Noon
My working period ended at 5 in the afternoon, which meant five more hours of boredom. As if I wanted to do that. I got up out of my chair and went into the bathroom to browse social media on my phone. I hid in a stall, and locked the door so no one could see me. I pulled out my phone and got a text.
It was from a blocked number and it read...
Hiding in the bathroom, are we now? That's too bad, I brought my sharpest knife.
My skin crawled at the thought of someone, no, something following me with a knife. I was in such a panic that I nearly kicked the stall door of it's hinges and ran out of the bathroom back to my cubicle. Of course, people stared at me as if I was crazy....
But maybe I am? Maybe this is all my imagination or some elaborate prank? I thought.
5:30 PM
I had decided to stay after my working period ended because I wanted to finish up some work I had due the next day.
7:00 PM
It took me much longer than I expected to finish my work, but nevertheless, I had finished it. By now, the building was rather dark with only a few lights on so that I could see my work. The building had no security guard, but it was rather secure. I went about cleaning up my cubicle and getting ready to leave when my cubicle phone started ringing.
I picked up, of course, thinking it was a work related call.
"Hello?" I inquired.
"When are you coming home? I've been worried about not having any time to play..." The same raspy voice whispered over the line...
I slammed the phone down immediately and quickly rushed out of the building. Not knowing where to go, I got in my car and started driving in the direction of my house.
But then, what if it's there?
