Secret Room So I found a secret room at work the other day, it's not even on the building plans. It looks like it leads into another meeting room - but it doesn't.→[More:]

The best part about it, (other than the fact it's a whole FREAKING SECRET ROOM) is that the NaNoWriMo novel I'm incredibly behind in is about secret rooms!

Imagine for yourself what was inside.

I'm guessing the following:

a. a little man in a wrinkled suit sitting at a wooden desk circa 1905. He greeted you with a cheery, "Why HELLOOOOO there!"

b. same as a., above only there were fifteen little men and they were quite a bit littler.

c. A room with many doors, and while you stood there, you popped out of one, did a double-take at yourself, knowingly smiled, and then exited through a different door.

Did it contain a miniature model of your office building?

I'd leave a note or something in there. Just in case.

Move your desk in there. A room that nobody knows exists sounds like the perfect office.
