Chapter 1
MOMENT OF TERROR
A small town in California.
A boy and girl are at home.
Their mom ran to the store.
There is a rumble.
The house shakes.
A little at first.
Then it rocks.
The ceiling falls.
Dishes break.
It is an earthquake.
A big one.

The boy thinks.
They have drills at school.
Earthquake drills.
He takes his sister’s hand.
They go under a table.
Just in time.
The house falls.
They are buried.

The shaking stops.
The boy and girl are alive.
