28 Short Minutes

It starts out quiet, in your living room
An eerie noise, like children screaming
From couch to feet, to the window.

And it comes screaming by, all of it
The horror and awe of it
It stares you in the eye, as it passes
The fear is contagious....
So are they....

Out the door, faster, try faster...
The crowd is joined by the sudden upheaval
An upheaval that has the realization that all of this....

All of this is real, and that noise now is your screaming....oh God how you scream....

Panic.

Chaos.

28 long days....
