Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-31749612-20170704200042/@comment-28718853-20170719154317

I get silent and slip under my cubicle. In a few seconds, the footsteps pick up again. "Come out come out wherever you are!" the voice coos. I don't respond, and I don't move from my hiding spot.

A loud buzzing causes me to jump slightly, and I see a figure in red, black, and gray fly overhead. Definitely a Vamp Mosquito. I knew that I needed to get out of here. My company's insurance policy didn't cover maternity leave, and I was in no mood to impregnate a Vamp Mosquito.

I hear the girl land a fair distance away, and I crawl out from under the cubicle. I could see the door ahead, and luckily, you could use the knob to both lock and unlock from inside. To get in from the outside required a key. I began a slow crawl to the door as I listened to the Vamp Mosquito search for me on the other side.

"You can't hide from me forever honey!" she sings. We'll see about that you bloodsucking parasite.

The Vamp Mosquito thankfully stayed on the other side of the office, allowing me to reach the door. I reached out and grabbed the knob, twisting it slightly. There was a small *click* and I heard the door unlock. So far so good, unfortunately, it nabbed the attention of my hunter. "Hey!" she shouts as she zips across the cubicles toward me.

I tear open the door and step through, slamming it shut behind me. I rush down the hall as the door bursts open and the Vamp Mosquito screams, "Come back here!"

I hear her buzz behind me as I turn a corner and hop into the men's restroom. Without a second thought, I run into one of the stalls and lock myself in there. I stand on the toilet seat, even though it probably wouldn't do much since that insect girl could just fly in and rape me.

As I spent my time in there, I began to think of a plan. This building had elevators, but the Vamp Mosquito would most likely intercept me at the bottom floor if she figured out where I was. That left the staircase, where if she tried to cut me off, I could at least go through the door and continue my descent.

I waited for almost ten minutes in that stall. To my amazement and surprise, she didn't come in. She must have missed me entering the restroom.

A few minutes later, I exited the stall, then I made my way out of the restroom. A pair of hands grabbed my arm, who belonged to none other than the Vamp Mosquito. "Gotcha!" she shouts as she attempts to bite my arm. Before she can, I use my free hand to push her head back and I break out of her grasp. She flies at me, but I push her away and make a run for it.

"Come on, I just want a taste of your blood!" she whines playfully as she pursues me. I turn another corner and I see the door to get on the staircase ahead. First, I was going to have to shake off my pursuer who was gaining on me.

I notice a snack room on the side and enter it. "Are you trapping yourself again!?" she calls out to me as I grab a bag of tiny marshmallows and slide under the table. She appears at the doorway and she stares at me with those lustful eyes and that eager grin. "You're an idiot, you know that?" she asks as she reaches under the table for me.

I scramble back out and stand. "I have you now!" she shouts as she charges across the table at me. I sidestep her charge and fling the bag at her. It hits her square in the face, stunning her enough for me to run out and shut the door behind me.

With minimal time to spare, I run over to the other door and step out onto the staircase. I hear the snack room door burst open outside, but I'm already descending the staircase.

The way down looked clear for the most part. I had made it down to the 17th floor when I heard the Vamp Mosquito's voice call out to me from above, "You're really starting to piss me off now!"

The choppy sound of her wings buzzing take up the staircase as she slowly drifts down the center toward me. I try to open the door to floor 17, but the door wouldn't move. Then I remembered with a facepalm, that the lock on the door was currently broken.

I race down to the 16th floor and thankfully, its door swung wide open. I stepped through and shut it, running into an area with cubicles. If I wanted to have a clear way down to the bottom floor, then I was going to have to throw her off of my trail again.

I slide under one of the center cubicles just as the Vamp Mosquito steps in. "Awww...not this again!" she whimpers. I hear her signature buzzing and see her make several passes across the cubicles. "Come on out you coward!" she shouts, anger rising in her voice.

I hear a phone ring, and the Vamp Mosquito says, "What the hell?"

Deciding to risk being spotted, I roll out from under the cubicle and stand to see what she's doing. She is standing a few cubicles down with a phone to her ear, back to me. "No uh...who the hell calls for a pizza this late at night!?" she barks into the phone.

Opportunity present, I slip out of the cubicles and back toward the staircase.

"No, I am not Dina Watterson!" I hear the Vamp Mosquito scream as I reach the door and open it. I step onto the staircase and head down, all the way to the ground floor. With a sigh of relief, I make my way toward the exit and step out into the pouring rain.

I could see my white two-seater car sitting alone in the parking lot. I run on over and use my keys to unlock it. "Hey, come back here!" the Vamp Mosquito screams. I look up and see her running through the downpour trying to get to me, her wings too drenched from the rain to allow her to fly effectively.

She made it several more steps until she tripped and fell onto the asphalt. She looks up to me and screams, "Don't you run from me now!"

I shake my head and tell her, "I'm going home now ma'am, have a nice night."

With that, I get into my car and drive off. In my side view mirror, I can see the Vamp Mosquito bawling along the parking lot, clearly upset with having lost her catch. If she was smarter, she would have gone after those gas station employees who work the night shift.
