Hostile Takeover
Day 4
It's quiet now. I don't trust it. I've been hiding out under my desk recovering from yesterday's skirmish. I must remain vigilant, suspicious of the calm.
Day 7
An unsuspecting intern rounded the corner with a foolishly optimistic pep in his step. The hail of darts corrected this oversight almost immediately. I watched the hope drain out of his wide, gaping eyes as he lay motionless on the floor by the copier. A pool of coffee welled up around his body. For a moment, I felt a twinge of something indescribable. Pity? Relief? Nostalgia? I don't know really.
Day 18
I'd been out of Diet Coke and pretzels for 2 days. I had no choice but to risk a trek down to the vending machine. But, the break room was heavily fortified by the HR guys. And everyone knew those soulless killing machines made even the sharks in Legal look like Boy Scouts. I was dodging shots from all directions. Diving and somersaulting around the lunch tables. I managed to score 2 granola bars and some iced tea before bailing out... I took 3 darts to the leg. It's bad. I might lose it. Can't think about that now though. Just gotta rest...
Day 20
I struck up an alliance with the IT troops two cubes down. I trust them about as far as I can throw em, but their stockpiles of Funyuns and Energy drinks sure do compliment my now impressive dart cache well enough. And we'll need all the supplies we can get. Word in the hallway is that Management will be descending any day now. Leg still throbs whenever I move, but it doesn't look like it wants to turn.
Day 23
I've never seen anything like it! Never! Peeking out over the tops of the wrecked monitors and chairs, more foam than air in the room! God you should have seen it. We took out 9 of those smirking jackals from Management. I'll never forget the look of shock and disbelief on the face of The Director when I let loose my last dart right between her eyes. HaHA! *cough* *cough* God it's so cold now. I can't feel anything below my chest. *cough* Shouldn't be long I suppose. Though... strangely... I just feel... peaceful...
I don't regret anythi--
