I sat there playing with my dark brown hair busy looking though my drafts with my brown eyes what had a hint of gold in them,When all of a sudden the room started to shake causing to wake from my day.

Then bang in that second woke I knew it was a earthquake so I pulled out my chair and dived under my table and braced myself after three minutes of violet shaking the earthquake was over.


I stayed under my desk for a few more minutes making sure it was safe,while I was staying under the desk I could here people screaming help as they tried to dig out their loved ones or workmates while other stood dumbstruck looking at the crumpled buildings and debris, I myself was horrified at the destruction that surrounded me when we I finally got up.
Crack!
I watched a few brick fall from a near by building and hit a person killing, then it hit me that person was my friend of many years Jack Henry, I fell to the ground crying I had just watched my friend die.
After about an hour of crying on my once dry wooden floor now don't get me wrong I am not sensitive and cry over everything but I just watched my best friend die because of bricks and on top that an earthquake happened and I don't know if may family is alive so don't you think I have every right 
to cry.

I got up with new found determinative I collected a few of things and set out though the door in hope of getting some answers. once out the front door I almost fainted if I thought thighs were bad an hour a go well there now worse, a fire had started in the chemist shop across the road and was starting to spread what a nightmare I thought to myself And with that I started running to I thought would be safe but how wrong I would be.


As I started jogging I notice a kid no more then 5 wondering round the place yelling for his mum,no wanting him to get hurt I  him with me.He had golden hair with deep blue eyes just like my on son fin. No how could I my family I forgot all about them I am the world's worst husband and parent how could I,I started hitting myself in the head HOW! HOW! HOW! I cried with all my might I had to cheek on them I simply had to,I start dashing down the road with the kid in my arms round a few corners and down Black Road to number 78.I came to a stop the whole house had collapsed
 into a pile of rubble I knew my wife Jessica would be home and the kids Daniel,4 and Fin,6 would be at home.I had lost everything my house,my wife and kids, my best friend since birth the teacher said we were always to talkative,and finally my wonderful job yes I seen the place burn down on the way there I had lost I all I started screaming curses at the sky yelling my heart out,when I remembered the kid I was scaring him,I stop yelling I have to strong for him so I pick him up and started running to the beach.
When I got there half an hour later I saw the beach was packed.


I was just catching my breath when somebody yelled tsunami as if my day could get worse.I start running up a near by hill people pushing and shoving me in a attempt to get passed after some hard out running with the kid on my back we reach the top where once again he started crying out for his mum I tried to comfort him but was no use.He was about to sit down like all the others when he heard a lady squeal my boy and rush towards them the boy's mum picked up her son and hugged and kissed he to her hearts content then thanked him him for saving her son by which time her husband had joined them,and also thanked him and asked if him would like to join them which the gladly accepted he was in need of good company after what had happened today.On the way there I heard my name being bellowed at first I didn't look but after the third time I looked around and then I saw them my wife and kids and I dashed to her and kissed her passionately until the stated moaning yucky.10 minutes later we were all seated eating afternoon tea with the john's family when the mother asked if I would be the boy's godfather and of course said yes.


10 ODD YEARS LATER

I had just finished my beer when the kids come home Fin,16 and Daniel,14 come baulking up the stairs and pulled me into a bear hug and just then Jessica came up behind them and gave me a present because to day was my 40th birthday I smiled when she told me the john's were coming round to dinner with their boy Jake,15 that I had rescued all those years a go.Dinner came and went in no time and we all piled out onto deck and had a good old chit chat while the boys went out and played rugby and in that moment I thought to myself I have never felt happier.
