Mister Molotov

HAZEL -

"Come in here!!" I holler at them while frantically motioning them to get in my room. "Hide in here quick!!"

They all clamber in, some nearly tripping on their dresses. Suddenly I feel tiny arms encasing my legs. I glance down and find a frightened Arielle, clutching onto my dress. Immediately, I haul her up into my arms and slam the door shut. The women are crying and sobbing.

"What's going on?" I question apprehensively while peering at all of their faces.

"We don't know, oh God it's horrible!" One of them wails. The rest voice their agreements and fall into a crazy chatter. Sounds of gunshots start piercing the air relentlessly, and we all let out shrieks while falling to the ground in discretion. Arielle begins bawling in my arms. "I want my mummy!!!"

I clasp her tightly against my chest, vehemently hoping that Rachael, Katie, and Bev were safely hiding somewhere. That no innocent people be harmed in this nightmare come to life.

Ya'Allah please please please make this all
