lost bodies

It was 8:00 a.m. I was headed to my classroom to start another day in the sereal world of highschool.

I always thought that it was stupid to have a school built so close to a prison. Not
very safe I’ll say. But I also always knew something would happen one day. And today was that
day.

It was 8:15 a.m. There was no warning. The lights were turned out and we were all told to
go into our lockdown places. Normally you’re supposed to remain quiet during a lockdown, but
normally they’re just drills. I’ve been through enough of these things to know they are no joke.
I’ve been through real lockdowns. Thankfully no one was ever hurt. But this time someone one
was, well more than one actually. This man obviously had some sort of weapon on him and
somehow got into the school without being noticed, I don’t know how and I don’t want to know
either.

I was sitting in the back with my classmates, we had been sitting there for about five
minutes when we heard something like a balloon pop. One person.
No one dared to make a sound. Then another. Two people. It was about another five
minutes later before a shadow fell over the door. My teacher held the pair of scissors she had
so tight in her hand her knuckles were white.

Everybody was smart to keep quiet, except for
when he banged on the door very violently. The girl beside of me almost screamed but before
she could I covered her mouth and wrapped my other arm around her. I looked her dead in her
tear stained eyes as everybody else had teary eyes. No one knew what would happen.

No one
knew if today was their last. The teacher looked at us with love and for the short amount of time
that she turned to look at us, he came barreling through the door, a chair flew across the room
hitting my teacher in the head and she fell.

Three people. He stood there and just stared at us a
smile creeped on his face. He walked across the classroom, the smile never fading. I stood up
ready to protect my peers. The strangest thing was I wasn’t afraid. I didn’t know if I would make
it or not. This man was definitely filled with mental issues that no one could solve.

“I’m not going
to try and reason with you, I’m hoping you can do that yourself."
