[The school is empty. The school is quiet. The only sound that cuts through the silence is the soft ticking of the hallway clocks that mark the passing of each second.]

[. . .]

[At least. . . until a stiff breeze whips through the classrooms, scattering dirty papers and jerking the curtains aside. The clock strikes 6:00 a.m.]

[The school bell chimes.]

[sometime after he has been tended to, his bleeding wrists and ankles bandaged with torn strips of fabric]

Uuuuh huh. . . I bet that feels cathartic!

[faultlieswith]

It does.

[ Harumph. ]

But it doesn't actually help with anything. Least of all figuring out how the hell we're still alive.

[ordimame]

. . . so it got you too, huh?

[a bit wry, but not unkindly so. empathetic. understanding]

[faultlieswith]

... yeah.

[ Ishmael will gladly accept wry empathy. ]

We tried to mount a defense, but it tore right through it all. I imagine it was similar for you.

[ordimame]

[gods]

We didn't even try that much. Too busy frantically searching.

[and. . . coming up empty. . .]

[faultlieswith]

[ She shrugs. ]

No shame in focusing on searching. Like I said, all we managed to do was waste time and energy with it.

[ordimame]

[. . . a little grumble]

I heard it was in the teacher's podium.

[faultlieswith]

I heard that, too. We never even got close to the damn thing before it struck.

[ grumble grumble lucky bastards who found it. ]

[ordimame]

[he hates this for her group but it kind of makes him feel better to know his was not the only one that failed. . .]

. . . it crossed our radar. . . briefly.

[thinking back to their tall guy talking about how the teacher usually has the keys]

But we didn't follow through.
