"AHHHHHHH!!!!".

A huge shadow was cast out on the whole ground by the sunlight. It made the place so dark almost like dawn. All of a sudden the atmosphere started to turn chaotic. Everyone started to scream and run away from their seats. From students to parents to staff, people felt fear for their lives as it felt the same way as it would when the world knew it was going to end. I started to tremble, my body was uncontrollable at that moment, I started searching for my parents in the crowd. People running here and there no matter who they step on the ground. A great sound could be heard in the distance, it was the sound of the emergency alarm from several areas. I got to tense more now i started to scream for my parents,

"MOM!!!, DAD!!! WHERE ARE YOU??"

I tried to call my parents with my phone. But for some reason, the network was off, there was no signal. If I tried to call there was a message saying,

"ALERT!, ALERT, FOR YOUR INFORMATION ALL TELEPHONE SERVICES AND OTHER TECHNICAL SERVICES ARE CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE"

 All I could think about now was how could i get to my parents. Questions arose in my mind, are they okay? What if they got into a bad situation? What if they forcefully left the place without me? I know that they won't leave without me but I was traumatized. I ran all over the place and there... it was a huge tall structure-like thing, so wide it might reach about a few 100 meters. No one in human history might have seen such a huge extraterrestrial "thing".I couldn't guess what it could be, it was abnormal and unimaginable. It made a huge disturbing sound that might have been heard in the corners of the city. For some reason, I started to stare at it. It felt so mesmerizing, it made me somehow look at it again and again like a piece of diamond. At a moment I came out of the subconscious state and started to look around again. I came out of the college and started to run on the streets. Everyone got to know about the "thing" that is floating in the air a few 100 meters above the ground. I came to check the parking lot next to the college to see if my mum's car was over there. The car was there unmoved at the same spot and there was my father's car too that I came with. I began to wonder where my parents had gone. I had no idea and my mind was mixed with a lot of thoughts and questions. And then my friends got into my mind, I might get to know where my parents at and my friend's too. But my telephone services are completely unavailable. So started to run back to the streets to check if I got to know something about my parents and friends. There I saw the police patrols and military services patroling the streets all over the place. I couldn't get to them to ask about what was going on since they were moving. Then I heard this from a patrol car,

"ALERT!, for your kind information, everyone gather at the westside harbor of the city, we repeat, everyone gather at the westside harbor of the city"

I didn't get what they were trying to say but there must be something going on at the harbor. So I decided to get to the harbor first and I thought that it might be the place where my parents could be since they might have been forcefully taken to the harbor. But the difficult part was that the westside harbor is about 7 to 8 kilometers away from the college. So I was trying to find a way to get into the harbor as fast as I could. The streets were almost empty and ghosted, it seemed almost like people were forced to get to the harbor leaving their belongings and everything else they owned, almost everything. That gave me a feeling that this is all was preplanned and the government may have known about the "thing" before. And that thought gave me goosebumps all over my body like out of the blue moon on a regular life I couldn't even imagine something like this would have happened. I heard a voice a meters behind,

"timothy! Look around, it's me, Hailey"

That sweet sound gave me some relief in my soul. This was such a coincidence and I was in tears that somebody who knows me is with me now in this chaotic environment.

She continued, "Oh my god Timothy, what is even going on I'm scared I want to see my mum, I don't know where is she I'm so tensed".

she cried out. That was the first time I saw her cry, those sweet pairs of roses shed their petals for the first time.

I replied, "Just don't cry okay I'm here with you-(pause) "...she hugged me...
