Normal day. Normal class.
Darkness.
Tension.
Cue abnormality.
Is everyone in the room?
Is the door locked?
Are the windows locked?
Nope.
In and Out.
In and Out.
In and Out.
Whsk.
...and Out.
Whsk.
...and Out.
Cower. Cower.
We could die.
I've made my peace with that.
It's just a fact.

Normal day.
Team's all here.
Pause.
Over the hill crest:
Piu piu.
Whsk wsk.
Dust swirls.
Small impacts creep closer.
To my right I hiss:
Get down.
You're dead.
I sink to the floor
And hope she did the same.
I feel someone nearing.
A pull at my hair (the little there is)...
Is that metal on my head... a small hollow circle?
Wait for it...wait for it...
Wait for it.
Nothing.
I'm alive.
I am calm.
And I wake up.
