Pov: It was an early Friday morning and it was already eerie and weird. The birds weren't chirping to wake you up or when you were up either. It was a depressing, gray, morning the sky looking like it was going to rain havoc on your life little did you know it was..
Your Mom woke you with an usual urgency and annoyance. She seems as if she was never happy, face always hard and scrunched. But today seemed different as if she was actual mad at someone or something. You could never ever tell. After she could tell you were up with the first 2 minutes she went to your brother. He awoke with a start almost as angry as your mom. He would show it to her though, that you knew. Your brother was always the type to give you the vibe of outgoing and fun but serious at the time. Your mother was the cause. She gave him her genes after all. This was during Covid. Today was different because you were going to your grandmother. Even though she live at least a McDonalds distant away from you. Going to see her was a hassle from all the traffic.
You noticed even after the unsettling start of the day everything seemed to calm down after everyone was off. You though since it was going to rain the birds left for shelter. It was a relief but a worry at the same time. You knew that birds never leave their original spot unless scared away or warned of bad, destructive weather. Which initially worried you, but you brush it off in your head saying to yourself, '' Maybe someone was tired of their noise all morning'' You though it to be Neighbor 1 because they were always yelling at people for so reason, but mostly noise. You always thought that their reason were hypocritical because on night hours when everyone was sleeping they were always waking everyone else up with noise. You realized it couldn't have been them for that reason because of that reason. They ( unless they were vampire of course,) would have been sleep from being up for so long. Soon you brushed it off.

The wind howled loudly as the rain begin to fall, no pour on your neighborhood. The rain seems to sound like bricks. You were in your bunk-bed playing games on your laptop. It was way to late to think about going anywhere now. After what seems like seconds on the storm starting, the power went out. You thought about asking what was going on, but was interrupted by your mom calling your name. "Y/N? Did the power just go out?" She asked. You called back," Yeah Mom I think it did, my laptop isn't charging and the lights aren't turning on!'' And of course, the one time you choose not to listen to your gut, it all went wrong. This was not normal is what you would soon find out from everyone around you.
Sooner or maybe later you couldn't tell because all of the stalling you had made up to yourself to keep your hope high and optimism alive, the storm stopped. You quickly put boots on although it was the summer, and rushed outside to find brick panels all over the grow. "So those really were bricks!'' You quickly thought to yourself and walk out the front pathway to see everyone on the block together and confused.
Your godfather came around all got everyone's attention and said ,''Alright everybody I have a generator and Neighbor 5 can use his extension cords to get it running. In the meantime, all adults go and see what damage and canned goods you can find for my wife to cook for us. Kids please pick up the fallen bricks. Those who have a generator try and get it working. Everyone get to work!'' And with that everyone went to do what assigned. Neighbor 2's 4 kids, Neighbor 5 's kid , and you were and picking up the bricks and putting the in garbage bags when Neighbor 5's kids said. " Hey Y/N since you look like an adult go see what they're doing. I'm tired and hungry." Neighbor's 2's kids chimed in and said" It looks like it gonna rain soon too." You chimed in response too all they're proposals and said," Of course, guys and I'll get some of my snacks after it'' They all quickly said "Thanks Y/N'' or a simple "Your amazing" and quickly went back to their piles.
