Two Week Notice?

by Miles Rooker

Chapter 1

To my fellow employees,
I’m very sorry if this is weird.
This job has just gotten me to my knees.
To my fellow employees,
Do not hate me for leaving, please.
But there are ghosts, as I’ve feared.
To my fellow employees,
I’m very sorry if this is weird.

There’s something wrong with Room 17.
Do you see no ghosts at all?
Please review the footage on the screen.
There’s something wrong with Room 17.
The same man twice, I thought I’ve seen.
Same room, same man, just down the hall.
There’s something wrong with Room 17.
Do you see no ghosts at all?

The man came in, booked a room, and left.
And now he’s gone without a trace.
I swear, it couldn’t have been identity theft.
The man came in, booked a room, and left.
He asked for a key that I didn’t have left.
I turned around to an empty space.
The man came in, booked a room, and left.
And now he’s gone without a trace.

If I don’t quit,
Maybe I wasn’t cut out for a midnight shift.
