It was an amazing day. Do you know why? Well, I'll tell ya, it is my 8th birthday! Me and parents went to the park. We had ice cream, played games and fed ducks bread. When the day was done, we went back to a place that me and my parents called home. My parents said that home is where the heart is. For some one my age, I didn't get it. They told me that I would when I get older.

That amazing day I said earlier didn't last long. We got home and went inside when dark clouds started to form. My daddy turned on the TV and watched the news to see what kind of storm we would get. Me and mommy were in the kitchen. I colored in my new coloring pad while mommy baked something for my birthday. "Mira, can you come here for a second?" My daddy asked concerned. I saw my mommy take off her apron and left the kitchen to talk with daddy. I stayed and colored , not realizing what came next. The power went out.

"Mommy? Daddy?" I called scared. I was always afraid of the dark when there was a storm happening. "We're coming Ezra, don't worry," I heard my mommy say. I stretched my arm across the table and grabbed my stuffed cat, Pickles. My mommy came into the kitchen with a flashlight in her hand. She picked me up and we went to the living room. All of us went outside to the cellar. "HELP!" I heard someone scream. My parents looked at each other then at me. "Daddy? Mommy?" I was really scared now. "Ezra, stay in the cellar," my daddy said, "we will be right back". Mommy and daddy shut the doors. I held onto pickles as tight as I could. A couple of minutes later, the storm began and the wind picked up a lot. It was like I was next to the loudest train in the world. I hide in the corner and cried because I was so scared. Where's my mommy and daddy? Why is the wind so loud? What's going on?! I had to know, so I got up and went over to the doors. Water dripped through the cracks and the door shook furiously.

I put Pickles and my favorite blanket that my mommy made me, in a safe spot. I walked to the doors and opened them up. I poked my head out from the inside and saw something that made my heart race. It was dark and the rain poured down like there was no tomorrow but I could still see them. A bunch of swirling clouds that came from the sky crashed onto the surface of the earth. The swirly clouds were destroying everything in there path and one was heading straight towards me! I ran to the back of the cellar and hide behind a shelf in the corner. Then it became so windy and loud that I couldn't hear myself scream. After I thought it was over, it came again a couple seconds later but worse. It was over in a minute and the rain started to calm.

I risked to get up and take another peek outside. I signed when the storm started to clear and the stars started to light up the night. There was just one question on my mind. Where was mommy and daddy? I went back into the now flooded cellar and grabbed my blanket, Pickles and a flashlight. I turned the flashlight on and pointed it all around me. My eyes widen at my lovable neighborhood was turned into a huge pile of rubble. I started to walk around in hope to find mommy, daddy or at least someone to comfort me. Then I almost forgot my own home. I turned back and found my house the same as the rest, a pile of rubble. Tears started to stream down my face.

My home is destroyed. My parents disappeared and I was alone. I couldn't take it anymore and fell onto my knees and sobbed until sleep consumed me. I blacked out into a much needed slumber.
