Opening my eyes, I could sense at once that something was not right. I couldn’t hear anything in my house but I just presumed that they all went out. But about 2 hours had passed and I started to get a bit concerned, I thought they would have called at least. But I didn’t really think much of it at the time. So, I just carried out as usual, just watched some TV and made myself a sandwich.
Another hour had passed and I got a little bit curious. I looked out of the window to see if I could see their cars but what I saw was much worse; much much worse. I found myself looking at iron bars and boarded windows–for a moment I thought I was in prison–. I felt like I was an animal in a cage. I wondered what on earth was going on so I sprinted to the door to see whether I could open it or not. At this moment I prayed to God that it was open. It WASN’T. I realized there was no way out. I was trapped!
I knew there was no way out but I felt like I wasn’t alone. I could sense that someone or something was in there. I had no idea what to do and I felt completely lost for words.so I creaked upstairs to see if I could find it. At this moment I was filed with adrenaline and my heart was beating like a drum. I knew at any moment I would find it. So, I creaked into the last room that I hadn’t check.

But now I found my brother but that still doesn’t solve how I am going to get out of here.so I just tried to calm myself down and I just picked up the phone and tried to call my parents. The power was cut! This is when I really started to panic because I knew that I couldn’t get in contact with anyone, even the police.so I started top ask myself all these questions such as “am I ever to see anyone else except my brother ever again” and “how am I going to survive with the limited food supply our house”. So, I was trying to rationalize saying to myself I am going get out weather it takes an 2 hours or 2 years, I don’t care, I just want to get out!
About 3 hours had passed and me and my brother searched the house from top to bottom to try and find all the food and all the tools in the house to try and escape. But suddenly a miracle had happened, I heard a key in the door turning and it slowly creaked open and what I saw was amazing-it was my mother-. I sprinted at he like the speed of light and we both gave her a huge hug. But I wondered” where is everyone else”. So, I asked and the look on her on face looked like she had just saw a ghost. But what she replied was the worst news I had ever heard she replied, with tears in her eyes, “God took them away from us” …
