Notes: 

!!!WARNING!!! Contains scenes of blood, violence, and bullying

This task required us to practice writing settings, and we were told to recall a childhood place and use our 5 senses to describe it both physically and emotionally. 

And this piece is based on a true event I had when I was in primary school. 

Anyways, I hope you enjoy it! (even tho it's a bit depressing :/)

I climbed up the crimson staircase to the first floor where the primary grade classes belong, I was greeted with a grey-hued and gloomy hallway. A long row of indigo chairs sat at the wall facing each door for each classroom. 

We waited for our parents here, we had recess here, and it was the only place to play. But to my eyes and ears, all I always heard were wild screams and loud mockery, they always came towards me. The danger zone to me alone. 

The moment I stepped into this hallway, a fist bashed into my face and I found myself on the floor. My vision blurred red as more screams arose. 

The sounds grew louder, terrifyingly loud. I struggled to escape from whoever kept brutally beating me to the point darkness almost crept into my vision. 

A scent of Oud invaded my nose when I was yanked out of this chaos and was embraced, followed by a woman's sympathised yelling. The next thing I knew, I was in the Nurse's office, with the principal herself stroking my head. The only woman who was sane and compassionate, a saviour.
