A Day I Will Never Forget

         The  electricity  got  locked  off  and  it  made

         everything        nearly        impossible        to       see.
         The raindrops were so heavy, it was like they were

         ready to pierce through the galvanize.



         In  the  evening,  the  wind  got  stronger,  it  was  so

         strong  it  started  ripping  the  galvanize  sheets  off

         one by one, It was as if someone was ripping the
         pages  from  a  book  in  a  most  violent  way.

         That’s when I felt most afraid.



         There  were  eight  of  us  stuck  in  the  house  with

         total darkness and  being soaked as  the  wind  had
         blown the roof right off. I started crying, asking my

         mom if everything was going to be ok and she kept

         saying, “Son pray, just pray.”



         I did just that, but the Category Five Hurricane kept
         up  its  fury  unrelentingly.  I  started  trembling,

         praying to God to stop, only to now realize that it

         got even worse. When the rain got stronger, I had

         to run under the bed. I thought it was a great idea

         but it surely was not.
