Roulette

During your day, there are probably a half dozen moments where you can't see, if only for a split second. Not like blinking of course, that's far too quick. Just that moment when you're takinf off your shirt, or wiping your face with a atowel. That briwf instant where you're plunged into darkness. Everytime this occurs, you're playing a roulette. A game. Unbeknownst to you, of course.
Everytime that happens there is something waiting, eagerly, to pull you into that darkness. That only happens if you lose, of course. One day you might open your eyes to find that you're not where you were before. There are unsolved missing person cases every week. Those people? they lost.

Wristbands

 When you are admitted to a hospital, they place on your wrist a white wristband with your name on it. But there are other different colored wristbands which symbolize other things. The red wristbands are place on dead people.
There was one surgeon who worked on night shift in a school hospital. He had just finished an operation and was on his way down to the basement. He entered the elevator and there was just one person there. He casually chatted with the woman while the elevator descended.
When the elevator door opened, another woman was about to enter when the doctor almmed the close button and punched the button to the highest floor. Surprised, the woman reprimanded the doctor for being rude and asked why he did not let the other woman in.
The Doctor said "that was the woman I just operated on. she died while I was doing the operation. Didn't you see the red wristband she was wearing?"
The woman smiled, raised her arm, and said "Something like this?"
