suddenly the light went out
Everything was normal while we sat there typing up our embarrassing story when the announcement came. “this is not a drill students we have an escaped convict running through the halls!” our principals voice yelled louder than we have ever heard it. Suddenly the lights went out and everyone ran to the cloak rooms most silently the rest whispering in hushed voices. I sat hearing some voices say “this is it bye.” But all I could think was no not yet. That’s when we heared the gunshot fire. I remembered Ella a quiet, shy, kind girl, had gone to the washroom minutes before and stared in horror as blood pooled under the door.
