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.
Can we read these stories anywhere?
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.
The premise sounds fun, and apparently it's informed by experience, so I hope you do!
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.
