Can you share some likely stories about closing time in different places?

One likely story could be about the last customers leaving a store at closing time. Maybe there's a tired cashier who has to deal with a difficult customer right before closing, causing a bit of a commotion.

Yes. One positive school closing story is when a school closed for a renovation. The old building was in bad shape and needed major upgrades. When it reopened, it had state - of - the - art facilities, better classrooms, and improved technology for teaching. The students were excited to return to the new - look school.

The Stanley Hotel in Colorado is also well - known. It inspired Stephen King's 'The Shining'. Guests have reported strange noises, doors opening and closing on their own, and seeing apparitions. Some say they've felt a cold presence in certain rooms, as if being watched by unseen entities.

Well, at a real estate closing, the buyer brought a really large family with them. There were so many people in the small closing room that some had to stand. And the kids were running around being noisy. But when it came time to sign, one of the kids accidentally knocked over a glass of water onto the papers. Everyone panicked for a second, but then just laughed it off as they dried the papers.

Sure. There was a restaurant where on closing day, they gave away all the remaining food for free. People lined up outside, not just for the free meal but also to say goodbye. The chef came out and told everyone about his favorite recipes and how he started working there.

I know of a real estate closing where the power went out suddenly. So, they had to finish the closing using the flashlight on their phones. The agent was trying to read all the legal jargon in a spooky flashlight - lit room. It was quite a comical situation, and they all still managed to get everything done.

Since I don't have detailed knowledge of this book, it might include stories that revolve around the concept of 'closing time' which could be the end of a day, the shutting down of a business, or the conclusion of a relationship. And the 'other stories' part could be a collection of different short tales that are related in some thematic way, like all being about human emotions during different types of endings.

One horror story is when a couple was buying their first home. They were told the closing costs would be around $5,000. But at the last minute, there were all sorts of unexpected fees. It turned out to be over $10,000. They had to scramble to find the extra money or risk losing the house they had dreamed of.

There are also abandoned military bases. The big story behind them could be the end of a military mission or a change in defense strategy. For instance, a base that was built during a cold war might be abandoned when the political situation changes. These bases are full of secrets and stories of the military past. They are often left with old equipment and structures that are slowly deteriorating.

Sure. In one instance, the home inspection report was misfiled. At closing, new issues were discovered that should have been addressed earlier. The buyer was furious as they thought everything was in order. This led to a very tense closing meeting with the seller trying to shift the blame.
