This is one of the short stories in Form 4 Literature Component. My class was asked to post the synopsis in our blog.
-Lucy Beck was a young girl who had graduated from Belmont Secretarial College. While her other friends had pass with many 'O' levels, she got only one. Her typing was very slow and she was not confident in getting a job. So, when she was offered a job as a secretary at Ross and Bannister's, she was quite shocked and excited.
On the first day of work, she came to her office early and was given some strange advises from Harry Darke, the office's worker. While she was doing her work with the typewriter, she felt something strange happened to the typewriter. When she looked at the paper, she saw the letters 'QWERTYUIOP' were repeated over and over. She ignored it at first but then, threat-like words appeared on it. She was scared as the words were like they were written by some angry person. She braced herself up and wrote a reply with the typewriter. She found out that there was a spirit in the typewriter named Miss Broome. Miss Broome was once a secretary at the office but she was fired after forty-three years of work due to her health problem. Miss Broome was loved her job so much she didn't want anyone to replace her even after she was dead.
Lucy asked Harry Darke about Miss Broome and he answered all she needed to know. Lucy wanted to keep her job so badly as she was fed up of being poor. When she used the typewriter, she typed 'QWERTYUIOP' many times so Miss Broome would 'talk' to her. She persuaded Miss Broome to leave the typewriter and rest in peace. Lucy wrote that Mr. Bannister missed Miss Broome so much and he didn't want her to leave but her health worried him. Finally, Miss Broome left the typewriter and Lucy managed to keep her job.
