Reckoned

I remembered when I was just a little girl. And how close I was to my family. My sister and I had nothing to worry about as long we had our parents right besides us every step of the way, even if they were tough with us. But then, in a blink of an eye, when out the window, everything that I once knew went into ruins. A chill ran down my spine, was this really happening? It couldn't be. I pinched myself, to see if this was all a dream. But this was no dream. This was really happening. It was time for the human race's turn to fall onto their knees.
