This was supposed to be after I revised the prologue, but I never got around to it. I also was supposed to revise this chapter too. You can see I probably didn't.
--------------------------------------------------
Donato was stuck in slow traffic for almost an hour. It was starting to speed up, due to the clean-up of whatever accident happened. A car accident, probably. May be linked to the couple of rumbles that had gone off in the distance. His first thought was a thunderstorm, but the sky was clear and nothing on the weather app had forecasted any chance of rain or a cloudy day. This bothered him slightly, but he wasn't completely shaken.
Once again, since he was still stuck, his mind wandered back to his older sister... His dead older sister. His dad keeps saying it was an accident... But was it really? The last thing he and his sister were doing was finishing off a few models of characters from a movie, which now had a T.V. series to add to its franchise, 'The Dark Crystal.' They aren't really mini-figures, but they aren't really large either. A large rumbling and the road vibrating jolted Donato out of his head. He looked out to see several people getting out of their cars, so he did as well. As he followed the people to see the commotion, another rumble made the ground shake, throwing him off-balance.
His limp, caused by the accident, didn't help his balance. He only needed one crutch, only rarely, but he was considered a handicapped person. Donato had a brace to help him walk normally, but that was it. The injury isn't bad enough to have the leg chopped off completely, but it would be better than his current state. The doctors won't do it, so there's nothing to be done except give Donato pain meds for his leg when he needs it.
A woman helped Donato up. He nodded a 'thank you' and they followed the rest of the people. Everyone stopped near the city as a really large rumbling shook the ground. Every person grabbed each other to stay standing, but not everything can stand forever. Something started creaking, ready to fall. Everyone looked up and gasped. The road cracked, leading up to a tall building. The building creaked once more before the structure tilted and collapsed onto the road, killing anyone who was under it.
