It was a stormy night in summer. The rain was harshly drumming the windows of Bob’s office, who was taking a peaceful break from all this work and tiredness. It was just so tiring that he could just plop down onto his hard keyboard and still be able to go to sleep. He kept scolding himself that he should not go to sleep. Moreover, keeping himself awake by drinking. It was 11 o’clock at night, and the boss …show more content…
Stop that! I don’t like it!” “I am not doing it!” “Stop!!” Bob cried out so desperately. “I am not doing anything!!” Then, Bob and Richard saw what was written on the screen. I SEE YOU…. “Richard, are you doing this? Stop!” Bob was having too much of it. He wanted Richard to stop doing any of his pranks. “I AM SERIOUS! I AM NOT DOING ANYTHING! DON’T BLAME IT ON ME!? And by the way, computers don’t have eyes, they can’t see us! Stupid computer, pfff,” Well, Bob could see that Richard was also losing his mind. Then, the phone started ringing. That creepy sound of that telephone was just making me feel scared. That was when the lights came back on. “We have got to pick up the phone, man, Bob, you do it.” “Fine.” He wanted to show how strong and courageous he was to Richard. Bob picked up the phone.

In the same time, he bolted backwards and he broke the window that was blocking the room. He shouted to Richard: “RUN!!” They ran as fast as they could as if their bottoms were on fire. They ran through a bunch of offices and a bunch of other places. As they ran, Bob turned around and saw where this monster was. It was right behind them, and was chasing them with incredible speed. Destroying everything that was in his way, he had just made a big pathway in the office floor. “Quick, Richard, we have to find the keys to the main entrance and get out of this place!” “I know where the keys are!
