ALARM

(short story)

The sound of alarms filled my ears and I felt tears spring into my eyes.  This sound was like a punch into the stomach, and I felt my weak, pathetic legs turn to jelly.  I looked into the skies as the Tornado Alarm rang through my ears.  Dark stormy clouds formed above me, like Zeus's massive beard had covered the sky.  I shuddered in my spot and ran down into the basement.  I covered my ears and cried out to the Gods to save me.  I felt the wind pound against the house.  I prayed that this old building would stay up to protect me.  The wind swirled around me and it bellowed out like a roaring train.  My body rocked back and forth, and I scrunched against the wall squeezing my eyes as tight as they could go.  I looked at the roof; or what was the roof.  I saw the dark sky above me, and I stared at it in awe.  Each detailed swirl of darkness surrounded me, and I felt my body lift from the ground. Floating through the air was exhilarating but terrifying at the same time.  My body swarmed around and I felt my right rib get crushed by a brick.  I screamed out in pain and agony wishing it would all stop. The grayness overcame me and all I could see was the dark grey clouds.  The air tasted like dirt and smoke, and my face was blown dry form the wind.  I felt my body sling around and my arm and legs flaring like crazy, the wind had total control over me.  I then saw the rest of my house becoming closer and closer, and my stomach rising into my throat as I knew my death was near.  I looked out one last time, to see the sun shiny sadly in the distance.  I smiled.
