this is something you guys have been requesting the hell at it for a long time it took a lot of time but I finally found three stories that take place during school lockdowns it was a typical boring day in calculus only it was Friday seventh period meaning the week was almost over and Spring Break would finally be upon us so everybody was getting antsy in their seats I could tell we didn't have a test that day like a lot of my friends did with their other teachers so our teacher in the middle of class just
decided to start playing games with us on sparkle calm he was a very laid-back teacher like that as we were doing some brand logo quiz on sparkle I remember the exact moment it happened right after my friend answered a question I remember the exact answer to adidas the Dean's voice came through the loudspeaker he sounded panicked and frantic as he told all the teachers this was not a drill and to go into lockdown I actually got the chills and I got goose bumps on my arms as our usually laid-back teacher too seemed panicked as he
ran to turn off the lights and ushered us to the back corner of the room we all sat in silence for about two minutes and then the usual buzzing that came from a panel in the back of the room seized indicating that the school must have cut all the power we all looked at each other realizing this must be serious a few more minutes of waiting later we heard a man screaming at the top of his lungs coming down the hallway two girls in the class actually started crying which made all of us even more
scared as the screaming got closer to the classroom the lunatic sounding man started banging on the lockers while screaming I'll kill all of you it was at that moment that I started to fear for my life my teacher shush to us as we all looked at each other to see our peers reactions the banging then moved from the lockers to our classroom door and that's when one of the crying girls screamed no the banging on the door only grew worse as the man started screaming open up two of the girls in the class were crying
out loud now it felt like an eternity that that man was pounding at the door but eventually he finally continued down the hallways screaming like a mentally insane person until we could not hear him anymore I'd say ten minutes later though it felt like half an hour given the situation the Dean came back on the loudspeaker explaining the situation which was surprising for him to do he explained that some apparently mentally unstable person entered the building and assaulted the woman sitting at the front desk causing her to flee the building screaming and staff wasn't sure
if the man was armed or not now this was before the school had cameras or could afford proper security so the school was wide open to something like this happening the staff had done a sweep of all the hallways and classrooms and couldn't find him so the Dean instructed the teachers to resume teaching but to keep all the doors locked and to not let any students leave for any reasons the most disturbing part however is that one of the janitors working the night shift found the man sleeping in one of the storage closets near the
back end of the school and according to rumors that were spread by my peers sticking out of his pocket was a 44 Magnum the janitor must have done something stupid to wake him up for example leaving the closet door open because by the time a police officer could arrive on the scene the man was gone my entire class as far as I know to this day has no idea if this man was ever found but I like to think that right now he's being given the proper help that he needs my school has to lunch
periods first lunch period is for all sixth graders and some seventh graders the second lunch period is for the other half of the seventh graders and all eighth graders the lockdown happened in the beginning of October the day the lockdown occurred it was overcast and rainy during the fresh lunch period I heard four loud booms I personally thought it was thunder but the entire lunch crowd started screaming I was thinking those kids were just serious [ __ ] but the campus security came in and started yelling at people to go into the multi-purpose room and
the kids who were in line buying lunch had to throw out their lunch and come inside me and some friends went inside the room along with a huge group of other kids everyone was curious as to what was happening our multi-purpose room is huge and the back wall of the room is made of see-through glass when me and my friends were rushed inside the campus security was covering the glass with the curtains and there were adults at every exit my friend Erik was curious as well as the rest of us so he asked one of
the adults what was going on when he came back he said you know how right in front of TMS there's those houses I replied yeah there's this mentally disabled crazy man that barricaded himself in front of his house and he's threatening to commit suicide and kill the cops if he's evicted he was walking around outside of school watching kids in a weird way Eric told us it turned out the man was also a registered sex offender making matters worse we were stuck in the multi-purpose room for a whole hour taking up two periods after the
whole thing was settled we were escorted to our classrooms one by one I later found out that the man lives next to my friend Brandi who told me about the previous Halloween when she saw the same man at his window cutting his arm and writing in his own blood don't come here or I'll kill you on his wind of course being Halloween people including brandy assumed it was just for the holiday but after this horrific incidents we knew this man was mental and we're glad he never got near us I'm 22 years old fresh out
of college and I recently got a job at my old high school as a sort of computer intern in the school basement the basement of the school is very messy and disorganized but there is a small three-person office that's actually very nice down there it has three nice big desks two mini fridges a flat-screen TV mounted on the wall and also satisfying air conditioning a luxury the students and teachers cannot enjoy in the school and of course all the school servers and other computery stuff I got the job because three of my old computer teachers
flat-out adored me I could actually consider them as real friends not just teacher figures so they all helped tremendously in landing me this job it's been great until something that happened a few weeks ago my two co-workers that share the office with me Dave and Gary weren't in the office at the time they were upstairs working on papers or whatever I was eating my sandwich during my lunch break when I got a phone call from one of the women in the front office telling me the school was on lockdown and that somebody possibly armed had
entered the school there wasn't much that I could do other than turn off the lights because surprisingly as nice as this little office was it didn't have an actual door to it just a big opening and the door to the whole basement didn't even have a working lock for my own safety I did turn off all the lights in the office and my computer screen I kept my phone on the desk texting bulk Gary and Dave but they wouldn't respond I sat down there in the dark playing games on my phone for like 20 minutes
waiting for the call from up front to tell me to resume working I had no idea what was happening I couldn't hear what was going on upstairs from down here but I was not allowed to make any calls until I was informed that the lockdown was over then the noisy basement door opened as the creaking echoed across the basement and into my office I sat up for my seat wondering if I should call out Gary or Dave I was eager to get some info from them someone then came running down the stairs and their footsteps
were approaching my office I pushed away my chair and crawled under my desk somebody entered the office but did not turn on the lights there was just silence I can't even describe the fear I was experiencing I felt like if I made one sudden noise I'd be a dead man suddenly my phone dinged as I got a text message I felt my entire world shrivel up and die at that one moment as i clenched my teeth and fear footsteps suddenly moved closer to me until I finally dug out from under the desk in capitulation begging
whoever it was not to kill me and just then someone grabbed my arm and pulled me up it was some guy in a red plaid button-up jeans and a reddish black cap he told me it's okay I'm just down here hiding with you what's going on up there I whispered to him he kind of ignored my question and asked me if there's an exit down here I told him yeah around that way before he could do anything else I asked him who are you there was a brief moment of silence before he started explaining he
was coming in to pick up his son when a teacher told him to hide after his explanation I checked my phone and saw the text I received was from Dave it said dude this is [ __ ] crazy some guy with a gunshot mr. Buckley he's wearing a red shirt in the Hat whatever you do don't come upstairs I was about to reread that text out loud to the man until I realized I looked up and felt my stomach sink the man seemed to catch on to my suspicious stare panicking all I could think to
do was to run for the upstairs a gunshot echoed through the basement and I could hear the bullet ricochet off something metal in the darkness but thank God that bullet missed me and I made it upstairs fortunately police were waiting at all exits including the basement exit and called the man the second he opened the door more good news our teacher mr. Buckley survived the gunshot it was later determined that the man and mr. Buckley had some beef for whatever reason but that was never revealed all we know is that mr. Buckley couldn't have done
anything that would have warranted this kind of reaction and I know that the sound of that gunshot will forever echo in my mind
