Chapter #6Evading Roll’s Broom by: irven   The blonde robot girl walked after you, sweeping her broom from side to side. You looked back over your shoulder as you ran away. She was getting closer, and the ground was shaking with each step of her boots, but she was obviously not going at top speed. She wanted you to have a chance with this game. Even so, just a simple walk for her was able to keep up with your running.
You got exhausted as you ran all around the lab. Sometimes, Roll caught up with you and lifted her broom, ready to swing it like a golf club at you. You were pretty sure she wouldn’t actually swing it that hard, but the thought of being hit by it scared you. However, by raising it up so high, she was obviously telling you what she was planning to do, which allowed you to dodge it whenever she swung it. Again, you guessed she was doing this on purpose, in order to keep the game fair.
The robot giggled as she kept coming after you. “Get back here, you... dust bunny!” she shouted playfully.
You chuckled at that. It sounded like a funny nickname for you. But you knew you couldn’t get distracted. Even if Roll was going easy on you, this was still a game, and you wanted to win. But how could you evade her? The room was pretty empty, and hiding under the table didn’t work very well. But you had one idea: maybe you could do something with the big machine off to the side, the one that opened the portal that brought you here. It was big and complex, so maybe you could find a little hole or something to fit inside, where Roll couldn’t get you.
You changed direction and dashed over there as fast as you could. The robot girl was surprised by your sudden burst of speed, but she still didn’t hurry after you. She kept going slowly, giving you an opportunity to do whatever you were planning. You made it to the machine and began running around it, looking for any spot where you could either hide inside or start climbing. At ground level, you saw the machine wasn’t smooth. It had found various little gaps and holes that a tiny person like you could fit inside. You didn’t waste any time squeezing into one of these parts, between two metal walls. It was a tight fit, but small enough that Roll probably couldn’t use her broom to get you out.
You felt the floor shaking again, and Roll’s giant red boot stomped down in front of the gap. She stood there for a bit, then backed off and kneeled down, tilting her head to peek into the gap. Her huge green eye came into view, and you heard her giggle.
“Good hiding spot,” she said. “I dunno if I can get you out of there.”
Roll began to reach for you with one finger, but you yelled, “Wait! I thought you were only going to use your broom!”
“Good point,” Roll said. “Watch out, you little dust bunny. I’m gonna give it a try!”
The blonde robot brought her broom over and tried to fit its bristles into the gap, while you backed up as much as possible...   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
