[wind blowing] [rain falling] [gentle music] I used to work as a security guard for a small warehouse in my city.
It was an overnight job, which wasn't ideal, but it paid really well in comparison to other similar gigs.
Though the warehouse itself wasn't too big or impressive, the company that owned it sold expensive tech items, so I guess it was necessary to have the building under surveillance 24/7.
My job was nothing more than watching the cameras, walking around, and very rarely filling out reports.
This night it was raining heavily with occasional thunder as well.
Honestly, although it was a bit of a creepy ambiance, it was nights like these that I felt more laid back knowing that nobody would be going out.
I got in and talked to the closing shift workers as they left, having the warehouse to myself from 10:30 PM to 6:00 AM.
Usually, the building was really quiet with only a bit of creaking, but with the rain crackling down on the roof, it was almost impossible to hear anything else.
[thunder rumbling] About two hours in, I took a break from staring at the camera footage and got up to walk around the building for a typical security check.
I went all the way down to the far end where most of the actual storage section of the warehouse was, then started walking to the other end, but a soft beeping sound began echoing through the hallway.
[alarm beeping] It was an alert coming from the security room.
I walked quickly over and checked it, seeing that it was a latch sensor on the back door, which meant that someone tried to open it.
I opened up the live camera feed that covered that door, but nobody was out there.
After a minute, I went to the back door myself to take a look at it, thinking maybe the sensor was faulty or that the rain had messed with something.
I disabled the alarm and opened the door, then glanced around, seeing nothing but an empty alleyway behind the warehouse.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
[thunder rumbling] The door itself looked fine, though.
I mean, I was no expert on it, but I ran it through the test, and it never misfired or failed to detect the latch.
I looked around once more before shutting and locking it.
Unfortunately, despite me not seeing anyone or anything, I still had to file an entire report on the incident due to the alarm showing up in the system, so I got back to the security office and started filling out the paperwork.
Only a couple minutes in, a thud echoed through the entire building.
[thud echoes] I jumped up and stared down the hallway, unsure of exactly where the sound came from or what it was.
I left the room and stood in the hallway, listening for any more sounds, but didn't hear anything aside from the rain hitting the roof.
I walked cautiously across the building, looking at the shelves for any fallen boxes or noticeable damage, but as I got closer to the front of the building, the sound of the rain started to get louder.
I rounded the corner and stopped in place as I looked across the warehouse.
