Do You Know What I'm Seeing?

Roman couldn't believe his eyes. There was a hurricane in the middle of the city. He sat back in his desk chair with his mouth wide open. How the hell did a hurricane form without any kind of warning. Roman continued watching the news report.

"As you can see, in the downtown area there is a hurricane tearing through homes and businesses as we speak." The reporter said. "Scientists and weather experts can not explain the phenomenon. It's as if the hurricane just appeared out of nowhere. Authorities are clear..."

That's when the power cut out. It was pitch black. Roman attempted to make his way over to the large wall of windows which were covered by a thick curtain. He tripped on something or rather along the way and hit the ground with a loud THUMP. "Ow! Jesus!" Roman cried.

He finally found his way to the windows and pulled back what he hoped was the curtain. Light flooded the room. It was very dark outside but compared to the darkness of the room it seemed very bright.

Romans door busted open and in ran his brothers. They tackled him down and starting yelling. "Roman! The powers out!" Over and over again.

"Yea, I know! Could you get off me please." Roman tried to push off the boys. "But Roman!!! It's scary!" They complained.

"Guys! Get off of me!" Roman was wriggling around. Gavin was sitting right on his left wrist in a weird way. The young boys just laughed knowing that they were annoying Roman. His wrist was really hurting! It felt like a toothpick about to snap.

"Gavin! Get off my wrist! Seriously you...AHHHHH!" Roman screamed as his wrist snapped back making a loud CRACK! Gavin and Evan jumped off Roman and stood up. "Oh no! Roman are you okay? I'm so sorry!" Gavin yelled.

"It's fine. It's...OW! Fine...." Roman said slowly getting up. He held his wrist in his right hand. Roman knew for sure it was broken. "Just go find Mallory. She's probably already called the electrician." Roman said pushing through the pain.

"Okay...you didn't break anything right?" Evan asked. Roman blushed but luckily it was dark enough that you couldn't see. "Yea, for sure. Ow!" Roman gritted his teeth. The boys left and Roman grabbed his phone for a flashlight. Even with the curtains open it was still too dim to get a proper look. He set up the phone and looked at his wrist. It was purple, black and blue and completely swollen. It was still puffing up. It was bent all the way backwards with part of the bone sticking out. There was a quite a bit of blood too. It was dripping out of where the bone had come through. Roman winced at the sight. His whole hand was numb and he couldn't move his fingers. As a result they were curled and lifeless. Almost like looking at a dead body's hands.

Roman rummaged through one of his many drawers and found some gauze. He wrapped up his wrist and tucked the gauze in on itself. He winced as he tucked it in. Once the wound was covered he put on his varsity jacket to hide his wrist. His hand was still numb and he was still unable to move his fingers. He used his good hand to grab his phone and find his family.

He carefully made his way downstairs. He flashed his light around the house. It was oddly quiet. He couldn't hear his brothers at all. He went towards the maids corners.
He told his brothers to go there but it was empty when he arrived. "What the?" Roman whispered under his breath.

"Gavin?! Evan?!" He called through the dark house. "Hello? It isn't funny you know!" Roman just about crashed into a pillar when he heard a whisper behind him.

"Roman."

He spun around quickly, the whisper sending a chill down his spine. He shined his light into the darkness behind him but there was nothing there. "Come on! This is seriously not funny!" Roman was getting fed up at this point. He was sick and tired of his brother messing with him. "I swear to God you two! If you don't quit it!" He threatened.
