“The halls were empty. Charlotte had missed the first bell and would be late, again. Her homeroom teacher would ask her for an excuse and she would say, 'Overwhelming feeling of dread.'

“This morning, as Charlotte approached the brick facade of Hartnett, she found herself overcome with a great sense of dread. It hit her with a strange and sudden force, and she had an overwhelming urge to turn back, get into bed and not go out for about three weeks. She stopped in her tracks. The feeling itself was alarming to Charlotte - was she sensing something? Something dangerous? And was it something supernatural or just middle school? Sometimes it was hard to tell the difference.” SometimesHardFeelingsSchoolTurnsThreeFoundForceDifferencesMorningWeekMiddleDangerousStrangeBedOvercomingTrackUrgesOverwhelmingDreadBricksMiddle SchoolFacadeCharlotteSensingOverwhelming Urge Author:Anne Ursu
