Wednesday Words: No One Had Heard the Wind Blow Like This Before.

This week’s prompt is: No one had heard the wind blow like this before.

Outside, the storm raged. No one had heard the wind blow like this before. Ever.

Connor and a few of the other advanced class students had gathered in the corner of the lunchroom. They waved Alinta over. As she approached them, she glanced around at the other students—fear radiated from all of them.

“Can you believe all of this?” Alinta waved her arms around, trying to indicate everything.

The sound of the wind pierced through everything.  It shook the solid building around them and—according to security—it could even be heard in the underground continuation of the school. Normally the hidden rooms, habitats, laboratories, and quarantine units were as oblivious to the world as the world was to them. Not with this storm.

The wail of the wind seemed unearthly. Conner had gone even more pale than normal; his freckles were much more obvious. He stared off into the distance, rocking back and forth slightly.

“Banshee.” He murmured under his breath.

“What?” Alinta grabbed his arm. “Are you kidding? How is that possible?”

Conner snapped out of his trance. “Look around. We have a Mothman, a Loupe Garou, a Sasquatch, a Lady in white, and that’s just on the faculty. How can you doubt anything? It’s a Banshee. And someone will die.”
