I woke up this morning to an alarm, it stops. I suddenly hear a loud voice yelling from out of my door, "PHOENIX, GET READY FOR WORK!!!" I get up in a hurry, out of bed tripping over my dog.

I run to the bathroom and brush my teeth quickly as I can, I look at the clock and not much time is left. I quickly get on my uniform, rush down stairs, and grab a piece of bacon, "Bro, did you even brush your hair?" My room mate asks, "I'll do it when I get in work. Bye, Angelina." I give my dog a gentle kiss on the cheek and run out the door. Angelina, didn't have a place to stay so I said she can live with me for now until she finds a place.

I grab my keys and turn the car engines on, I step on the pedal almost getting pulled over. I walk as quick as I can slamming my car door and for some reason, I didn't even run.

I quickly go inside. I check in with my ID at the front desk and speed walk. I get to my cubicle and I take a seat. Other workers in my area are already working, I suddenly see my boss walk over here.*clears throat* I eventually meet his eyes, "Give me a good explanation why you were LATE!" I stutter not knowing what to say, after all, my boss is really strict! "I-i-wa-w-wa-ssssssss" I continued until I got interrupted by a nearby worker, "Boss, did you want me to file these or put them in one of those extra drawers?" This man, I never seen him before, he must have been new I thought. He had blonde hair that was almost white, about 6 feet tall, had glasses that weren't even on straight, and had an interesting outfit on, I knew he didn't know anything about this job after all, he did seem pretty dumb, "Okay you know what, I'm going to let you slide on this one but next time, your d-o-n-e..." My boss said, I was a bit afraid.

Later on, about 15 minutes later, I saw the same guy walk pass me, well not even pass me, but right next to my cubicle is where he was, he sat right next to my cubicle! I was so unpleased, I stood up but found myself dumbfounded, in my head I said, "Wait, I don't need to get up, I can just sit down and ask him." I said out loud with a strong voice, "Sir, what is your name?" He sat there, typing, I then looked on his screen and see him typing a story about why he wanted to have this job. He kept trying to type the word "Innovative". He didn't even have two words down yet! I guess I was right about him being dumb. Seemed he had a typo!

It was about time now he had typed the right word but still didn't. It had past about 20 minutes now and he still didn't type the right word, I suddenly hear a loud angry voice right next to me yelling, "NOOO!!!" I take a look over his computer and saw that it had lagged out. I tried to tell him to calm down but I knew that wasn't going to work so I had no choice but to tell him, "Dude, be careful boss is always watching us!" Somehow, that worked. I asked him politely, "What is your name?" He responded, "Alexander, Alexander Pulse." Eventually, his computer turns back on. We get back to work without a worry.

Even though I didn't want to be friends with him, we somehow became good friends. I helped him him type some words, I see him type the word strange but spelled it wrong, I told him, "Its with an G not an J." I spelled it correctly for him. About a minute later, something STRANGE happened, a guy throws a piece of paper at boss and soon enough a paper war starts and guess who was part of the war, BOSS! I didn't understand for a moment until I realized I had helped, Alexander, type the word strange, was that the problem that had caused the war? I told myself, "How is this possible?" I went back to what had happened to Alexander's computer, it was when he had a typo and his computer lagged out, it eventually turns back on and he types an action word, strange. I thought this wasn't the problem at first but what else could have caused this paper war? Nothing could have but Alexander's computer! I tell him to type the word rain, he asked why but I told him to, nothing happened but about a minute later, it had rained.

We found this unusual but we thought this was just a coincidence. Alexander, types the word barber, he typed that in because that used to be his job, again a minute later, a barber man shows up! I guess it doesn't have to be an action word. Maybe it can also be a person or something describing someone, or maybe a fake thing that comes to life. I didn't know what was going on.

I walk to the water jug to grab some water. I get some cold water and mix it up with warm so I don't get to cold and don't get to hot. I sit back down. I had to do paper work so I didn't know if anything else weird had happened. I see Alexander typing the word "Monster". I was really scared and worried this word would come to life. I wait for a minute thinking about what could have happened. Well, Alexander, was talking about a dream so hopefully it's just a dream that someone has! A minute had past... I was blank, I peek out of my cubicle hearing loud screams. The monster was there...
