Lockdown
Posted on
The stormy clouds have come together and started to snow. At first it started with a few flakes and made a crescendo to fifty flakes at a time filling up the yard with sixty inches of snow. It felt like it was raining really cold fluff that splattered the ground with snow.
We were at school while the snow kept falling. Lockdown was more like it. Everyone cuddled in their jackets and friends. They were cuddling but they were not talking so there was nothing but an eery silence throughout the halls.
Gazing out to see when they could go home, the students all found that the cars were buried in white fluff. There was nothing but white fluff outside. It was as if all of the school grounds were deserted with white fluff and everything inside of them.
It was dark and cold inside. The power had gone out because of all the snow. I could feel the dead, cold breeze from outside.
“Noo!”, someone howled into the intercom.
Everyone stirred uncomfortably as they heard the message, clear throughout the hallways.
The next sound that came from the intercom proved that we had heard right.
There was a gunshot.
