It first happened when I was ending my mountain climbing, the transparent snow floating down from the sky onto my ice-cold body, my aching bones heaving and trying to get back to civilization. A single tear rolls down my cheek, while my body collapses to the ground. That’s when the earthquake started.
Dizziness hits my brain and tells me I’m going to pass out. The impact is like a rough stone just got thrown straight to my skull. The I realize it’s not just me.
The ground starts to form cracks around me, while towering trees collapse, causing the cracks to widen and cause a ravine. I leap to my feet, breathing every breath as if it’s my last. Once again my muscles give up and I start to see the ground getting closer and closer to me. First I feel nothing, then i feel a burst of agony surge through my body as a sharp branch impales my leg. Pain surges through my body while more tears stream down my face.
Then the pain starts to fade, and my vision gets blurry and weak. I don’t know if this is the end, but all I know is that the pain in my leg could be the death of me.
Well done Emma
I really like the atmosphere you are creating in your work.
