'--the worst earthquake in the history of earthquakes is to come, the authorities advice everyone to take shelter and pray for the best. Warnings were only given out minutes of time ahead, so there was no time for evacuation. We hope everyone will hang on tight and we’ll be praying for the best.’
Various of murmers were going around but really no one dared to speak out loud, almost as if afraid speaking would be a curse. Some were holding hands, praying for it to go by quickly while other’s were already trying to find spots to hide out in. The warning alarms were still going on outside and the time was running out. There was no leaving the building at this point, who knew what they would experience outside. It could’ve been a good idea, going out, if only they weren’t in a highly populated place that held many 10 or more story buildings. It wasn’t safe anywhere.
June was busy trying to collect herself, she didn’t know where to go or what to do and it was frightening, what made it even worse was that she was alone for as far as she knew, she had no one to cry with and no one to cling onto, she would have to go through this on her own. And although she was a relatively mentally strong person, this went beyond what she could possibly handle alone.
They were warned to hide out underneath something stable, to hide from any possible falling objects, which seemed like a good idea. And so she remembered how she’d come here, by car. Immediately she figured it was best to get to a familiar envoirement where she could hide out safely. So she’d snapped out of her thoughts and turned around to get to the ground floor where she had parked her car.
Although she had reached the right floor, it was too late at that point, she could feel the ground starting to shake underneath her feet and immediately let herself fall down to curl up near the side of a car, in hope to at least be somewhat safe, she couldn’t quite remember where she had parked her own car so to get there now, wouldn’t be safe. And now the shaking started to increase, though this would only be the beginning.
