Hullo, folks! Here's the next chapter! And at the end of this chapter, I've included a "small interactive game" for everybody to participate! I know interactive games aren't allowed but, just this once- only this small game after the chapter...
CHAPTER FOUR
Thud!
The folders have landed messily on my bedroom carpet.
Thud! Another thud, softer this time, when I flopped myself down the bed. The ceiling was illuminated by the bright lights shining on the four corners.
"I better get to work," I said, slowly slipping off the bed. My knees folded and my arse sat on top of them with my back resting on the bed's wooden base. At the lamp desk, a face glared at me from the screen. Such fiery eyes, I couldn't even tell what colour it exactly was. It was brown though, but some orange and red glinted around the chocolate pond and I was lost in the stare. There was a thin trail of smoke that wafted from his... I can't tell. His cigarette or his cup of coffee?
"Oh my god..." I mumbled when I've realised I had been staring. "Eric, this is no time to overcome your fear, please."
I opened the first folder and started to arrange the papers. Minutes dragged on but my movements were fast. My heart raced, still frightened of the face peering over at me from the lamp desk. Yes, it's been three months but I can't seem to get over being scared by him. Maybe it's because he's a powerful man. Yes, he was so powerful, that's it.
That's all.
Soon, three folders were done and sorted. I decided to drink water and when I came back, I dropped myself on top of the bed. My hand instinctively reached for my phone.
His face was close to mine and I've got to admit it, I have a rather handsome boss...
It was just 9:45 pm. I could still take a few-minute break. I created an alarm. I just need to rest... ten minutes...
Ten minutes only...

Bells rang softly in the snowy landscape. I was in front of an old house that was painted blue. The sound seemed to be from the inside. I pushed my way past the door. A neat and empty kitchen welcomed me. The sound was definitely louder inside.
"Hullo?"
There was no reply.
I continued to make my way inside the seemingly abandoned house, bravely opening doors and checking out the interior. There was this one door where I had to lean all my weight on just for it to creek it open.
Inside was...
A bed...
The piercing loud sound of the bells...
And my brother.
I woke up on my bed.
"Shit!" I exclaimed as I saw the time and the bright sun beaming at me.
WALTER: OKAY, LET'S START THE GAME!
