Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: Should we really let the newbetick night shift on our own,
- 0:08Speaker 1: isn't it?
- 0:09Speaker 2: I scoffed inwardly as my coworkers talked about me behind
- 0:12Speaker 2: my back.
- 0:12Speaker 3: Again.
- 0:13Speaker 2: I had really only gone to the loo, But there
- 0:16Speaker 2: they were, chatting as if I had left the place completely.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Didn't they realize just how loud they were? I can
- 0:23Speaker 2: handle myself just fine. I might have been new to
- 0:27Speaker 2: this particular burger king, but I had manned the night
- 0:30Speaker 2: shift down the road in another chain for a year prior.
- 0:33Speaker 2: I could handle a drunk group or two heck on
- 0:36Speaker 2: my nights off. I was part of the drunk groups.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Oh Eve, sorry.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Jeremiah was a lanky kid, younger than me but already
- 0:45Speaker 2: a manager. He had a forgettable face and eyes that
- 0:48Speaker 2: constantly rested on my chest.
- 0:51Speaker 3: You want more cash?
- 0:52Speaker 2: Is that it split the shift with the unknowing newcomer
- 0:55Speaker 2: or something? Were you expecting me to pay you to
- 0:58Speaker 2: stay with me or something? Perhaps I was a bit mean,
- 1:01Speaker 2: but I was quite used to this behavior. After all,
- 1:04Speaker 2: I've done it too. Fear Mongering newcomers so they'd split
- 1:07Speaker 2: their cash with you to take.
- 1:08Speaker 3: Care of them was pretty common.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Sadly, for Jeremiah, I wasn't born the day before. Nope,
- 1:15Speaker 2: his voice broke halfway through the word, and the kid
- 1:18Speaker 2: quickly shook his head, embarrassed. If she doesn't want company,
- 1:22Speaker 2: we might as well get going. I hate being here.
- 1:24Speaker 1: At night, too, But shouldn't we tell her about.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Andrea was a skinny chick clad in black all day.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Every day she looked on edge, which I couldn't help
- 1:34Speaker 2: but roll my eyes at. Was she scared of the
- 1:37Speaker 2: peering eyes of university kids that could turn more serious
- 1:40Speaker 2: at night? A few minutes past, as the pair picked
- 1:43Speaker 2: up their stuff, they were still talking quietly, but I
- 1:46Speaker 2: didn't bother to listen. I preferred working alone, mostly because
- 1:50Speaker 2: that meant I could play whatever music I wanted and
- 1:53Speaker 2: study while still keeping an eye out for whoever that
- 1:57Speaker 2: needed a fix. Still, it was in an unfamiliar environment.
- 2:07Speaker 2: It was a bit odd, not knowing the exact layout
- 2:09Speaker 2: of the restaurant, or even which ice cream machine was
- 2:12Speaker 2: supposed to be broken being cleaned at what time. Half
- 2:16Speaker 2: an hour into me just browsing my phone, the lights
- 2:20Speaker 2: directly over my head flickered. Had I blinked, I missed
- 2:24Speaker 2: the brief darkness that descended upon the counter.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Looks like the bulb needs to be changed soon.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Ha.
- 2:33Speaker 3: I couldn't help, but yawn, it's been a long day, and.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Yet I knew that it wasn't a good idea to nap,
- 2:39Speaker 2: not when it was so late, while it was rare
- 2:42Speaker 2: for anything to happen. I nearly jumped out of my
- 2:46Speaker 2: skin at the loud noise, but it was just thunder.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Oh who are you? I mean, welcome to burger king.
- 3:00Speaker 2: No answer came, which made me feel a bit weary.
- 3:04Speaker 2: I was no stranger to weird people. That guy was
- 3:06Speaker 2: weird myself, but it was still strange. Are you here
- 3:11Speaker 2: to eat? Or are you lost? It is storming outside.
- 3:16Speaker 2: The trees surrounding the restaurant shook with the force of
- 3:19Speaker 2: the wind. Still, you'll need to buy something to stay here. Sorry,
- 3:25Speaker 2: but those are the rules. Whoa what?
- 3:39Speaker 3: Huh?
- 3:43Speaker 1: Ugh?
- 3:43Speaker 3: Who is it now? What do you mean? Wait? How
- 3:49Speaker 3: do you even have my.
- 3:54Speaker 2: I slammed my phone on the counter. Why was that
- 3:56Speaker 2: kid texting me all of a sudden? And why did
- 3:59Speaker 2: I feels so much fear creeping into my heart? It
- 4:04Speaker 2: has to be a prank, yeah, the little I shook
- 4:06Speaker 2: my head quickly, trying my best to not curse on
- 4:09Speaker 2: the clock. However, I nearly shrieked when I saw it,
- 4:13Speaker 2: the person from before again, but something was wrong with them?
- 4:21Speaker 3: Where where? What do you want?
- 4:31Speaker 2: I knew it was too weird, too elaborate, to be
- 4:33Speaker 2: a prank, but I had no idea what to do.
- 4:36Speaker 2: I felt as if my heart was beating in my throat.
- 4:39Speaker 2: My hands were sweaty, and I was cold but hot too.
- 4:42Speaker 2: At the same time, I wanted to run away, but.
- 4:44Speaker 3: I was so worried that it would follow me. What
- 4:51Speaker 3: do you mean?
- 5:05Speaker 1: Where?
- 5:07Speaker 3: Where's my bear? What bear was she looking for?
- 5:14Speaker 1: Just? Who is she?
- 5:18Speaker 2: All I had to do was wait until the morning.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Jeremiah said I'd be fine, and yet.
- 5:23Speaker 3: I didn't feel safe.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Who would have really? I tried to think of a
- 5:27Speaker 2: way to get out, maybe through the back door, or
- 5:30Speaker 2: was it really the best to stay quiet?
- 5:58Speaker 1: Hey, I'm going to that meeting with corporate. I told
- 6:01Speaker 1: you about your acting manager until I get back. Okay,
- 6:04Speaker 1: got it, boss, Good luck? Thanks, but I won't need it.
- 6:17Speaker 4: I hate this song.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Today on background chit chat, we'll be talking about the
- 6:23Speaker 1: importance of scrubbing your toilet bowl on a regular basis.
- 6:27Speaker 1: You know anything but that.
- 6:30Speaker 4: Hey you Yeah, you are you headed towards your doom?
- 6:34Speaker 1: Then you need the all new, new and improved, upgraded
- 6:38Speaker 1: Deluxe Opponent repellent. You know what? How about silence?
- 6:42Speaker 4: Then?
- 6:45Speaker 1: Come on, people, I got somewhere to be.
- 6:51Speaker 4: Jesus, guy is impatient. Bad traffic. We'll be there soon.
- 6:59Speaker 1: Huh. From I had to come much? Maybe I should
- 7:01Speaker 1: have just walked. No, that would have been suspicious. Who
- 7:06Speaker 1: walks to a meeting with corporate Huh?
- 7:09Speaker 4: Who is this guy? Anyway?
- 7:11Speaker 1: What exactly am I getting myself into?
- 7:14Speaker 4: I mean, what kind of.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Guy calls himself the Kingmaker? That's what my son would
- 7:19Speaker 1: call cringe. I think, honestly i'd call it that too.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Oh well, I just hope his burgers are half as
- 7:26Speaker 1: good as he claims. All right, looks like I'm here.
- 7:32Speaker 4: This is it? Which one am I supposed to go to?
- 7:37Speaker 1: You?
- 7:37Speaker 4: D three? It is?
- 7:38Speaker 1: Then? Whoa? What the who are you?
- 7:58Speaker 4: Ha got you didn't? That's just a cheap costume. I'm
- 8:02Speaker 4: the Kingmaker.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm glad to finally meet you in person,
- 8:07Speaker 1: mister Kingmaker. Leave all the formalities at the door and
- 8:11Speaker 1: come inside. Uh okay, then thank you.
- 8:17Speaker 4: Please have a seat.
- 8:18Speaker 1: We have much to discuss. That's right. You're supposed to
- 8:23Speaker 1: get me ahead of the burger patty game so I
- 8:25Speaker 1: can beat out all the other franchises in the area.
- 8:28Speaker 1: How exactly do you plan on doing that again?
- 8:31Speaker 4: With higher quality beef?
- 8:33Speaker 1: Of course, So I just have to use your patties
- 8:37Speaker 1: instead of the ones the supply chain sends me, and
- 8:39Speaker 1: then everybody will start to notice that my burgers taste
- 8:42Speaker 1: better than all the other Burger Kings. Yeah, exactly, But
- 8:48Speaker 1: what makes your patties any better than the regular ones?
- 8:51Speaker 4: How do you make them?
- 8:53Speaker 1: That's a trade secret, of course. Well how will I
- 8:58Speaker 1: even know if they're any good? Come on, don't take
- 9:03Speaker 1: me for a crook. I'm gonna let you try one
- 9:06Speaker 1: for yourself. Of course, I assure you that this is
- 9:11Speaker 1: one hundred percent standard Burger King burger, except for my patty.
- 9:16Speaker 4: Go ahead, eat it. This better be good.
- 9:23Speaker 1: Hey, that's pretty good. They're actually really good. Here. I
- 9:28Speaker 1: thought you were gonna try and sell me a McDonald's burger. Listen,
- 9:32Speaker 1: if you can really provide enough of these patties to
- 9:34Speaker 1: service my whole restaurant, then we got a deal.
- 9:38Speaker 4: So you like it. Yes, I'm very pleased.
- 9:44Speaker 1: I know I already asked, but you gotta tell me
- 9:47Speaker 1: how did you do this? Well, if you insist, I'll
- 9:53Speaker 1: show you. But first I must explain, explain what what.
- 9:59Speaker 4: I'm doing here. I want to make the best burger
- 10:02Speaker 4: that has ever.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Existed, and I'm willing to do anything to make that happen.
- 10:07Speaker 1: And when I say anything, I mean anything.
- 10:12Speaker 4: Hey, watch it.
- 10:13Speaker 1: You run the burger King, don't you That makes you
- 10:17Speaker 1: the burger King, does it not. You are in charge
- 10:20Speaker 1: of the burgers, so you are their king. Oh? I
- 10:25Speaker 1: mean sure, that's one way to put it. But what
- 10:31Speaker 1: the hell is this?
- 10:33Speaker 4: Never mind that. Listen to me.
- 10:35Speaker 1: In order to create the best burger in the world,
- 10:38Speaker 1: I must use you, the burger King, your knowledge, your expertise,
- 10:42Speaker 1: your discerning taste. I want to create the king of burgers,
- 10:47Speaker 1: the Burger King burger. You know that every burger we
- 10:53Speaker 1: sell is technically a Burger King burger. Shut up, that's
- 10:58Speaker 1: not what I'm talking about. Want to make the burger
- 11:01Speaker 1: of the Burger King.
- 11:03Speaker 4: Hey, let go of me. I don't know what you're
- 11:06Speaker 4: talking about. I'm sorry.
- 11:10Speaker 1: I know what I'm trying to do doesn't make sense
- 11:12Speaker 1: to most I know you are the burger Kings, so
- 11:15Speaker 1: you have your own way of doing things. Well, I'm
- 11:19Speaker 1: more like a burger king, but.
- 11:22Speaker 4: You admit it, Yes, you are the burger king.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Sure.
- 11:28Speaker 4: And the burger I made it was a good burger.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Yeah, it was the best one I've had in a while.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Then I'd like to show you my process. Really, I
- 11:40Speaker 1: thought you said it was a trade secret.
- 11:42Speaker 4: Ah, forget about all that.
- 11:44Speaker 1: Follow me. Whoa you You're not messing around. You really
- 11:49Speaker 1: can produce enough to power a whole restaurant. I told
- 11:53Speaker 1: you I was serious about my venture. Would you like
- 11:56Speaker 1: to take a look at the machinery. Well, the thing is,
- 12:00Speaker 1: I don't have anything to do with the meat grinding.
- 12:03Speaker 1: That all happens before the meat gets to me.
- 12:05Speaker 4: I don't have anything to do with it. Aren't you
- 12:08Speaker 4: the slightest bit curious?
- 12:12Speaker 1: I guess I'm a little bit curious, And go ahead
- 12:16Speaker 1: and take a look. All right, then I will. What's
- 12:20Speaker 1: the meaning of this?
- 12:21Speaker 4: What's going on?
- 12:23Speaker 1: I told you, burger king, I want to make a
- 12:26Speaker 1: burger king burger. Stop this please let me go shut up.
- 12:32Speaker 1: You'll make a great patty general man. It just disappear
- 12:36Speaker 1: all the time around here. Haven't you ever noticed what no?
- 12:41Speaker 5: Please hmm, that smells so good.
- 13:01Speaker 1: People think the strangest things happen in haunted mansions or
- 13:04Speaker 1: dark places. I was one of those people until something
- 13:08Speaker 1: happened to me that changed my mind. My name is Nick,
- 13:12Speaker 1: and this is the story of my first month working
- 13:14Speaker 1: at Burger King. At that time of the year, Burger
- 13:17Speaker 1: King was looking for new employees to cover vacation shifts,
- 13:21Speaker 1: so they were only looking for people to work for
- 13:23Speaker 1: three months. Since I was one of those casual employees,
- 13:27Speaker 1: I naturally got the off shifts. So I was one
- 13:30Speaker 1: of the people in charge of working the night shift,
- 13:32Speaker 1: where we were managed by a more senior employee and
- 13:36Speaker 1: most of the new people were in charge of cleaning
- 13:38Speaker 1: or cooking. The first few weeks went by really fast.
- 13:42Speaker 1: This was my first job, so I was happy to
- 13:44Speaker 1: just clean while learning from other employees by taking care
- 13:48Speaker 1: of people. I used to get home very late, but
- 13:51Speaker 1: I didn't mind since I lived a few blocks away.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Everything was going well at work until one night something
- 13:58Speaker 1: unthinkable happened. We had already closed the doors to the
- 14:01Speaker 1: public and were about to leave. We were just a
- 14:04Speaker 1: few employees and I was the only one mopping the floors.
- 14:07Speaker 1: I was about to finish. Only the game section was left.
- 14:11Speaker 1: I was just about to finish when suddenly I heard
- 14:14Speaker 1: some noises in the ballpit. The ballpit was neither very
- 14:18Speaker 1: big nor very flashy. It was somewhat translucent, so that
- 14:21Speaker 1: the parents could control their children. And it was that
- 14:25Speaker 1: very thing that made me make the discovery that I did.
- 14:28Speaker 1: The transparency of the ballpit revealed the silhouette of a
- 14:32Speaker 1: child inside. How was that even possible. Perhaps one of
- 14:37Speaker 1: the parents had forgotten a child. Surely they were looking
- 14:40Speaker 1: for him like crazy. I ran towards the ballpit, and
- 14:43Speaker 1: when I looked through one of its pipes, I didn't
- 14:45Speaker 1: see anything. Hey, guys, come here quick. I called the
- 14:50Speaker 1: rest of the employees, without taking my eyes off the ballpit,
- 14:54Speaker 1: in case the boy escaped. I didn't see him anymore,
- 14:57Speaker 1: but I was sure he was still there. There's no
- 15:00Speaker 1: way he was going anywhere. I told my coworkers everything,
- 15:03Speaker 1: and we all inspected the place. There was nothing. Are
- 15:07Speaker 1: you sure you saw him there? Yeah? Not only did
- 15:10Speaker 1: I see the shadow across the ballpit, but I heard
- 15:13Speaker 1: it too.
- 15:13Speaker 3: Maybe he ran away while you were looking for him.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Where would he run off? To all the doors are locked,
- 15:18Speaker 1: and I never let him out of my sight.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Andrew, you've been here longer. Have you ever seen anything
- 15:24Speaker 2: like this?
- 15:25Speaker 1: No? Never, I'm sure it was your imagination. There's nothing here.
- 15:30Speaker 1: It's too late, guys. Let's get this over with and
- 15:32Speaker 1: go home. And with that said, we all left. Everyone
- 15:37Speaker 1: was laughing and making jokes about me seeing ghosts, but
- 15:40Speaker 1: no one really believed me. I needed to prove to
- 15:43Speaker 1: them what I saw was real, and I was going
- 15:46Speaker 1: to do it over the next few days. I always
- 15:50Speaker 1: encouraged them to come at night to see if anything happened,
- 15:53Speaker 1: but to my disappointment, it never did. Some time passed
- 15:57Speaker 1: and no one believed me anymore. Even I doubted that
- 16:01Speaker 1: I had really seen something. But again, when I was alone,
- 16:05Speaker 1: it happened again. I was again cleaning the playground area
- 16:09Speaker 1: and putting up the chairs when I saw a shadow
- 16:11Speaker 1: crawling in the playground. I thought about calling my coworkers,
- 16:15Speaker 1: but it could disappear again. So this time I did
- 16:18Speaker 1: the most logical thing I could think of. I took
- 16:21Speaker 1: out my cell phone and recorded it. I thought that
- 16:24Speaker 1: by recording the silhouette would surely disappear, but it didn't.
- 16:29Speaker 1: And I captured everything on camera. Once I finished recording,
- 16:33Speaker 1: I tried to quietly call my colleagues, but no one came.
- 16:36Speaker 1: A shadow began to move to the top, where there
- 16:39Speaker 1: was a small hole with a plastic grill to keep
- 16:42Speaker 1: the children from falling in. I approached the tall tube
- 16:46Speaker 1: and looked inside for the child, who seemed to be crying,
- 16:49Speaker 1: but when I looked again, I saw nothing. Suddenly, the
- 16:53Speaker 1: sobbing stopped. The room filled with a long and tedious silence,
- 16:58Speaker 1: and I just stared at that too, waiting for the
- 17:01Speaker 1: child to appear. I guess it was obvious, well, at
- 17:08Speaker 1: least I have you on camera. Something had pulled me
- 17:11Speaker 1: by my feet at that moment, it was all very confusing.
- 17:15Speaker 1: I just remember hitting my back on the ground and
- 17:18Speaker 1: feeling that something was pulling me towards the tube below.
- 17:21Speaker 1: As I resisted, I saw the inside of the tube
- 17:25Speaker 1: for the first time I saw the boy. He didn't
- 17:29Speaker 1: look like an innocent, crying child, but like a horrible
- 17:32Speaker 1: monster disguised as a child trying to hunt its prey.
- 17:36Speaker 1: His skin was dead white, and his eyes had a
- 17:39Speaker 1: huge black shadow under them. The shadow grew larger and
- 17:44Speaker 1: larger with each passing second while large red veins were
- 17:49Speaker 1: growing out of his eyes and spreading all over his face.
- 17:52Speaker 1: I did everything I could to escape. I kicked and
- 17:56Speaker 1: screamed as much as I could, So.
- 18:00Speaker 4: What help me?
- 18:02Speaker 1: This boy's strength was not normal at all. No matter
- 18:06Speaker 1: how hard I tried, he kept dragging me slowly with
- 18:09Speaker 1: frightening ease. Once I got half of my body into
- 18:12Speaker 1: the tube, I tried to hold on to him with
- 18:15Speaker 1: my arms. I was able to stop him for a
- 18:18Speaker 1: few seconds, but I couldn't hold on any longer. My
- 18:21Speaker 1: arms let go of the tube and let the being
- 18:24Speaker 1: drag me into it. I felt a hand on my
- 18:27Speaker 1: face that pulled me to the center of the ballpit.
- 18:30Speaker 1: But suddenly a hand from outside grabbed my hand and
- 18:33Speaker 1: dragged me out of the ballpit tube. It was one
- 18:36Speaker 1: of my coworkers. Once I was out, all my coworkers
- 18:40Speaker 1: started to join him and pulled me out. Guys, he
- 18:44Speaker 1: hurt me, You saved me. How could I have not
- 18:47Speaker 1: heard you, Nick? I think the whole block heard you screaming.
- 18:51Speaker 1: You saw it, didn't you? The ghostboy? No, I didn't
- 18:55Speaker 1: see anything. You were alone, But you grabbed my hand.
- 19:00Speaker 1: He was pulling me too. I'm sorry to tell you,
- 19:03Speaker 1: but no, no one was forcing on the other side.
- 19:06Speaker 1: I just grabbed your hand and pulled you. After that,
- 19:10Speaker 1: everyone looked at me with concern. The playground was empty.
- 19:14Speaker 1: I was alone again. Anyway, this time they would believe me.
- 19:18Speaker 1: I took out my cell phone and looked for the recording.
- 19:21Speaker 1: They all looked at it and shocked and quickly moved
- 19:24Speaker 1: away from the tubes. At the same time, I felt
- 19:27Speaker 1: something burning in my ankles. When I pulled up my pants,
- 19:31Speaker 1: we all saw the same thing. My ankles were red
- 19:35Speaker 1: with the fingerprints of a little boy. The next day
- 19:39Speaker 1: I told my manager everything. I told him that there
- 19:42Speaker 1: were witnesses and everything, and without worrying, he said he
- 19:45Speaker 1: would take care of it. A week and a half later,
- 19:48Speaker 1: I received a dismissal telegram. No matter how much I
- 19:52Speaker 1: made a fuss, no one ever did anything about it.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Something tells me that the manager knew about this, but
- 19:59Speaker 1: decided not to do anything about it for fear that
- 20:02Speaker 1: they would close the place or remove the games area,
- 20:05Speaker 1: which used to attract many families. Today, the ballpit is
- 20:09Speaker 1: still there in the same place it attacked me at night,
- 20:13Speaker 1: But who knows if tomorrow it'll be able to grab
- 20:16Speaker 1: a child who's alone, and maybe there will be no
- 20:20Speaker 1: one to rescue him,
