Your experience reads like the journal of a guard from Thief, except you weren't blackjacked.

You could work at the building for another week or two, then write a book about your experiences.

SDCI in Strathroy? Or is that entirely torn down by now?
(edit: wait SDCI's not an elementary school)

Aww, come on... Give it another chance! Just remember, if you hear air-raid sirens going off in the distance or knocking coming from the top attic, leg it.
I had a Silent Hill-style dream a few days ago, by the way. It would be fun to survive something like that... with an emphasis on surviving, of course.

You know all those shoes laying around? It's because you friggin' Canucks have slushy-wet winters, and they wear their (

I wish I had the evening shift. I would spend all my time setting up surprises for the night guy. Small stuff like a bloody handprint among all the other ones on the window, gather and pile the shoes in front of the forbidden door, place books in one classroom open to the same page on all the desks with the word "leave" underlined, little things that I could escalate.
Of course to really do it right I would have to hide somewhere like the forbidden room, unscrew the lock cylinder and replace it with my own, schools all use the same easily defeated type. Things would have to be there on one inspection and gone the next. Black felt glued to the bottoms of my shoes. Night vision goggles would help. Hmmm the PA system could be rigged too. There would have to be orchestrated distractions.
It would be a load of fun to plan and execute. Right up to the moment I was shot through the forehead anyway.

Galoshes were worn by adults, over their dress/work shoes, at least when I was young. They are virtually non-existent today. During the winter, some of us wore boots to school and lugged our shoes back and forth. Others left their shoes in the classroom instead. Combine that with the fact that children quickly outgrow their clothes and you end up with a varied collection of abandoned footwear. They were probably stored away by the teachers "just in case" and then forgotten about.

My God man! Don't you know that only Stupid Movie People go into the Forbidden Room?!!! Haven't you learned anything - or is your TV broken? AR was right to just keep walking and not tamper with the locked door; just the fact that
Someone was watching him from a window in
That room was proof enough. :sweat:
As for the shoes, the type of monsters that lurk in old schools grab unsuspecting children so fast that the kids are pulled right out of their shoes. The galoshes and abandoned shoes theories are just coverups. I thought everyone knew that. :rolleyes:
