Columbine

by Amanda L Marron

Not knowing where you are,
I am scared
I am hiding from you
I do not wanna die
You have a gun
I hear a pipe bomb go off
I start to cry
We hear your footsteps
As you come down the hall
Oh no, there is another bomb
Your footsteps are getting closer
I huddle in a corner
Hoping that if you come, you will not find me
Oh shit, you are at the door
People are trying desperately not to be seen
In fear of dying
You turn toward the opposite end of the room
You have set you eyes on someone
Cassie
She is trying not to be seen
You drag her out from under the table
You glare at her
She looks back, trembling with fear
Everyone is silent
You ask, Do you believe in God?
The whole room waits in anticipation of her reply
Yes, we hear her say
All of a sudden, bang!, you shoot her
Everyone starts screaming
You start shooting
Everyone is panicking
You do not happen to see me
When you run out of bullets you leave
We wait for wait seems like an eternity
Blood is everywhere
Finally the SWAT team gets to us
And all of us are in shock
After it all, we found out, we lost 12
Why did this have to happen?
What possessed Eric and Dylan to make them do this?
That is something we'll never know

wow, it sounds like you were there. whether or not, you're putting your readers there. you really get into the visceral heart of situations in your writing.
