英语灵异故事-Clubbing In The Afterlife(夜总会幽灵) 01

       I used to work in a nightclub called Club Princess. It was not a fancy club; it was a casual dressed dance club. Although we were only open on Fridays, I would still be working on Thursdays and Saturdays. Thursdays I would stock beer in the fridge and Saturdays I would clean the mess from the night before which was horrifying¹.

　　It was a Thursday afternoon and I had showed up for work late. It was summer and it was a very hot day, so I was pretty glad to be able to stock the fridges because it would keep me cool.

　　The club is comprised of 4 bars. One in the front and on either side was a doorway² that led into the main club. On either side of the club was another bar. There were stairs that led into the balcony bar just above the front bar at the front of the club. To the other side of the club was the stage.

　　I was in the balcony stocking the fridge at the bar, enjoying my simple task and the cool breeze from the fridge; my mind had wandered off as I was working to thoughts of my girlfriend. I had turned from the fridge to the counter on the bar where I sat the case of beer I was stocking. Moving the case out of the way to grab³ the next brand I glanced to the stage. Towards the right of the stage was the Emergency exit. In front of the Emergency exit stood a dark haired woman in a very light blue dress.

        我过去曾在一家名叫“公主俱乐部”的夜总会工作.那不是一家很豪华的夜总会,就是一个人们穿着便服来跳跳舞的地方.虽然我们只在周五才营业,可周四晚上和周六晚上我还是得上班.周四晚上我要负责把啤酒放进冰箱,周六我则要打扫卫生,周五晚上过后这儿乱得恐怖.

　　那是一个周四的下午,我上班迟到了.当时正是夏天,很热,所以对我来说往冰箱里放啤酒是个好差事,因为这样很凉快.

　　这个夜总会里一共有四个酒吧.其中一个在前面,它的正上方有一个阳台,有楼梯可以上去,那里也有一个酒吧,此外,两边各有一个走廊通向夜总会的主场.夜总会的两边也都各有一个酒吧.夜总会的另一端是一个舞台.

　　我正在阳台上的那个酒吧里,把啤酒从吧台上往冰箱里摆,工作虽然很简单,我却挺享受从冰箱里冒出来的丝丝冷气.虽然在工作,我的脑子里却想着我的女朋友.我转身把吧台上装啤酒的空盒子拿开,准备继续放另一个牌子的啤酒,就在这时,我扫了舞台一眼.舞台的右手边是个紧急出口,就在出口的前站着一个黑头发的女人,她穿着一身淡蓝色的衣服。
