Hiding in the Dark

Date: 9/14/2017

A group of us (kids) were mucking around when suddenly I realised I needed to switch off the light or we were going to be caught. I tried and tried but couldn't reach out. Eventually I did but the switch didn't work and I resorted to pulling out wires to try to get the light off. We scattered and I hid fairly nearby in a dark shadow, glad I was wearing dark clothes. I huddled against an old water tank while searchers with torches came and went, not spotting me. Then I saw trucks and tanks (very Tomorrow when the war began). I was able to move around the back of where I'd been hiding which was some kind of gas tank. Then I started to hear my name being called and I wondered if being found would be such a bad thing. Eventually my parents found me and I felt safe coming out.
