I started panicking for my life. My sister came into sight and I looked over to see that she was hanging with her hands gripped onto the wooden floor. She was hanging from an open hole in the floor right above the first floor I grabbed her hand and she started to feel heavier every second. I grabbed onto her bed and her hand to keep a good grip and then I started to shake more. The roof was creaking a lot and the roof started to slowly but steadily lean down and fall. When the house shook violently again my hand let go and my whole body slid to the left wall of the room. Sister screamed and I started to yell as she cried out but then the roof couldn't support any longer. It started to fall and I had noticed so I got up and tried to run out of the room. The room started to feel like it was getting smaller and when I got into the hallway I looked around and I saw that there was nothing to get down. The staircase was broken and it was high so a jump could lead to my death. Wooden splinters stuck up from the floors on both stories and I felt hopeless.
