Forty-nine dead, fifty-three injured.

Those are the numbers of the victims in the most vicious mass shooting in US history.

It's been over a week since this tragedy occurred when a cold-blooded gunman stepped foot into a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. For a place that's supposed to make people of the gay community feel safe and accepted, it rapidly turned into a place where hope was lost and lives were put into danger.

One minute, people were having the time of their life making new friends or dancing with lifelong friends; in the next minute, chances of waking up in the morning were slim. So my question to you is: what would you do if you were in this horrible situation?

For years now, the world has been under attack with a plethora of mass shootings and killing sprees. Most have been citizens within their own country, looking to harm others. While some have been terrorist attacks to make a statement to neighboring countries. But when these incidents keep happening over and over, what is there to do? Many people talk about their plans if they were in a situation like this but when it actually happens, it's almost impossible to predict how you will act. You freeze, you run and scream, or you flat out breakdown and crawl into a corner.

For those who were in the club that fateful night, their reactions were most likely right on point with these actions. Were there some people who wanted to get at the shooter and find a way to make it stop? Of course. But when a psycho has a gun pointed at you, there's not much you can do.

So just picture yourself in the shoes of one of these hundreds of people in that club on June 12th. Would you have hidden or ran? It's easy to say what we would do if we were actually in a situation like that. Like we all imagine a robber entering our house or even yelling at the character on that horror movie we saw last weekend for running up the stairs. But if we really ended up in that type of situation we would be hypocrites and do the same thing; not consciously, just reacting to the lack of thought.

Reports claimed that one of the people inside the club called their mom and said, "Mom, I'm going to die." Just imagine having to call your loved ones to tell them that. Imagine being on the other end of that call. Pure heartbreak.

It's mind altering and depressing to think about what these innocent people went through at this time but if you picture yourself in this situation, it's even more horrifying.

So if any of you aren't concerned about what happened that night or see it as "just another shooting," put yourself in these victims' shoes. Think about the picture that would be stuck in your head and the friends you might've lost. Then maybe you wouldn't see it as just a typical night at the club. You would want people to care if you were a victim in this incident, so be s little courteous.

As far as the gunman goes, it's sickening to think how messed up people have to be in order to unload a gun on hundreds of innocent people. It's sickening to know that these heartless people walk the streets freely every day, coming into contact with innocent people and even children. They are roaming around, like an overstretched rubber band waiting to snap It makes me want to throw up and really question the meaning of life when things this horrible happen. Now there's still debate on whether it was a hate crime or an ISIS attack, but either way, people are dying and our world is becoming less safe every day we go on.

What has this world come to? And I'm sure the people involved in this tragedy thought this afterward: why? What could possibly drive someone to do this? To answer that, nobody knows. There's no way of telling what goes on in these sick people's heads and the worst part is is that it's not just a few people, it's all over the place. America has accounted for 173 shootings this year so far. And it's only June.

So for those of you who are confused and angry, I think we all are. We are angry at the fact that we don't know what to do about it and that there's not a real significant way that we can fix it. And we are confused as to what makes people do the things they do.

For the people who encountered this horrific scene, I give them all of my thoughts and I commend those who fought to help others and get out of there safely. Just think, it could happen to us at any moment. A gunman has opened fire at an elementary school and now a gay nightclub. What's next? It could be anywhere and anyone and that's the scariest part.

So if it happened to you, what would you do?
