The sound of gunshots ripped past my ears. I have never felt so afraid and out of control. My eyes welled with tears before I even had a chance to comprehend the enormity of the situation. It was like the emotion broke the sound barrier of my understanding and I was shaking on the ground without a sense of cause.
Another shot pierced the silent halls of the school.
Why did it have to be today?
Why did it have to be my school?
Why did I have to be the only one to die?
