After he left I was alone in this new space, yet the only thing that fascinated me the most was the hovering body set in place in the center of the room. 

I approached it slowly and with ease, almost tiptoeing towards the body I was scared that its eyes might pop open and come to life.   

No maybe I'm just stupid for thinking that. 

After several seconds passed I finally reached my destination , making contact with the glass and feeling how cold it was, in addition to the overly freezing room I was in, made my skin prickle up like that of a chicken.      I have really weird skin. 

Eventually my eyes landed on the main prize inside, it was a pale body that belonged to some lady, she seemed so young to, almost as old as I am. Perhaps it was  her porcelain like skin, and small face that made her look so youthful. Though what seemed the most eye catching was her long wavy and kind of messy red and kinda orange hair. 

Hmmm, that's strange, I thought the gene for red hair went extinct 30 years ago? 


I didn't want to over think about this small minor detail but then commenced to examine her more in depth. Aside from the red hair, her body was covered in veins that might have poped out during the preservation process  . This only made her look more gracious and almost frozen in time like one of those old Renaissance paintings.  Or more like Aphrodite with red hair and blue veins. 

But what made me most curious was the cause of death, was it a heart attack or maybe an overdose? I really couldn't tell because her eyes were closed but there don't seem to be any sort of external wounds that could have caused her death not even a single stitch or bruise. Then what could it be if it wasn't anything physical?  


" This is weirder than I thought."   I said out loud . 



" Indeed it is. But that doesn't mean that you can just make random assumptions about things that seem weird to you?'" 

I was taken back by the sudden response , actually I got a bit scared and almost peed a little . 

  Who are you?   I replied back, trying to figure out who just came into the room so quietly. 

" The names Sandra , who the hell are you? Why are you ... Oh wait your the new guy right?" 

Yeah guess I am .    


This Sandra chick is really weird.  Talking to myself in my mind.

" Oh and that body over there, we named her Sam. "       She giggled a bit after finishing her sentence . But Sandra continued to speak further about " Sam" . 

So her name is Sam? Interesting . I said while stroking my fake mustache. 

" Well that's  not her real name, no one knows for sure.  How she died is also a mystery, we weren't to examine her that closely . I wish I could but the Boss said I can't unless I want to get fired. So now we just use her as a decoration or to get DNA samples from her if needed. '

I was taken back by all the new information that I had to take in so quickly but its worth it. 


" Oh and fun fact actually, Sam here is the last know person in the whole world to have red hair, though sadly she is dead and it doesn't really count but its still astonishing to see from up close!"  


I see.             

was all that I was able to say at the moment, but it's nice to know the mystery of the red hair. 

Then Sandra came close to me and put an arm around my shoulder.


What are you doing?  I said.

" Come with me , Ugh whats your name? Sorry sometimes I talk to much." 

Its David, David Stechle. 

" Pleasure to meet you David, I guess we are both going to be working together for a while. Might as well become friends now than later!' 

Yes that sounds like a fun idea.           Now take note, I am not a very social person, but I do appreciate friendly people at times. Maybe this might turn out well?

 " Awesome! Now lets go get some Mc Muffins from across the street, its way to early to start work right now." 

I love Mc Muffins!    Then we proceeded to the elevator and made our way out to  get some food, perhaps this might be the start of a really good friendship, man offering me food on the first day, you got me hooked already!
