A small town school in Middle-of-nowhere, Tennessee. We get out early due to a tornado warning, so we prepare to leave at one pm. Lunch time! I´m so hungry. But right as i turn the corner, i hear alarms. My smile drops and my tear ducts fill and i am suddenly afraid for my life.
Why is this reality? Why does a once harmless, but annoying, fire alarm terrify us? My friend who is usually not very lovey and not very touchy grabbed my arm and said ¨i am scared.¨ I used to find it easy to just fall into the mindset of, ¨it´ll never happen to me.¨
But what if it does? who says it wouldn´t? Two threats this year, one threat last year, so many false alarms and close calls but what are we doing?
