The Voices

Tra La.
Back again with this blog that I can never seem to keep up.  I was telling you all about the paranormal in my life but even I found it boring.  So I'll tell you about the lighter paranormal bits of my life.
For instance: The Voices.  Those Voices I would hear when I entered the office building.  The conversation that I could never understand but could hear.  It got so that I would greet them aloud every morning with a "Hello, Voices", hoping that they would answer back.  They never did.  Someone else in the building heard typing in a room with no typewriter and there was the loud knocking on the closed office door that I answered only to find the guy next door at his door asking if I had knocked.  I hadn't.
I also saw one of The Voices only once.  Didn't scare me.  I thought it was great but it did get me thinking.  Did The Voices really want to be there.  Stuck in that historic building for the rest of their eternities?  Did I want that to be their fate?  I'd grown fond of those Voices so I thought I would help them out. I told them they were dead, that they could leave, that they could move on to their reward and the building went silent and empty.  I was proud of myself.
But then....
The water was out in our half of the building.  To use a bathroom I had to go down three flights of stairs, cross the wide vestibule, take those stairs down, through the garage and into the icy bathroom there.  I do mean cold.  So there I sit doing my business and what do I hear?  Yep.  The Voices.  I didn
t sent them on their way.  I sent them into the cold lonely garage.  So I put myself back together, waited till the toilet stopped flushing and addressed The Voices basically telling them that they could go upstairs, the could go anywhere they wanted, that I was just trying to send them to their loved ones.
The Voices were back.
I don't work in the office anymore but do my stuff from home.  I did make it a point to tell the voice goodbye.
The Voices are happy.  Two churches meet in the building each Sunday.  A regular service and a Hispanic service that if full of people.  Imagine the energy!
The Voices.  My best office friends!
