Life above the Mortuary

     Brooke and I moved into our new apartment a couple of weeks ago! It's pretty spacious compared to our last place, and is a lot nicer overall. We actually have some sunlight, so that's cool. So the deal is, we live above a mortuary and take calls in the evening. We had to go through an interview process, and once selected we received training on how to deal with people who just lost loved ones. So we're basically evening secretaries. When someone dies, they call us and we take down the information of the person. Then we send a director out to the address of the deceased to pick up the body. Most people ask us if anything creepy has happened yet, and so far... not really. Only one thing did creep us out a little. The other night we went through the side door into some offices downstairs. When we came back Brooke noticed the front door was open, and she was pretty sure she had closed it. I made fun of her and told her not to be silly. The next day in our bosses office, he asked us if anything weird had happened yet. We responded no, not really. Then he asked if our front door had opened on its own yet!!!! So it sounds like it's happened before, but we're not worried about it. It'll make for super good stories some day. Anyway, that's our life now. Love you guys!
