Brock

A warm spring morning in salt lake city utah, a first year named Brock Williams is barely managing to keep his head up in class, it feels like he might catch at extra couple hours of sleep when he felt a tap on his shoulder, it was his friend Dan who he'd know since kindergarten, "hey! brock did ya hear?" Dan asked "hmm? about what" brock replied confused "what do you mean 'about what'?! you mean you didnt watch the news?!" dan yelled shocked "sorry man I've just been so tired lately" brock said as he yawned and leaned back In his chair so he could talk to dan who was behind him. "well I'll just tell you then, apparently that scientist guy, you know the one clint redwoo-" "yeah clint redwood the guy you wont stop obsessing over, the guy you keep sending me articles about" Brock interrupted dan, "y-yeah sorry about that its just that I'm very intersted in his study's ya know?" "yeah I could tell" brock replied "well anyway apparently no ones heard from him in weeks and they think something might've happened to him" dan spoke like he was a child telling a scary story "hey wasnet he trying to evolve himself enough to live in space? who knows maybe he succeeded and hes stuck out there" brock said jokingly "y-yeah maybe aliens abducted him and are doing experiments em!" "hey do ya think they'll stuck something up his *** like they do in the movies?" brock added as they both began to giggle.

30 minutes later

brock looked out the window as he watched the cars go by, he had a soft smile on his face remembering the first time him and dan had a sleepover, and how excited he was on the drive over to Dan's house. he lost his train of thought as something else caught his eye, he saw a helicopter... it kinda looked like an Apache helicopter just kinda hovering in mid air, moving slowly. every once in awhile itd sway to the left..... then the right...... the back to the left..... it seemed off and brock had a bad feeling In his stomach. "h-hey dan do ya see that?" brock asked as he pointed out the Apache just hovering "dont ya think its flying a bit too low" brock asked concerned "hey man you worry too much, I'm no expert on helicopters but I'm sure were fine" dan stated as he continued writing what was on the white board into his notebook. brock tried to return to doing his classwork since he was failing this class but the helicopter kept catching his eye, over and over again he'd stare at it almost as if it was a sign. a few more minutes passed and brock noticed the helicopter had gotten considerably closer without pulling up, brock wanted to tell dan but he also didnt want to bother him again "hey its fine... I mean it's a military helicopter with trained pilots I-I mean how could they not see a high school in broad daylight" brock told himself.

"they will pull up"

"they will pull up"

"they will pull up"

"they will pull up"

"they will pull up"

brock began chanting to himself in his head

brock finally snapped out of it and looked away from the window trying to ignore the oncoming aircraft. a few more minutes and it got even closer, at this point brock wasent the only one, most of the class was looking in horror as the helicopter slammed into the floor above brocks classroom with a loud and heavy boom. seconds before it hit brock panicked and went under his desk, he covered his head with his hands and waited.

the entire building shook as people let out screams and ran for the hallway, a large portion of brocks class ran into the hallway desperately trying to leave the school. brock didnt, he was too scared. the helicopter had slammed into the floor directly above brocks room, the roof was getting unstable as it collapsed, brock let out a terrified Yelp as the roof fell around his desk, a large chunk of roof and metal from the helicopter landed on the desk brock was under, the desks legs collapsed and the body hit brock in the head - knocking him out.

1 hour later

brock slowly opened his eyes as his vision was covered by smoke and debris, he got from under the collapsed desk as his eyes began to adjust to the suns light, he walked towards the door and into the hallway "h-hello? dan!" brock yelled as he began coughing from all the smoke in the air. his eyes hadn't fully adjusted the the light so he didnt notice the blood on the floor along with all the dead officers and soldiers that litter the hallways, by the time brock had walked downstairs and out the front exit his vision had finally come back, he looked in horror as there was nothing left, he finally could see all the destruction and bloodshed. as brock began to process what just happened to him he heard a noise, he jumped and looked towards the direction of the sound, it sounded like foot steps nearby. "hello?" brock said "who's out there?, can you tell me what happened?" "where are all the teachers?" brock asked. the footsteps stopped, brock was surveying the area closely as the noise picked up again, this time getting louder and faster as they approached him.
