Escape

  I can't believe this has happened. It was just a normal day at school.Everything was so familiar, but in an instant that changed. One minute I was sleeping, and the next I’m awakened by drips of blood falling on my face as my best friend is being eaten alive by those  creatures. I was shocked by the scene as any normal person would be. Before she died she told me to run She told me to get out of there before they could get me too, and that’s what I did. I fled, and I didn’t care for her in that moment. All I cared for was my survival. I left her there to die alone. As I was running I saw so many teachers, students, and staff that have turned into those things. Then a thought popped into my head. What if they reached my family? I suddenly felt a rush of determinations I had to save them! All of the sudden I felt a searing pain on my arm. I turned to see a creature with a large chunk of flesh in its mouth it was still connected by a few veins and pieces of tissue. I blacked out after that and didn’t get to see what happened next. That’s probably when you guys found me and brought me here. Elyse smiles at the prisoner next to her. What’s your story?
