The silver boxes

I was in my high school gymnasium with my dad when suddenly I realized that we were surrounded by tiny silver boxes that seemed to have some sort of electrical current running through them.  I knew at that moment that we were in grave danger because the boxes were going to explode, but my dad wouldn't listen to me.  We were the only people in the gym, so I decided I needed to go get reinforcements to talk my dad into leaving the gym.

As I ran down the hall, I had a feeling that the silver boxes were scattered throughout the school and I needed to find Matt to get him out of the building as well.  I went to work and started looking in each of the offices, but I couldn't find him.  Then my office phone rang and it was Matt.  He was trapped in a tower on the other side of the high school and the only way to get to him was to walk over a tightrope that connected the DMU campus to Ottumwa High School. He also told me that the people who had set up the small boxes knew that I was coming after them and they would be trying to deter me from crossing the rope.

I needed to figure out a way to get my dad out of the gym and rescue Matt, but I suddenly because suspicious that my dad was in cahoots with the people who set out the boxes, so I decided to go rescue Matt.  I started to walk over the tightrope with hundreds of people on the ground below me cheering, and then balls started flying through the air at me that I had to dodge and jump over.  I finally made it to Matt, we walked down the stairs, and outside.  I took him to Hilton Coliseum and told him to hide in the tunnel with me because we would be safe from the electric current as long as we stayed there.
