Narrator: But how it happened was so different each way. And every time, when a new person came in from the hallway, the story changed, the perspective changed
Person 1: the first time I heard the
shrieking of steel
through the air
thick with everybody's worries
and everybody's dreams
curled up in a blanket and thrown to the sky
...
the air was thick
...
and the pressure of it weighed us down
and blurred our minds
Person 2: the body just fell
and we couldn't see who it was
till the thick of the fog fell
and we saw who fell
we could distinguish his face
from the crowd those
already weak
and on the floor around him
Person 3: it rang in my ears
a throb of pain
in my mind as
the instant pressure of the fog fell
all on me and crushed me
hands of those around me
hands of hate and
my hands of regret
pushed me out
Person 4: it rang in my ears
a throb of pain
in my chest
falling to the ground
with a thud
I saw the people surround me
hands of hope
lifting me up
