I sit in class, wishing it could end. 

Time’s up! I pack up, but our teacher stops us. 

“No leaving!”

“We’re in a lockdown. Lock your doors and stay out of sight until further notice.” 

Lockdown, a routine. Kids huddle, teacher locks. Silence. 

Today, different. Not a drill. Fear creeps in, silence suffocates.
