That day started like any other, by me waking up to go to school. I'm at CEGEP level, and I'm the only human at my school. In fact, I'm one of the last humans. We are around a hundred left only, all the rest of the world is composed of furry and scaly. Well, it's not fully true anymore. Last month humans were fully integrated in the Furries Registration Act, or FRA for the intimate. That basically means that humans are now recognized as an anthro species, like cats, lizards and wolrses (a hybrid that have the power of the horse but the grace and the intelligence of a wild wolf, and this is the specie of our current prime minister) and by extension as furries, and that also mean that transfer to humans is now fully recognized.

My family used to be one of the last full human and was too proud of it. Then most of them evolved and changed their idea, in fact all of them but my mom. Most of my family transferred to become the same species as their step-family. My mom found my step-dad, an extremist to say the lest, who believe furries should all be, and I quote: “cured of their disease".

Anyway, that's not that important right now. What's important is that my family have a bad reputation with most of the furries because of it.

So as I said before that day started like any other with me going to my CEGEP. This school is beautiful, it's built inside a former convent, which means that all the exterior walls are made of stone, but the inside is quite simple, except for a small cafe in a former chapel on the second floors that have kept the original deco. The building has the form of a cross and has 4 floors, including the ground floor, plus an underground level, and since the school is using the French system, the levels are in order from bottom to the top: underground or level S, ground floor or level R, second floor which is the level 100, third floor or level 200 and forth floor or level 300. The school is divided in three blocks: A, D and G. I study in natural sciences, but the CEGEP is best known for his nursing care, civil engineering and lab assisting technique.

This was the first day of school, and most of the class had ended early. For my part I had a physics lab that ended at 6 pm. Well, it wasn't a lab, it was only theory, but it was still the first day of school. All of this mean not many students are still in the school, and almost as many teachers.

I was exiting the hall to go outside. The hall is the biggest room of the school. It's also the centre of it. As soon you entered the Hall, you could see all the way from the ground floor to the level 200 (the stairs to the level 300 are in a closed space). A pair of stairs is running along the wall, giving the whole picture something that is kind of grandiose, even if the security and the information booth are breaking the whole thing, without being totally out of place. There are two other secondary staircases, one at the end of the D-wing and the other at the end of the G-wing.

As said before, the school is separated by levels and by wings. Since the school has the form of a cross, when you enter the hall you have the D-block to your left, the A-block in front of you and the G-block to your right.

The school's levels are mostly divided by programs. The DS is dedicated to nursing care technic, the AS is a storage area, the GS contain the civil engineering classroom and there is an unaffected area under the hall which is used as a communal room. On the ground level, the DR contains mostly the library and some extra classroom, the AR contains some administrative office, the GR contains a cooperative material shop and the cafeteria. There is a glass door in the hallway leading to the cafeteria that connects with an annex containing the gymnasium. The gym locker room is under the annex, and a small transitioning room with a stair give access to both. That room is in a modern design with a wall-big coloured glass window.

Continuing to the upper level, the D-100 contains the general courses' classroom, the A-100 contains the reception and school services' offices, and the G-100 contains the previously mentioned cafe and some other general courses' classroom. The D-200 is dedicated to furry sciences' classrooms and teachers' offices, the A-200 to computer technic's classroom and the G-200 to general courses' teachers' offices. The D-300 contains the biology laboratory, the physics laboratory and natural sciences' teacher's offices, the A-300 contains classrooms and the G-300 contain many chemistry laboratories.

To finish, most of the unused space, like the space between the classroom's doors, is filled with the students' lockers.

The entrance itself is a double set of three double glass doors surmounted by a half-circle window. Between the two sets there is the part of the building which had stayed the most authentic, the wall and the floor being made of rock, last proof of the previous usage if you exclude the façade.

Anyway, I was going out to take my lift. My mom was late because she was too soon, and I texted her that my class wouldn't end before time, so she chooses to go shopping either than waiting, but now it is her that is late.

That's when I've seen it. A plane flying over my head then dropping something in the distance. Even from where I stand it was unmistakable. It was a bomb.

I've run back inside as fast as I could while shouting:

“Bomb!"

I had barely time to hide from the glass doors before they started to shatter from the impulsion resulting from the explosion. The shock hit me quite hard anyway, and I lost consciousness.
