So...

This thing happened.

(March 31st, 2020, during quarantine.)

NARRITIVE INITIATIVE ACTIVATE:::

It was like, 5:40 PM or something and I was sitting on my bed, listening to music and drawing.

(What was I drawing, you ask? Well, Camp Camp characters, of course! (Please help I think I'm addicted.))

So I was just sitting there, peacefully, minding my own buisness when all of a sudden I hear and see things on my bedside table begin to rattle. I heard the neighbors dogs barking, so I assumed they just ran into something and caused the building to shake.

But then it, like, didn't stop.

So my bed started to shake, and I was tired and being an idiot.

"Man, someone's really mad at my bed," I thought to myself and laughed.

But then my bed didn't stop shaking, so I started getting a little worried.

"Wait... Is this an earthquake?" I looked at my lamp shaking on my bedside table. "But we never get earthquakes that we can actually feel here."

It lasted about 10-20 seconds. I was upstairs, and I should have went downstairs sooner, but I went down after it ended.

When it was over I set my sketchbook down on my bed, paused my music, and went downstairs with my phone.

"Did you feel that?" My mom looked at me as I walked down the steps.

I nodded and glaced over to my sister. I looked at our chandelier, which was still swinging a little.

Not even five minutes later, all of our phone start going off.

My friends were texting me in the group chat, my dad texted me, my cousin texted me, my friend in a different state snapchatted me, it was crazy. I was texting a bunch of people for a while, and I was still shaking from the earthquake (pun(?) intened).

So everyone went crazy, making sure everyone was all good. We texted/called my brother (he was in a different state for work) to make sure he was all good. I texted my cousin who is also in another state, but it borders ours so we thought they might have felt it.

And everyone in our groupchat went a little nuts (just a little).

So then I ate a taco and went back upstairs.

(but like, quarantine is super boring so this was a nice change of pace??? i thought it was kinda exciting cuz im actually insane??? idk, i was bored and this surprised me, and gave me a nice adrenaline rush. like watching a horror movie or riding a roller coaster, even tho i coulda been in real danger :/ )

Stay inside,
stay safe,
and have a good night/day.
