Nanowrimo Day 5: ~5100 words

"The bunk house is transformed into a frenzied den of chaos.  A small boy across the bunk-room takes one step out of bed and is immediately snared in a rope sling and sprung up toward the ceiling where sharpened spikes have been fastened.  A red haired girl tries to run only to find her feet have been pinned to the floor by a pair of ninja sais.  A pair of children fall from their bunks after a green powder is blown in their face, their little fingers clawing at their eyes and mucus pouring out of their mouths and noses.  A lanky child is screaming under his blankets as he is swarmed by dozens of black scorpions.  A flaming arrow whistles across the room and buries into the spine of a running girl, catching her blouse on fire and crumpling her into an ignited pile on the floor.  A toddler walking on all fours is clubbed by a nun chuck and sent sailing through a glass window and out into the darkness beyond.  

The shadows in the dark are as relentless as they are efficient."
