Novella: Room 214 1

-
(From my author note) Story time guys. I work in a hospital as a security officer. It's harder than people think it is, and one of our jobs is maintaining the morgue. Talk about a hard one and no one warns you about it during the interview process. Anyway, my lieutenant (at the time) took me up to our closed north wing on the second floor because I'd never been in there before. It looks like something from the 60s and there are locks on all the doors. Just out of curiosity, I opened the door to room 214 and looked inside and was hit by one of the most negative waves of energy I think I've ever felt in my life. I backed out quick and relocked the door. Then it was my turn to take a new officer onto the floor and the whole place felt negative, like something wanted us out of there. (end note)

That officer I took up had some paranormal experiences up in New York and was a believer. He told me a story about a patrol up on the second floor one night shift. After using the restroom he locked the door behind him and started back off the unit. He estimated he was about four rooms away when he heard a lock click behind him, followed by a door creaking open. This officer is about six foot two and probably 350 pounds as an estimate. He told me he paused briefly to debate looking behind him before he said NOPE and left as quickly as he could.

Another comment I overheard was the demolition team working on that unit when it was finally being renovated into a new surgical section. I was responsible for checking the contractors in each day and heard three of them talking about someone up on that floor. As best I remember, because I didn't write it down anywhere, they said "even with the walls down and gone, he's still here". Now, granted, I didn't ask them exactly what they were talking about, but it sounded to me like they ran into whoever was still hanging out on the closed unit.

As best I've been able to tell, room 214 is now surgical suite 2 and only the surgical team is allowed inside, which is perfectly fine with me.

Hello everyone, I’m Lexxie Scott. As you can tell from the blog’s title, I’m an author and this blog is about my books - published and in progress. I’ve been writing since I was around twelve or so, definitely seventh grade. I always had a notebook with me and would write in class once my reading, test, or other work was finished. That’s also when I created two of my characters; Tiffany and Joe Franks, along with a number of the agents they work with. Remarkably, however, they are not in the first book I published. Those stories will never see the light of day, but a few of the ideas might make their way into something more. My hope here is to talk about each book I have published, maybe share some information not in the books, and some background on the characters and locations. I’ve not had much chance to talk with my readers for my novels, and I will answer questions and comments as well, but will not respond to any flames. I write fan fiction as well (under a pen name) and am u

Tails from the Oddside 2: Point of View

*I work in a hospital as a Security Officer. One of our many and varied duties is maintaining the morgue. That is to say, we sign the deceased in and release them to the correct funeral home when the family makes their wishes known. I think that almost anyone knows hospitals are haunted. There are certain areas that are more apt for paranormal activity than others. The morgue is one of them. I was walking back to the office one morning and started wondering what the ghostly point of view is. Since I can't ask them, I came up with this.* Given the topics of the previous two novellas and some of my other works, I think it's fairly obvious I believe in ghosts. We'll go into a much deeper discussion during one of the series, but I do believe and have seen two - and possibly a ghost cat. I'm still not certain about that last one, but my cat (the only animal in the house) was with me when I saw the shape move. Our morgue really doesn't have a haunted feel to it. The

Tales from the Oddside 5: Knife to the Heart

 *It's not common for me to remember my dreams. I don't know if I just don't naturally slip into the deep sleep needed to be able to dream, or if they're fading out on me for a reason. This story here is based on a dream I had while reading about psychopaths for a novel I have in-progress. Since this dream, and one very disturbing nightmare, I've stopped reading research materials at bedtime." That in-progress novel is finished, published, and will be talked about soon. For this story, too much talking will spoil the whole thing, but it looks at what happens when an adopted phychopath is finally able he cannot have / do something he wants. It also looks at the rather chilling results.
