Daily Flash Fiction Challenge

South Point Elite Military Academy has been invaded by some unknown force. A few hours ago a thick square cloud suddenly appeared, instantly the whole base went dark. No electricity, no communications, not even battery power will work. I write this in the hope that It might leave clues about this mysterious ambush.

Most of the cadets bolted away like a stampede of cattle. They trampled over anything that got in their way. I am moving cautiously, staying close to the ground here In the lower level of the parking deck. The base is consumed by an irritating high pitched sound. It is so dark I can’t see anything.

My heart is about to pound out of my chest. Breathe Bud. Take deep breaths, you have to calm down before you have a heart attack. That irritating noise, like the sound of death. A high pitched whistling sound creeping into my bones threatening to take my sanity. What is it? That damn sound. Maybe it’s drones, it's got to be some kind of new advanced weapon being tested here at South Point Military Academy.

What's that? Look, it's a spot of a light over at the stairwell. Is it friend or foe? I have to find out. I think I can make it. Wait, I've got to calm down, my heart is beating too fast. That damn noise is coming for me! Okay run then. Ouch, damn that hurt. What in the world was it? Nevermind, breathe Bud breathe, I got to make it. Okay run legs run like you never run before.

“Captain, I'm so glad to find someone. Do you know what is going on?”

“Son, you have survived an EMP attack. Calm down. Help is here.” The captain replied.
