Should I, should I just fall? No one would care. My family, they would just carry on with their work casually. Big kids and small ones, I bet they would be glad. I can never stop thinking that they would always step on me and squish me until I disappear in thin air. The world would just carry on like nothing happened or in a better way. Should I just fall... No, what am I thinking of! I have to carry on pursuing my dreams and carry on my passion, join Lasalle college of art. Everything will be great I could look at the world in a different eye.

I heard a sharp, high pitch scream. I suddenly snapped out of my flowing thoughts and came back to reality. I almost forgot, I was clenching on a tree. This is hell, the view from this tree is hell. I could see the waves coming, it looks like the water will never stop flowing into my town. I could see kids screaming, families trying to save one another. The scream though, I heard that one before. I turned cautiously to my house well, used to be my house. I could see mom, the water gulping her up. I couldn't look, I screamed but no sound came out. My eyes watering but no tears would budge out. Arms wanting to reach out but it felt like I was glued to this position. My blurry vision of my mom drowning.

"Mom!" I screamed. I tried to jump down to save her but then I caught a glimpse of my teacher, Ms Amberly yelling at me.

"No Sweetie! Everything will be fine. Just close your eyes. Stay there honey," she said while trying to hold on to something stable. Her messy hair covering her sight as her make-up getting smudged by the water. I was having a panic attack but then I thought of Ms Amberly's voice. Everything about her voice is incredibly soothing, calm and trustworthy. I did what she told me to do, I did it because she is a trust-worthy teacher and she is the only person I trust. I let the darkness take over me as the sea continued swallowing people.
