On The Other Side Of The Door

The News

Fiona-Hey, did you hear about the school shooting in Chicago?

Brooklyn-No? What shooting?

Fiona-It's all over the news! A man in all black pretended to be picking up their child from school. Claiming that they called him saying his son was sick.

Brooklyn-Tell me more..

Fiona-He then asked to go to the washroom. The security said yes. He left the entrance and went towards the bathroom. When the security turned around, he went and found the power box.

Brooklyn-Wow. How did he know where it was?

Fiona-People think that he used to go to that school, but they don't know for sure. Anyways, he pressed a button, turning off all the lights in the entire school.

Brooklyn- Wait. Was this near our neighborhood?

Fiona- I'm not sure. But, the man can travel so...

Brooklyn-Guess I'm not sleeping tonight..

Fiona-Same! Anyways, the security guard immediately went to the office. He asked the office people about the man's "son." The office people said there were no kids waiting to go home at the moment. The security then realized that he had been lied to.

Brooklyn-I'm surprised I haven't heard about it yet...

Fiona- Same again. Get ready for a long text...

Brooklyn-I'm always ready!

Fiona- Here it goes...Then, there was a loud bang. The office quickly called for a lock down. Teachers locked the doors, kids hid in the corners. The principal called the police. The security decided that he should try to find the man. So, he went towards where the bang came from. The man slowly opened the classroom door to get out. He saw the security guard walk towards him. He took out his gun and shot him. The man dashed through the halls and ran out of the building.

Brooklyn-Brb. Someone just rang the doorbell.

Fiona-WAIT! DON'T OPEN IT!

Brooklyn-What? Why?

Fiona-PLEASE! JUST DON'T.

Brooklyn-Ugh. Fine. But, if I get a lecture from my mom about not opening the door for her, I'm going to blame you.
