Her body collapses in the mud
Remains of buildings scattered
In front
Screams faintly heard in the distance
" I can't believe this"
Shaking her head in disbelief.
Her eyes rest on a puddle
Wiping the tears
from her fears
In her reflection
A flock of birds
Flew over her
Casting a shadow
She places her hands
over her ears
sounds of the crows
Overwhelmed her
She slowly stands
Eyes closed shut
"Aaaaaaahhh!"
She screams drowning out the crows, until they we're gone.
Her voice echoing,
the ground began to shake
Knocking her to her knees
Sounds of buildings
Collapsing
She looks ahead to see
The ocean
Rolling up it's sleeve
"Oh my God"
Her eyes filled with tears
The wave rushed towards her
She struggles to her feet
Attempting to run
Voices begin
singing her name
"You belong with us"
As the harmony
her pace slows
when she notices
the shadow of the waves
Building up behind her
Feeling defeated
She stops
The water engulfed her body.
Suddenly,
she wakes up
Trembling
Inhaling deeply
Catching her breath
drenched in
Cold
Sweat

"It was just a dream"
