Really, though...

I love this school.

I started to feel sick after sitting in the dining hall for an hour, so I got up and left my friends. While walking from the dining hall to my friends' dorm, I got an alert on my cell phone:

The school is in lockdown. There is a dangerous individual in the proximity of the campus. Get in a room, lock the door, close the windows and shades. Do not come out until further notification. THIS IS NOT A DRILL

There are a lot of sketchy people around the campus. We are located in the ghetto. So, for the school to make a big deal about someone is weird. There are shootings and muggings and stuff weekly, and we just get e-mails notifying us about it.

So, locked in the room, more information started filtering in. The dangerous individual was seen walking in the sparse trees (called "woods" in the text) around our campus, barefoot and with camo pants on. He had just committed armed robbery against a McDonalds (forever earning him the name HAMBURGLAR), and the Hartford PD was in pursuit.

Four hours later, he shot at the police, and then killed himself.
I was freed, and am now safely back in my room with my candy corn.
