Snippet #16742

Nat hadn't gotten an ounce of sleep. All night, she had tried without success to block out the nightmarish sounds coming from outside. She sat at the window of her dorm, staring at what seemed to be part of a horror movie. So many kids lay dead on the ground. It was so surreal, to know that as little as a week ago, they were all full of life. And now...now they were gone. Not far from her dorm, she saw Renesalie standing over Casper. At first, she didn't know what was going on between the two, but soon she figured out that Casper was...dead. The thought hit her like a ton of bricks. Renesalie must have been heart broken. Immediately, she felt grief for her friend and had the urge to run out to her, but at that moment, she probably just wanted to be alone.
Nat desperately wanted to go out and help, but there wasn't much she could do. People were already trying - and failing - to revive the dead. It was a horrible sight, but she couldn't look away.
