Their cries were heard!

The new 100 word challenge from www.theheadsoffice.co.uk
This weeks prompt was " their cries were heard..."





The noise went on, a constant ringing - the kind that gets behind your eyes and throbs in your temples. Suddenly there were people everywhere, chaos, a plethora of feet stampeding towards the nearest exit. This was the signal they had been waiting for, a chance to make a run for it. Could they be seen? They didn't care. it was now or never!

A pair of eyes gazed down at them through the tinted glass of the window, spectacles halfway down the nose, and as they ran, their cries were heard.....

"it's finally the end of school, happy holidays everyone!"

  1. I remember that feeling as a child. :) In the first paragraph, I thought it might be some sort of prison, but I think most children feel that way about school!

  2. Oh brilliant! I had the thought that this was going to be disaster piece - you know with everyone running for their lives. I suppose that's what happens mind when school's out for summer!
