Dieing Inside

As the ground is shaking, My heart is racing. I look over at my mom with a horrified look on my face. Then I tell her there will be no appointment this afternoon. She quickly turns and yells, " No, not him. Not today. I don't know what to do. He was the only one who knew how to stop this. I don't know how or anyone else that does."

The moment she says this I die inside. So this means all my dreams will come true. Nothing good will happen to me again. By the time my dreams are up, the world will be destroyed.

I say "well then what are we gonna do?" She stares out the window and says, " Nothing."

I look down while wondering who is gonna die next and how. I want to know why this is happening to me, why now? All these questions flooding through my head at once.

But, we can't stop now we have to get to cover. My mom drags me out of the car and we get over to shelter. We hide there until the earthquake stops. Good thing it was only a little one. Nothing big. Our home should be fine. My family should be fine.

When it stops we go outside. It looks like nothing happened. As we get into the car an ambulance rushes past us. I tell mom we should probably go home and she agrees.
