The sky was ablaze with the fire of the setting sun and I was having dinner with my family, when suddenly I heard a terrible noise and felt the floor moving! It was an earthquake!

  I presently got up from the table and left the house quickly. At that point in time, I was so frightened until that I started shaking. At that moment, I saw Anson, my brother, outside the building. In the meantime, I told him I was too scared to go back into the flat in case it started shaking again.

  Therefore, Anson and I decided to go straight to the park to find a safe place to sit. In fact, we spent the whole night there. Although it was cold, but luckily for us, the Red Cross gave us hot soup and blankets. However, we stayed in the park for much of the next day because there were still tremors from time to time.

  When we were sure it was safe, we went back to the flat. Nevertheless, we were worried because quite a few of the houses in our area were badly damaged. When we entered the flat, we saw that the bedroom windows were broken along with some ornaments, but nothing more serious than that.

  Despite I was really tired, but I wanted to stay awake because I was terrified. Furthermore, I thought there might be another earthquake. Anson, on the other hand, said he wanted to sleep for a week. In consequence, that day was the most frightening and terrible day for me. Howbeit, I am glad my brother and I were safe and sound.
