Even after all this time I can still remember the screams of people being ripped apart from the inside out by those THINGS. We couldn’t understand what was happening at the time but the look my Grandmothers face told us everything we needed to know. We needed to run.
Before my grandfather died he apparently built a bunker underneath the cellar. He was firm believer that one day the Russians were going to invade the United States. Grandma says everyone called him crazy for doing something like that. He wasn’t wrong about the necessity of an emergency bunker, he was just wrong about the reason.
My Sister Sam, our neighbor Kyle and I were taken into the cellar with Grandma and she sealed the door behind us. Kyle was crying, yelling for his parents and all my Grandma could do is hold him and try to keep him calm but I could see that she was holding back tears of her own.
Nobody said anything that night. We just listened. Even though we were underground, we could still hear the world falling apart outside. It’s hard to describe that type of feeling but if I had too I guess I would say it’s like dying violently while still being alive. Maybe that doesn’t make sense but nothing did that die so I guess it’s fitting.
Everyone else is asleep now.
I could still hear them outside.
I was scared
