In The Dead of The Night

They came in the dead of the night. We didn't know they were coming, we had no warning. They trashed homes and killed many. The government had set up boundaries so no one could get out. My family and friends were all trapped. Their blood curdling screams were all you could hear for miles, then all of a sudden silence. Not the silence that allows relaxation, or a deep breathe of relief, the silence that makes your nerves go on and end and pumps adrenaline through your body knowing that these moments were your last.
