I stand frozen in the middle of an empty field. All I hear is the brisk wind in my ears and the sounds of the surrounding tree branches clashing together. My fingertips now numb I stick my hands in my pockets. My nose starts to run, I sniffle and put my back to the wind. White surrounds me, the snow falls fast. I realize my feet are now soaked, the snow must’ve seeped through my shoes. I am freezing cold and my body aches for warmth but my mind is telling me to stay put. The beauty of this moment is breathtaking. I want to lay in the snow and just listen. My world has stopped as everyone else's continues. In this moment I am frozen in time. I collapse onto my knees and just stay. Then my beautiful moment is interrupted by the blaring of sirens. I don’t panic, I rise from the ground and slowly walk into the tree line. As I am walking I hear screams coming from which I am headed. Then I hear loud crashes. I want to run away but my feet start racing towards the noise. I reach my neighborhood and see it’s a huge blizzard. Hail is coming down hard. I cover my head and run to my house. I walk into my house, the door is already wide open. I screech for my mother and brother. No answer. I start searching and hear a toddlers cry. My brother crying under his bed. I tell him to stay while I find mom. When I find her I wish I hadn’t. Hail all over her bedroom floor, windows broken, her lying on the floor blood coming from her head. A sob escapes my throat as tears rush to my eyes. I breath, go give her a kiss then go to my brother. Something about his eyes tells me he already knows. Him and I will get through this, together. We will be okay.
