tldr: got spooked at a school. got spooked some more later. got even more spooked later still. lastly got the spookening whilst reading the paper.

working early morning shift (6 am) in a school kitchen. head cook had to leave for a bit and set me to a nuch of things that needed to be done while she was gone. am alone in the kitchen.
i was working and working fast on finishing what ever it was i was working on, makin oatmeal or something, with my head down. i swear out of the corner of my eye i see a kid pop their head in the door then pop it back out. i don't look up or pay it much mind even though its too early for kids to eat some get there at super early just to play in the halls or in their class room. i figure they are just bored and curious what goes on in the school that early.
so am still working fast on what ever it was i was working on, makin oatmeal or something, and out of the corner of my eye it happens again except this time its more than one kids head pop in an i can tell they are watching me. i figure the two kids are there super early and are just curious about what the cooks do in the morning. i keep my face to my work and say in my firm but friendly mr authority voice "go to your class rooms or go out side kids we are not quite ready yet" i look up and no kids. i assume they figured playing on the swings would be more fun than watching some one make oatmeal or what ever it was i was doing.
i go back to what ever it was i was doing, makin oat meal or something, and all of a sudden both doors that go from the kitchen to the lunch room slam shut. and i mean slam shut. in that lil space it sounded like 2 fuckin cannons going off at once and i about piss myself. i stop what ever it was i was doing, makin oatmeal or something and walk out to the lunch room to see maybe the kids were fucking with something and it turned off the electric wall magnets that get the doors open. i get out there and it is fuckin empty. nothing. no kids. nothing. i go back to the kitchen and open the doors but the wall magnets are not holding the doors. i remember once some one telling me that during a lock down all the door magnets would shut off and the doors would close and lock at the hasp on the frame. they also said the system was touchy and would sometimes glich and pop closed. i figure this is what is happening and walk down to the main office and see if the janitor was around.
i am going down the big main hall way walkin fast cause i know i got shit to do and i can hear all kinds of people talking and shit. like a lot of people. i figure that this might have to do with the door situation and i start into a jog as i come up the lil incline. i crest the incline and like that it is fuckin quiet. nothing. the whole office is dark and no one is up there. no one that could have been talking let alone a bunch of people talking. nothing. i figure i will just wait til the janitor comes round the kitchen to grab his breakfast and have him deal with it.
i turn round back to the kitchen with haste as my pace to finish my what ever it was i was doing, makin oatmeal or something, and as i am going down the incline in the big hall way i can swear that some one is walking just a bit behind and to the left of me keeping time with me. like they are makin sure their feet are matched up with my feet as we walk. i am sure of it even though comin down the hallway i know it was empty as fuck. i snap my [head back and to the left] and (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wi-lW2poE4) thinking it might be one of the kids i saw earlier but no. just like at the office. nothing.
i get back to the kitchen finish what ever it was i was doing, makin oatmeal or something and started to thinking about what the fuck was going on. i didn't think about it too long as the head cook came back and shifted into frantic mode to get every thing done for breakfast. she sets me to working on fruit or something. i was going to tell her about the two kids and thedoors glichin but right as i thought of it the janitor pops in and opens both doors and they snap right on to the magnets like nothing. i figure i was just getting a touch of jumpiness from being up so early and trying to rush at what ever it was i was working on, makin oatmeal or something, and was makin lil mountains out of lil mole hills.
7:30 roles around and we start serving. i keep an eye to the kids to see if i can recognize any of my early morning looky lous but for the life of me i can't even remember what they looked like. more often than not when a kid does something like that they bring it up. i waited the whole line for a kid to say "hey cooker (not cook or mr cook but cooker) did you see me and my sister look in here at you?" cause i was sure it was a boy and a girl. real sure.
so that breakfast winds down and i put the early part of the morning out of my mind as i do other stuff. i pack up and get ready to leave to my other job and let it kind of drift into that lil miasma of shit in the back of your mind that you know you should figure out but really don't want to.
