Earthquake


 We saw the pool water swaying like a washing machine out of control and then Suddenly we felt a mighty shake...

 My brothers and I were chilling on the couch and our parents were in the other room glued to the TV. We saw the pool water swaying like a washing machine out of control and then we felt a mighty shake. it sounded like a lion roaring as loud as it could. Then my mum zoomed into the room and shouted “get under the table now”. We flew under the table and we grappled the legs tightly. It was terrifying. The world was shaking like never before. I could hear glasses smashing. I could see pictures falling off shelves . We were screaming as the walls started caving in. The ground was getting more unstable by the minute. Then a fire started in the kitchen, from our dinner burning to a crisp. there was no way out of the rubble. The trembling would not stop. “Boys are you ok” a faint voice asked, “yes” we replied. We heard some rubble tumbling out of the way. Then we saw the light, It was Mum and Dad, “Thank god you're alright I was worried sick” Mum said thankfully. “ So that's what the sun looks like” I replied. We’re alive for now. “Lets hope this doesn't happen again”
