A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to Naseby Medical Centre with an unusual package. The sky was just beginning to lighten over the quiet streets of the neighborhood. As he approached the reception desk, the night nurse yawned and asked sleepily what time it was. ‘9:05,’ he replied, handing her a large box wrapped in brown paper. Inside was nothing more than a dozen donuts.’ A regular,’ she muttered, smiling, as she began making coffee for both of them.

2. At midnight, when even the night owls had gone home, an orderly shuffled down the empty hallway of Naseby Medical Centre. Suddenly, he heard a faint humming sound coming from one of the closed rooms. Curious, he approached the door and peered inside—only to see a shadowy figure, bent over a chart, softly singing to himself. The orderly cleared his throat nervously and said, ‘Doctor? Is that you?’ The figure looked up, startled, revealing an old man in scrubs holding a coffee cup. ‘Oh,’ he exclaimed, ‘just Mr. Jenkins, the night janitor. I was just checking my charts for tomorrow.’ They both laughed, and as they left the room together, Jenkins muttered under his breath, ‘Guess I’ll have to work harder next time if I want to scare someone!’

3. At lunchtime, when nurses were rushing between patients, someone whispered, ‘Did you see who just left Naseby Medical Centre?’ Another nurse leaned in curiously. ‘No, who was it?’ she asked. Someone shrugged and replied, ‘Just some old guy in a tweed jacket—must’ve been a neighbor dropping off flowers.’ Everyone laughed, realizing they’d all been fooled by an anonymous act of kindness.
