Michiko walked off the elevator and slowly marched down the hallway. Clutching a stack of white papers in her arms, she could only hear the sound of her heart beating in her chest. As she arrived at the doorway to cubicledesks, Michiko found her feet feeling as if they were being tied down. 


“Yesterday was a bit too much for me,” she thought to herself as she attempted to find the strength in her legs. “The boss is too strict. Way too strict! Tilly didn’t deserve all the yelling and screaming. He is only an intern. Interns should be allowed to make mistakes. Misplacing one small document shouldn’t be a reason to yell at him.”


Michiko took a deep breath and finally turned to enter the room. Her small sense of relaxation was immediately cut short. 


Floating in the air were multiple purple balls, no larger than a piece of candy, making the room appear as if it were a dream. The air felt heavy but there also seemed to be a strange breeze coming from nowhere. 


“What is going on…” Michiko thought to herself, “...this definitely doesn’t look normal…”


As Michiko continued to stare into the small, floating purple balls, she did not notice the fast approach of footsteps behind her. Before she had a chance to react, a large green hand grabbed one of her arms, pulling her to the ground. 


Panicking and scared, Michiko looked around to see who her attacker was. A large, purple monster stood over Michiko. Its body was completely covered with purple hair with only small green eyes poking through a thick patch of purple hair.

  1. Run away

  2. Call for help

  3. Defend herself with office supplies
