ... He then stated (with a bit of an accent) "Such wonders..... Why, little Moglie  (from "Jungle Book") never saw such wonders in the cave of treasures".... and He spent a few moments looking around ... the "medications" seemed to be of particular interest to him... He even held up a common cold medication.. and stated in disbelief that "A cure for the Fever".... "what will they think of next?"... he placed the item back and bid me good evening... I came out from behind the counter and stepped outside ... there was No sign of him... not even any cars passing by at that time...
     We were just thinking on our walk who was he, and why all the "out-dated" references...???
                   Across the street was a large Graveyard... could they have come from there...???
