Mrs Baker - True Story Contest

Was a dark and spooky night Was on night duty at an old hospital The ward was new to me Geriatric ladies who were poorly I ran myself  ragged answering the bells Except for one old dear who just lay there and smiled I would ask is everything  ok anything you need I am fine dear she always replied Time came  for the hand over  The day staff had arrived Went  through the names reporting  on each Til i came to Mrs Baker the staff looked perplexed Ar you sure of the name they asked in unison Of course i replied bed no 4 She's been  a sweety no trouble at all Staff they said we have no one of that name I went to the bed it was empty except For a slight indentation in the sheets I looked , they explained, Mrs Baker Had died ten years ago, was happy there Now and again she came back for a visit I hope I will meet her again.
