It was a blur, nothing I had ever seen before. And as soon as I tried to make it out, it disappeared and Sarah's house was up in flames and smoke. The explosion caused the houses beside it to cave in and as the destruction around the burning building continued, so did my pulse, my mind.
"Sarah!" I screamed and began racing towards her house. I knew she was the only one there. Her mother and father were out of the country, which meant that they had more time to prepare before they were invaded as well. It was quiet, other than the sound of fire burning as I got closer to her house. Suddenly, another object fell from the sky at lightning speed. This time, I was able to take a closer look as it screamed its way down towards the ground.
It looked something like a star, only it was more of a blight purple light. It made its way a few miles to the left of me, screeching like a million birds as it crashed to the ground, shaking the Earth underneath my feet and deafening me temporarily. I picked up the pace as object after object began falling like rain all around me and all I could think about was her...
Love the vividness of this piece.
