15 minute writing

Involve more than 2 people doing something from two point of view. ( Narrative Piece)

First piece :

The man peered left, and right, up, and down, making sure nobody was aware of his presence. Step by step, cautiously, he tip-toed his way through the middle section of the Marina Office, eyes switching gazes. All he knew he had to take the Rouble Document, an ancient and preserved document known to contain all the bank account numbers. Fraught with obnoxious greed, he had agreed to undertake the up-heaved task of betrayal, satisfying himself only. He sneaked his tiny yet agile frame timorously in the rooms, searching for the Document; he knew the CEO had left it somewhere. The fans stayed stagnant still, the walls carrying a seemingly terrifying banner of warning.

The sepulchral quietness was not of comfort; he had to make specific sounds and idiosyncrasies to relieve the crushing fear and trepidation that phenomenally re-captured his being. He knew he had to do this quick and fast, but at the same time, he had two twitches. He started to regret his actions and question himself for such a greedy cause. He also started to suspect someone following him.

His heartbeat accelerated; his heart palpitated furiously against the sheer vulnerability of his ribcage. The silence was broken. He heard a small, timid squeak from behind. Was it a mouse? Was it a cat? A human? He could never ascertain. All he was sure of , was his determination to fulfilling his ennui and inner weariness of money/gold. He edged towards the CEO's room, then proceeded to the manifold drawers which loomed and leered towards him, pressurising him. At the same time, he was oblivious to a muffled scream and light footsteps tailing him. He continued his search, smirked, and brushed off his fringe. As he was scrambling and searching tediously for the Document, he did not see a tumbled dustbin lying on the floor; it seemed like a ferocious tiger. Unconsciously, he stepped on it, and fell on his back with a huge thud. He moaned and groaned, getting himself back to his feet. He turned back, and spotted a teenage girl. They both screamed......

Second Piece

She was punished by her father, the CEO of the Marina Office Club; she had to stay up in the office for one night, as a severe and mental punishment. Kneeling on the carpeted and blanketed floor, her thoughts turned wild and all over the place. She had never felt this scared and lonely.

She heard a footstep.

Out of curiosity, she got up, and looked around, trying to find any perpetrator. Suddenly, a middle aged man appeared, seeming rather panicky, tip-toeing through the office. She determined to follow him, and trusted her instincts that she was up to no good. All the while tracking him was petrifying. She had to control her screams and manage her impulse.

When she noticed he was approaching her father's room and drawers, she whipped out her handphone, and attempted to dial for her father. After awhile, she saw, right before her very eyes, the intruder tripping over a dustbin. Giggling, she tried to hide herself, and connect the phone call. But she was too late; he had turned behind already. In shock, she screamed when she noticed who the 'intruder' was.
