Strange Encounter With Lt. Abigail Sinclair
I sat on the desk of the office of "The Morgue of St. Agnes Hospital", My work shift began and the night slowly dragged on,
Eagerly I waited for the morn,
It was around 1 AM, when I heard footsteps in the corridor,
I got up and looked to see who was there,
I saw a svelte lady officer, with fair complexion and dark hair,
She smiled at me and said, "Mr. Anderson, I need access to the morgue"
I scrambled to find the keys of the room and led the lady inside the morgue,
She thanked me with another enchanting smile and asked the keys for locker 13,
I handed the keys and waited beside her,
She turned and said, "Thank you Sir, I can handle it from here"
I left the room and waited outside, on my desk in the corridor,
The lady came out after an hour, thanking me handed over the keys,
She signed the register with a pen,
I stole a glance to have a last look at her,
Once she left, I took the register ,
To see the name written there,
It read "Lt. Abigail Sinclair",
Wow! What a beautiful name it was, The hours passed, it was about 6 AM, I again heard footsteps in the corridor,
To my surprise, I saw another batch of officers, hurrying towards me, They greeted me and asked me to lead them to the morgue,
Asked me to open locker 13 for investigating murder of an officer by a killer rogue,
I told them that few hours ago a lady officer had also come by,
I told them she was beautiful and fair and went by the name Lt. Abigail Sinclair,
They looked at me with such a gaze,
As if I was speaking out of craze,
Politely one of them said,"It can't be Sir, you might have mistaken"
"We are here to look into the murder of Lt. Sinclair"
I swore to them of what I said, I even brought the register,
On row 18, the name it read, was Lt. Abigail Sinclair,
The officers, asked me to come inside and open locker 13,
They said someone had played a prank on me,
Cause Lt. Sinclair was long dead and so couldn't have come by here,
I stuck vehemently to what I said,
Told them I saw her, how can she be dead?
Let's go and check locker 13,
If she was dead she would be there in,
I opened the locker and pulled it out,
Turned white in horror and let out a shout,
Inside the locker lay the body of a svelte lady,
Hair was dark, complexion was fair, the lady was Lt. Abigail Sinclair,
What happened next I couldn't recount,
Friends say I was in coma and seven days had past,
Shaken by the encounter,
I left the job of morgue at last,
Chills run through my spine whenever I think of that night,
Close my eyes in terror and to open them, I cannot dare,
The night when I met dead lady Lt. Abigail Sinclair.
