Rosalie Hale, despite what one could assume because of her looks, was one hard working woman with a bright mind. When she mentioned at home she was pursuing a degree in Journalism her parents were sure she would be a hit on TV because of said looks. And Rosalie, stubborns as she is, decided she was going to prove them wrong, choosing to work in places where her looks didn't matter.
At college, she worked at the college radio station. Mind you, she was mostly a 'coffee girl' or helping the technicians.
The past year and a half, she had been working odd jobs to make living when her chance to work at KDGM came. For the last six weeks, she was submerged in the world of a legendary radio station. People running from side to side, phones ringing, and that special buzz when the show you were working on got in the air. So when her boss told her she would work the night shift for a week, Rosalie felt she was failing at her new job. But the woman eased her mind by explaining that it was a really good opportunity to advance in her career. Not anyone had the chance to work with Eddie.
That was four days ago. This night she wasn't sure to see some progress. Sure, it was fun the first hour. While she was finding her way into the show. But now the few calls and almost non-existent tweets were making her doubt the show's success. Emmett told her things will get better the next day, once people realized Eddie was back. Then she will cry for help because she will be so busy she won't have time to go to the girl's room. But for now, she was bored.
"Are we supposed to remain here the whole night? What if I'm feeling hungry? " Rosalie asked, wanting to prompt a way to wander around the building. Anything to keep her mind occupied
Emmett hummed dramatically with a hand on his chin, then he turned on the intercom to call the interior of the booth. "Hey, Eddie"
"Hi, Emmett." Answered a velvety voice, which surprised Rose and Seth. Didn't old guys had a hoarse voice?
"Do you have a problem if we leave for ten minutes? I'd like to give the rookies the tour around this side of the station."
"Sure, no prob. Hi, guys! Welcome to the night shift."
Emmett made a sign for us to answer.
"Hmm, hi Mr. Eddie." Answered Serth with a timid voice.
"Good evening Eddie. It's a pleasure to work with you." Rose was more confident on her greeting. The voice was so soothing, Rosalie realized this guy must have had years and years of experience.
"The song is about to end. Guys, don't let Emmett bully you to buy him something from the vending machine. It has ages and it's probably rotten!" He chuckled along with Emmett.
"See, he's a nice guy. Now let's go. I'll show you the remnants of KDGM's old glory."

Hi!
Well, let me explain a few things about this story:
I'll post daily (one or two short chapters) until the 31st. Then there are two little outtakes, just to tie two loose ends.
At the end of each chapter, I'll share with you a few recommendations about horror films. I'll try to avoid the most famous ones. I'd love to hear your favorites too.
Now, the story is about a radio show (Curious data: There's a real 'hairy hand' show that has been going on for years, and it was the inspiration for the fic). So while I'm telling you the story, there will come five other stories told by the public (they're short and won't interfere with the main story, they'll be just calls from the public).
And lastly, I'm always for a HEA. So I'll tell you from the beginning: Because the main story of Bella and Edward happened in 1974, I swear they are together and happy but I can't promise you they are living-breathing creatures (I can't tell you more, but it's a happy ending).
So, if you're still with me, I'll see you tomorrow.
The recommendations of the day: Dark Disney!
Yep, before Halloweentown, in the 70s and 80s, Disney did creepy movies.
The watcher in the woods (1980): When a family moves to a country home, the young girls experience strange happenings that have a link to a occult event years past.
What can I say? One daughter seems sort of possessed, the other one sees weird things. One of my favorite movies ever.
Something wicked this way comes (1983): In a small American town, a diabolical circus and its demonic proprietor prey on the townsfolk.
There a lot of scenes at the fair that will scare you. Just creepy.
The black hole (1979): A research vessel finds a missing ship, commanded by a mysterious scientist, on the edge of a black hole.
Hmm, there's just one word: Maximilian. That robot gave me nightmares. But I was so happy with my Black Hole lunch box as a kid :)
