A Post With No Real Value, Unless You're Me, Of Course

This is a story of adventure and the strange things that have been seen. Justin and I wanted to sign up for a lab practical review at Science Guyz in downtown Athens, so this afternoon, we made that trek. I hopped into his car, and there we went. We find a parking space nearby, and get out at walk into the Fred Building. Now, I am convinced that the Fred Building was probably one of the earlier building of downtown Athens, and was probably built in the 1930’s or 40’s (or at least it had that feel. Here is the feel of the building. The hallways are just enough for two people going opposite ways not to collide. There is some granite on the bottom half of the walls, old tile (based on design and color), and in the hallways of the fifth floor, the lights were ceiling fans. On the 3^rd floor, the walls are mainly wooden, with old block lettering on the windows of the offices. The whole building felt like we should be suddenly transported back in time, into the world of business in the 1930’s. I expected to see men wandering to and fro in their business suits and newspapers in hand. After going to the 5^th floor, and then the 3^rd floor, and then back to the 5^th floor, we were waiting on an elevator in order to go down the 1^st floor in order to walk back to his car. An elevator arrives, and we get on. The door almost shuts and then mysteriously opens; we make sure not to be in the way, it starts to close again, and then opens again. Then, it starts to close again and once more, when it’s almost closed, it opens again. We are then a little freaked out, and we decide that is not the elevator we need to be on, as soon as we get off, the door starts to close and completely closes and the elevator goes down. I think the elevator just might have been haunted :P We then wait for the other elevator to come. The elevator arrives, and no lie, out walks a guy in a powder blue suit with his dog (a smaller dog, not like a Great Dane), and another guy with whom he was having a conversation with also walks out and says, “So, you’re not rushing off to court, right?” It was an interesting sight. We hop on that elevator; finally get to the first floor, and into his car. We are driving back and no lie, in front of us is a hearse. If this was a legitimate fictional story, there would be a little of symbolism in each part of this story, a lot of metaphors for the doom to come, but this is a real story, with which I have witness. An interesting day it has been.
