A Calamity
#WritcoStoryPrompt68
A catastrophe has been predicted, we should be alert at all times. It does not describe anything but its severity - which is massive. All we can do is wait and be ready. It will occur at 12am on
the dot. Here it comes! 12:01... 12:02...
12:03... What happened?
The time was 9.30 in the morning when Rasith looked at his new watch given to him by his uncle for his recently held 22nd birthday. He was waiting for his friend who needs to come now. Suddenly he received a call that he couldn"t come as he has got fever since the previous night.
What to do now ? he thought puzzled.
He cannot go back home ,so he looked around to find whether there is a bookshop nearby. He saw one at about hundred meters from where he was.He kept walking slowly and slowly watching all around to catch some sort of new stuff arrived in the town, since he starts to care about trendy patterns this lately. Patterns or what ?
Suddenly he stopped. He pulled something out from his purse kept in a front pocket of his trouser .It was a photo of a group of girls and boys. It looked as if he was trying to match one of the girls in the photo, with someone whom he abruptly happened to set his eyes on,from the opposite side. Is it really her ? Oh my goodness ! he thought. The god must have been here, just minute. He couldn"t see the time. It was the worst time ever. Before he tries to see her, before he takes the turn to cross ---------- ,before he starts to step out from there, before he raises the step, even before he decides to do so something very ,very,very big echoed as if the whole earth came upon him. Bang,bang did the doors, Windows and almost every screen, windscreen nearby .Then a great water wave rushes across, greater than the greatest or the mount Everest, dismantling everything and submerging all passes through. The line of shops went floating and the things inside too. Some walls and some roofs get blown away with the speedy rush that smashes through.People were thrown here and there some get hooked inside and some others submerged beneath the rubble. What is it ? The clock tower showed them the time it happened, as it hasn't moved an inch ever after. It was 12.Same was everywhere and there 's none to perceive all that crushed and gushed down. There were piles and piles of the dead and the damaged. No witnesses, no inquiries ,no observers, none was alive .Everywhere was one ocean, an ocean of water.
