Diary of a Lockdown

5:30ish- Annoucment comes over the intercom system. Dancer Hall is in lockdown mode. All doors are to be locked and stay away from windows.

5:31- I have positioned myself crouched by the door with a pocket knife.

5:32- I called my father to inform him I am in lockdown mode. I informed him not to tell my mother.

6:00ish- The Police have entered the bathroom across from my room and yelled, "Police!" I hear the sounds of the stall doors being pushed back.

6:02- I call my father to tell him about the Police. My mother answers in tears asking me what happened. She has informed every member of my family.

6:15- Series of phonecalls and texting starts to figure out what is going on.

6:30- It is now an hour until The Producers. I am confident I can make it.

6:45- Talk to Vera for a while. Confirming I am safe.

7:00- Half hour till Producers. Pissed I might not make it. By this time we have discovered that there was a girl in Dancer who was threaten with a gun by boyfriend, and that is why we are in lockdown mode.

7:15- Obama wins Mississippi. I call Grandma to tell her I am safe. Discover no one has told Grandma. Grandma takes it way better then mom did.

7:30- Officially missing The Producers.

7:45- Sounds like the guy has been caught.

8:00- We are free. No one was killed or anything. I try and make it to the Producers for half-time. Got my ticket exchanged.
