5 AM in the morning... I'm going to bed...
Trying to sleep, without any success... I'm turning and tossing around, it's now 6 AM.
Finally I feel myself dozing off... Deeper and deeper into the world of dreams... a place where everything is possible. I hear a sound... I hear lots of sounds... trying to call me back... Back from a place where I'd much rather be. I feel myself pulled out of my dreams, and into the reality... I hear some noise.. it's coming from my jewelry stand... I know this noise... but I've never heard it so loud before... it's getting louder and louder... it's shaking...
And then I realise that it's not the only thing shaking... I feel it too... I'm shaking. Or is it my bed?
Trying to clear my head and come to my senses... yes!... I'm definately shaking, so is everything in my room... what's happening? The noise seems to lower... now it's just a sound, a sound that is moving away... like the sound of a train passing by... and then it disappears. There is nothing but silence. This silence is stirring up alot of tension inside me... caused by the event, caused by a lot of questions. I'm laying still... trying to listen for a sound... some sign of the time not standing still. I hear it. I hear cars driving by down the street, and I feel calm again.The time is now 6:23 AM and I realise that I've just experienced an Earthquake
