Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Wednesday One Shots, the series where we

bring you a bonus story to get you through that midweek slump.

This week we have a story by an author named Lee.

I'm a 24 year old female that works as a front desk agent for a hotel right off of a

major highway.

Needless to say, I've had my fair share of interactions with creeps and weirdos checking

in and out of that place.

I usually worked the second shift or third shift, but on this particular day I covered

for the girl who was supposed to work first.

I was tending to the breakfast buffet as well as running the front desk so I was fairly

busy as not many workers were scheduled to work at that time.

As I was in the kitchen area, refreshing the coffee, I heard a ding at the front desk.

It was from the bell that I left out for guests that needed to get my attention if I stepped

away from the desk.

I stopped what I was doing and I walked to the door that leads to the desk.

The door had a keypad that required a combination to unlock and open the door.

The combination was only known by the employees.

As I was trying to put in the combination, I felt like somebody was breathing on my neck.

It startled me so I turned around.

A short older man was right behind me.

My nearly jumped out of my skin as I said, oh I'm sorry, give me a moment.

A go around to the front desk and I'll be right there.
