Once wrote a series of short stories about fantasy creatures living and working in a warehouse. My favorite were the weekending ghosts, who haunted a manor through the week, but took weekend trips to haunt the warehouse on Saturdays and Sundays to get a break from it all.
Sadly not. Probably the best thing I’ve ever written. Several hundred pages. But they were written on old security log sheets (written as log entries while bored doing night shift security at a warehouse), and they ended up lost or destroyed when I moved. I’ve considered rewriting them, though.
Yep! Well, not mine. Owned by a massive German company. But I worked there for several years, and reported on the weirdness my coworker/friend and I experienced in a funny and lighthearted way. One of the reasons I don’t think I can recreate it, though, is that I have a terrible memory. I can recall the broad strokes (the freakishly large beetles, the weekend hauntings, et cetera, et cetera), but there were characters in it based on coworkers and clients and I don’t think I can recreate those anywhere near accurately.
It was a fun way to pass the night shift. I would do 2 or 3 twelve hour log sheets per shift, over the course of a few years. My favorite characters were the vampires who sat shiva for themselves, based on a concept from my 2005ish Myspace girlfriend. Lol. Every time they uncover the mirrors and there’s no reflection they start the process over.
They’re fictional, so I guess they work however the writer wants them to.
I want them to work in a warehouse. I smell A sitcom!

Not a warehouse but You are in for a treat!
Best show ever.
I was hoping for this and was not disappointed
It took a while to load on my phone and the longer it took the bigger my hope and smile. Big relentless reward now.
I’m a few seasons behind on that I don’t know why

Can we read these stories anywhere?

You should. It sounds pretty great.
So it was your warehouse they were haunting. Always write what you know about.

The premise sounds fun, and apparently it’s informed by experience, so I hope you do!
