Teaser Short Story : We Have Always Worked At The Factory (Horror)

Started working on a Horror Story about Ghosts in a Music Factory. It's a work in progress. Most likely a Short Story. One of these days I might attempt a Novel. But for now Short Stories are my comfort zone. This is the first page only so far as a teaser. Hope you like it.  

 

We Have Always Worked At The Factory by P.C. Snider

Adam Whitaker works in a Factory. He started working there straight out of High School. He never went to College. He thought College was a big scam to get people into debt, and not find any Jobs in the fields they ended up taking. So he skipped that step, and went straight to work. He is in his late Thirties, single never Married.

The Factory he worked at was old. Way older than he was. The hours were long, and hard. Twelve hour rotating shifts.

The Factory he works at is called Timberline Instruments, in Milbrook Falls, Maine. It has been running since 1925. They make Musical Instruments, Drums, Pianos, Guitars (Acoustic, and Electric), Ukuleles, and more!

He was excited to work there at first being a real big Music Enthusiast.

“Hey Adam.” his boss Dave said.

“Hey Dave.” Adam sighed as he was checking the quality of a Snare Drum that was just made.

“How’s QA today?” He laughs.

“Heh, like I haven’t heard that before.”

“I’m fine, I guess.” He replies, as he started hitting the Snare Drum with a Drum Stick.
