The Secret

Another crate was loaded on the ship, it has been like this every day and I was getting curious about what are in the crates. As I was loading the crates on the ship I saw a hole in one of the crates as my curiosity is killing me I look inside to discover organs, what type of organs I wonder? I wanted to look at it more before I feel someone behind and to my surprise it was the boss, he smiled at me and I smiled back before taking my leave and get the other crates. It Is rare to see the boss sometimes since he cooped up in his office all the time, he is a mysterious man as things comes in and go out and I don’t even know what does our company do. Our jobs are to load the ship with crates, and write some reports if we have to. We have to live in the buildings in order to have a job and we are not allowed to leave the building and it is hard to leave anyway, because there are only two doors to leave one in the front and one in the back, the doors won’t budge at all even with all our might. The boss said if we work for him he will send us our family’s money since in our society it is really hard to get a job and this is the only company that hires people. I was walking past the boss’s room and his door was ajar when I peek in I saw someone lying on the ground and the boss was sitting on his chair holding a gun with a silencer. I gasped and to my shock I thought boss was the understanding type of person but I never know he would shoot someone. Suddenly he was pulling the body to a spot that looks like the laundry dump, he open the door and drag his legs inside and then slowly pushes the whole body in. I was wondering what was going on and I ran to see where is the laundry dump, there are many rooms in the building I came to the bottom floor and see are there any signs of the laundry dump, it was the last door in the whole building I wished it was this last door, when I opened it there was a flight of stairs leading somewhere as I was going to enter it a hand was on my shoulder I quickly turned around to find the boss looking at me.

“Where are you going?” asked the boss

“Uh..no sir I thought I heard something down there” I replied

“Is that so I will go down and check it then” said the boss

“Okay thanks boss” I replied back as I walked off

Something occurred to me something suspicious about the boss. For the rest of the day when I am doing work I feel like there is someone watching me and it is making me very uneasy. Night has come and I wanted to go to sleep as the day was tiring and I have been uneasy at all times. I didn’t eat anything for dinner as I don’t have the mood to eat. I had a very weird dream, in the dream I was at the flight of stairs and I heard lots of people crying for help but I couldn’t go down at all because the eyes were all on me. That was when I woke up with cold sweat all over me. I looked at the time and it was 4:30am there is still about 4 hours til it is time to work. I decided to go back to the door at the stairs because the dream kept coming back to me in my mind. I walked slowly downstairs and along the hall as I reached the door and tried to open it, to my dismay it was locked. As I was turning back a figure stood among the dark. I thought I was just seeing night things until I realised the shape was familiar I thought it was the boss but I think it is impossible as he must be sleeping in his bed.

“What are you doing sneaking around at night” asked the man

“Um nothing I was sleepwalking til I hit this door” I lied hoping he would accept it

“I see, well go back to sleep now since you are not sleepwalking anymore” he said.

“Uh okay bye” I replied and quickly disappear, it was scary having to get in trouble again.

I wanted to investigate what was going on because I was stopped twice from trying to enter that door so it made curious what are they hiding and why do they keep stopping me from entering the room. I looked back and forth making sure no one was there until I got to the door. I opened the door and walk slowly down the flights of stairs, when I reached there to my horror lying on the ground are a bunch of dead bodies and some of them had their bodies cut opened. I walked over to one of the cut opened bodies and saw that all their organs are missing, their head were covered in a blue cloth, I wanted to see who it was and to my astonishment it was the my co-worker’s wife. Pieces of mysteries are now in my head, the company are selling body organs to the black market and they are killing our family members, this had angered me. I ran out from the room and quickly tried to inform everyone about what happened, but they didn’t believe a single word I was talking about, I tried to convince them what had happened but they just shove me away and calling me crazy, I wished they will believe me. Days gone by and they still don’t believe me, I decided to give my last attempt before I could tell them, I felt something striking my heart, I looked down to my own body, blood everywhere, standing by the doorway was the boss.

“I had to kill you since you have known my secret” smirk the boss

I died lying in a pool of my own blood.
