Ok here is my untitled work....
“Crunch.”
One bite was all it took to transform my school into a living hell. We been
here, living in the Science building, for a week. We lived off of what’s left
in the rooms and just about cleaned out the staff lounge vending machines.
We are
able to get outside contact by a TV and our cell phones. The local news said
that the government corralled the school so the disease wouldn't spread. They
say 437 living are trapped here out of 3,268 dead. I was able to contact some
of my friends in the other buildings. When they didn't answer, I decide to suspect
that their battery died.
We lost
6 living when they died trying to make bombs. A day ago, 9 living tried to find
a way out by the fence on the other side of school, but were unsuccessful. That
is the farthest anyone has gotten. That leaves 42 of us.
There is an idea going around that we should climb on the
roofs and get airlifted. I feel like most people outside rather have everyone
here be exterminated so this disease couldn't spread.
Others
talk about building hopping. It helps allows us to get an idea what the school
looks like and where we might get out. I will be going to the English building
tomorrow. They told us to bring any chemicals and anything that makes fire. I
am arming myself with a textbook and a bottle of acid. Wish me luck.
Cool! Have you submitted this to the contest yet?
ReplyDeleteyeah, but it doesn't close until Halloween and then there is the judging process.
DeleteIt was a challenge keeping it under 250 words. I would have worded it better and added a few things, but it taught me to KISS it (Keep It Simple Stupid). Also, so it would be easier for them to read through.
