Freeze
It was a house sports afternoon. Everyone was crowded in the gym to attend the games that were set up.
The gym was filled with all 400 students from grades 9 to 12 and split into four colors of the houses, red, yellow, green, and blue.
Each corner of the gym was clustered with a color of a house.
There were so many people around, the loud noises, the bright lights, people yelling over each other, the music, the crowds, the colors moving around... It was all too much.
Hugh began to shut down.
There were no thoughts in their mind, they stopped thinking.
So many people around.
They dissociated, nothing felt real anymore.
They felt nothing.
No thoughts, no feelings, nothing.
"Hey, Hugh. Hugh? Did you hear me?"
"Huh? What?"
"I was asking you if you wanted to participate in the tug-of-war."
"Oh no. I'm good." The kid answered in a daze not sure what the other kid was trying.
Their voice sounded distant like it was far, far away.
"Okay," their classmate said as Hugh stood there, still, watching them bounce away to join the line of people for tug of war.
