The Darkest Day in the Cell

This cell was like any other, it had a Town Hall (Nucleus), family restaurants (Plastids), Wal-Mart ( Golgi Complex), and a Sentry(Vacuoles). On the weekends the people (Microfilaments) would take the trains (Cilia) to the beach in far off places away from the safety of the Cell Wall. Then in Central Station (Centriols) on a Saturday like any other the lights flashed once the all was dark. People were panicking and all available policemen (Intermediate Filaments) were dispatched to the power plant (Mitochondria) to see what went wrong. When they arrived there was smoke and flames everywhere, a terrible roar arose from the wreckage and an enormous Toxin reared up and crushed all the policemen before they could draw their weapons. Mr. Ribosome (the local butcher) who witnessed the event hidden in his meat freezer called the mayor (Nucleoli). Orders were issued for the immediate destruction of the terrible beast but no one dared approach it. The Toxin was making its way closer to the Nucleus as it was bent on destroying the Chromosome Archives. As it was about to obliterate the security (Nuclear Envelope) outside the hall a powerful thundering sound came from over head, the people looked up just in time to see the Peroxisome Special Forces drop out of their helicopters with their weapons hot to rip apart the Toxin in the rain of metal. After the quick battle the remains of the toxin were sent to the lab (lysosomes) to be analyzed.
