Life, the Obstacle Course

The Encounter at Midnight

Translated…

I’d worked in the hotel industries for over a decade now, I’d seen, an assortment of weird and whacked out things already, but, of all the encounters I’d ever had, some were, very memorable.

This time I’d like to talk about the midnight encounters.

Late one evening, after my shift, I’d entered into the backroom, changed my clothes, I’d discovered, that there were, shadows, swaying around the corner……guess, what is emitting the shadows?

  1. A Rat
  2. A Crab
  3. The Hotel Manager

The answer was, two.  It’s true, I’d, focused my eyes, it was, a crab, walking across the floors, it’s a, king crab too boot too!  I’d remembered that the lid was placed over the tank with the king crabs, and, the crabs are all, tied with the vinyl strings, but, it’d managed to, escape!  I’m not surprised that an untied king crab can lift up the lids, but, who had, untied him?  Could it be, that there was, another king crab who’d worked so hard, to untie him with its own tied-up pincers?

Back then, there was a colleague with me, we’d spent some time, discussing whether we should put the crab back to the cooking sections, but then, we’d risk, getting attacked, by those pincers then—if you Google right now, you’d find, that the larger varieties of king crabs ARE kings, that it’s not, for an ordinary mortal, to fight with.  After we’d both made sure, that we’re not at all, that loyal to the company, we’d thought, how about, if this was, for ourselves?  Meaning that if we catch it, and take it home and cook it ourselves, we would’ve had the chance, to eat this king crab that’s sold for $8,000N.T.s!

But unfortunately, because my coworker had bad diets when he was younger, after he’d eaten this king crab, he will have the relapses of his gout; and because I’m allergic to shell fish, I couldn’t possibly eat it either.  In the end, we’d had to, set him free.

The very next day, although I’d asked around about what happened to this king crab, but nobody knows where it’d gone; but the only thing we’re sure of was, that it really did, disappear, as we reviewed over the surveillance footages, it’s nowhere in the kitchens, and we’d checked, every last corner too, we’d even had the entire staff out, looking for it, and still, it wasn’t found.

not my photograph…

So, what did, happen to him?  He probably still had the worst, coming to him.

And so, this, is something interesting you’ll be telling years from now, because of this interesting midnight encounter, it’d made your work experience more memorable, and that just shows, how interesting things would be happening, where you least expect them to.
