A deep, terrifying roar that seemed to rise from the earth itself.
Windows exploded.
Concrete cracked.
Neighbors screamed.
And within seconds, the quiet neighborhood that had always felt safe turned into a scene of pure chaos.
“Mia!” her mother shouted from the front porch.
But the earthquake was already swallowing everything.
The ground split apart.
A section of the yard collapsed.
Dust filled the air.
