After some thought, I decided that the best thing to do would be to lock myself in the lounge. When I said that it was pandemonium out there, I wasn't speaking lightly. It was utter chaos, filled with crying and confusion, but more importantly, it was filled with violence. And that was something that I didn't want to contend with.
So, I decided to "wait out the storm", so to speak.
But then I wondered what I'd do while I waited.
