Ambulances were everywhere rushing people to the hospital. Everybody in the city was there! Some Doctors put me on a paramedic bed and applied a cast to my broken leg.

After a couple of days, the scene seemed to clear out a

The…

As I went to school and ate breakfast, I remember hearing our teacher talk about it and the worried look on their faces. Before we were to go back to our classes, I asked…
