668 Words3 Pages

It was a sunny day. The sun shined brightly and I, Amelia Chesnutt, was happy. It was a great day. I had the day free and I was done with collage; free days; amazing. The telephone rang and I ran inside. I answered the phone. It was an answering machine from my boyfriend Charlie: “Hi. It’s Charlie. What do you say we go to Mount Washington for a little trip? I’ll be waiting at 5:00,” I checked the clock, 4:43, just enough time to make it to Mount Washington. I leaped in to my car and drove away.

Suddenly I heard a big crash and a man’s scream then a big “VOOOOOOM” And then the scream abruptly stopped. Somehow I knew what had happened. A man was running along fast for cover suddenly he sees a sun flare bearing down on him he screams then gets incinerated. When the Storm ended, I lifted the bell of my head and lifted the Liberty of off Charlie (The bell was so thick you could not hear anything from in there.). When I lifted it all I saw was the smell of burning flesh. Inside were a crumpled shirt and pant and a little box. Suddenly I knew the origin of the scream. The sun flare had come down right in front of Charlie. The radiation got in threw the small crack. He screamed and died instantly. I screamed right then and there. And I cursed the gods, the person who had rung this bell, every living creature on this Earth. Once I gathered myself together I looked at what was left. His shirt and pants obviously, but what about the tiny box. I opened to find…a small diamond studded

Then there was cannon fired into the town *BOM* *CRASH* The small children were screaming and crying.
