<strong>Earthquake</strong>!<br />
Maggie had never experienced an earthquake before, only prepared for it. As long<br />
as she could remember, preparing for an earthquake was routine at school. Her<br />
family as well had made plans in the event of a natural disaster. Living on the west<br />
coast of the United States was earthquake country. However, it was not the same.<br />
Today Maggie was home alone. Her mind focused on her parents and what could<br />
be happening to them. Maggie knew her mom would be driving home on the busy,<br />
congested freeway. Her mind was preoccupied with preparing supper for Maggie's<br />
dad. Maggie's dad was due to arrive at the airport. He was coming home from a<br />
two week business trip.<br />
Maggie arrived home from school at the regular time. She was grabbing a snack<br />
from the almost bare pantry, when she felt it. First just a tremor, then the violent<br />
shaking. Maggie quickly scurried under the large, oak table in the dining room. The<br />
sounds of breaking glass and the crashing of numerous items was deafening. The<br />
table remained intact, and Maggie hugged herself in fear. Her mind focusing on her<br />
parents and what apparent danger they might be in.<br />
After what seemed like an eternity the earthquake appeared to be over. Maggie<br />
could hear the sound of water rushing below her in the basement. The smell of<br />
natural gas was present in the air. Maggie knew where the main water valve was<br />
located. Dad had shown her where it was and how to turn it off. Slowly and<br />
cautiously she came out from under the table. The once tidy ranch home was now<br />
almost unrecognizable. Walls had toppled over and electric sparks were shooting<br />
from the outlets. As Maggie approached the open basement door she could see the<br />
steps were still intact. Carefully holding the handrail she made her way down into<br />
the dark basement. While still on the steps she felt the water rising and rising.<br />
Placing her feet firmly on the floor Maggie felt a sudden surge of pain as a large<br />
ceiling beam hit her head and shoulder. She fell unconscious onto a pile of storage<br />
boxes.....<br />
