After the storm...

After the storm:

I am stuck under the rubble left over from the storm; shattered glass is piercing my leg. I hear the screaming. People suffering as the rescuers calmly help them. The faint sound of sirens as the wood closes up, suffocating me. I scream a cry of pain.

Suddenly the wood moves and a strange figure reaches out to me. The damage to the city is unbelievable. The amount of injured people was hard to take in. The city was flat, like a junk yard had been cleared. The feeling of sadness lingers in the air.

  1. I was watching a film about the Japanese Tsunami last night and your piece just sums up the distress and pain and destruction that such devastating natural events can cause. It is a very well thought out and beautifully written account Harry. Well done.

  2. This is a powerful piece of writing. I like the way that you paint the picture using just the right amount of detail and description.
