It was a normal day at the office,except it was a Sunday. Nobody really wanted to come to the office but our boss Josh forced us to come. Well not exactly forced us to come, he threatened us to fire us from our job if we didn’t show up that day. Only our team was asked to come. We had some work to complete because we had an important client meeting soon. Theo, as always was sipping his fifth coffee of the day from the office coffee machine. The boss shouting at Henry for being ten minutes late. Candice complaining that someone stole her sandwich. Peter is in the corner eating Candice’s sandwich. Carla was taking selfies in the office which led to the boss confiscating all our phones. Caroline staring at her computer looking like she is doing some work. “Caroline is playing Wordle”, Alex shouts out who is just Looking around the whole room. Henry came out of the office after thirty minutes. Now it was Caroline's turn for shoutings. "WHERE IS MY MUG" Theo shouted. “Oh, you don’t NEED another cup of coffee. It's only been like 45 minutes since you finished your last one” replied Candice. “But it was my favourite one” said Theo. “CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?” Theo yelled. “ASK NICELY” Replied Tony. “Can someone PLEASE help me? Is THAT fine?” “UGH FINE” Replied everyone in an annoyed tone. We searched everywhere. Henry even searched in the trash can thinking someone probably threw it annoyed by his coffee addiction. When we were searching for the mug there was a sudden power outage. We waited for 2 hours but the electricity was not back. “Someone call the electricity department.” Yelled Henry. “We can’t because JOSH confiscated all our phones and took it with him when he left the office.” Tony replied. “That’s it. I am going out and getting someone from the electricity department” said Tony. Tony was trying to open the door but he was unsuccessful.“CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?” Yells Tony. “I got you” said Peter. After sometime the whole office joins in but is still unsuccessful to open the door. We realized that we are locked in the office. A few hours passed. At this point we don’t know what time is it Some people falling on their knees crying their heart out thinking it is the end. Everyone is drinking coffee, banging their heads. “Calm down everyone, Calm down.” Tony repeating trying to calm everyone down. Some people are trying to find something to break the door with. Everyone are going crazy. Tony being the only responsible one is trying to find a window or something which will be useful for escaping. He found one but it was really hard to break. We tried everything. We hit it with plant pots, rods and also computers but nothing worked out. I tried to use a pencil and a pen to unscrew the panels but it didn’t work. We went to the storeroom in the third floor to find something to break the window. There was this strange Red button. Henry being Henry pressed that button. A strange azure color light appeared. Slowly Henry, Caroline and everyone got sucked into it. We woke up in a very unfamiliar place. “WHERE ON EARTH ARE WE!” Yells Tony. ‘’You are not on Earth.’’ Said a Creepy weird creature with the face of a horse but with a body of a chicken. “AHHH” “What on Earth is this?” Yelled Henry. “This is not Earth” That creature told. You are on a planet called ‘Yarthe’. "Fine! What on Yarthe is this" said Henry. “The people of Yarthe are in grave danger and only you can save them.” “Why us?” Asked Caroline. “They have the face of a horse and a body of a chicken do you think they can fight that giant monster made out of tins by themselves” Replied Tony pointing at a giant monster made out of tin with red eyes. “No offense” He added. “None taken” the horse face replied. “Those tin monsters are called meckles. They come from a planet called ‘Manluania’. They want to conquer our planet. Rumour has is it that they are going to conquer Earth next because it is the closest planet to Yarthe with life.” “How do you know English?” Alex asked. “Our ancestors visited all planets with life and learnt all of their languages. So we know languages from all other planets too" “Why should we save you! I just want to go home.” Said Carla “You have to save us to protect your Earth. If they conquer our planet they will come for Earth too, the only way to stop it is to make the population of meckles to go extinct. To do that we have to cut the power source. They use the power from a power source to live” “If it is that easy, why don’t you guys do it?” Asked Carla. “It is not that easy. A meckle which is more powerful than every other meckle is guarding the power source. One of you guys need to distract that meckle and the other one should turn of the power source While we fight the army.” “Sounds like a plan where is the power source and what does it look like?” Asked Tony “We don’t know, it is your job to find out.” “The army is coming.” “here take this these are some weapons that will help.” Said Horse face. "That does not sound like a plan." Said Peter “Come on let’s go we have to start somewhere” I said. We were heading straight down a really creepy path without knowing our destination. Suddenly a meckle showed up. Carla shot it with the laser gun that horse face gave us. It was not dead but it was badly injured. “This might help us” Tony said. “This meckle might help us track the power source.” We disassembled the meckle in a cave so other meckles do not find us. We saw a white branch like line coming out of the meckle. All of us followed the line. It stopped near a giant meckle. We figured that it was guarding the power source because it was giant compared to other meckles. Carla, Candice, Peter, Alex and Theo are constantly firing at the meckle and prompting it to come and get them. It worked, the meckle was after them now. Just as the giant meckle was about to get Theo, the rest of us cut the power source that was providing them power to live. Within two seconds all the meckles fell to the ground. The horse face came rushing towards us. He confirmed that all the meckles were dead. “how did we get here?” Theo asked. “Your office is in between the boundaries of Earth and some undiscovered planets.” Horse face replied. "So all getting locked up and pressing the button was your doing!" Tony exclaimed. "Yes" replied horse face before he took us somewhere and pushed us down. We were back in our office now. We went straight to the door and tried to open it and it opened this time. Everyone were so happy to get out of there. We told the story to our other colleagues, unsurprisingly nobody believed us. So this adventure will always remain a secret between the nine of us and Horse face.
