Being So Close
Pt11
Even Further Away
Kathryn was in the house when it suddenly got dark. She was about to turn on the light when she heard the warning signal.
She jumped off the couch and ran to the front door. At that moment the house began to shake under her feet. She fell to the ground and crawled to the basement. Everything was crashing around her. The sides of the house began to creak; she had just made it to the basement floor when she heard a large crash. Then everything went dark.
Outside Pheobe and Greg were on the North Hill when they saw the tornado hit the house. Pheobe screamed as Greg grabbed her in his arms. Pheobe sobbed as she watched her childhood home vanish in the wind. And then the storm changed direction and headed for them.
Chakotay was at the transport station in San Francisco when he saw a breaking news report. He stopped when he heard the announcer mention Bloomington Indiana. Just then a cancellation noticed flashed across the screen indicating that all transports had been suspended in and out of Bloomington.
As the tornado turned toward Pheobe and Greg they both bolted up the hill to a small ground bunker. The tornado was bearing down on them. Greg opened the hatch and turned to Pheobe. But Pheobe was gone and Greg was alone.
He called out to her one last time and then shut the door behind him. He went down the stairs to small cold corner. Outside the wind was howling, and he felt the building shake as the tornado went right over him. He closed his eyes, as the tears fell, on the already wet floor.
Greg didn't know how long it had been but everything seemed quiet now. He went up the stairs and peered out. The sun had come out again and their was a chill in the air. He looked around and saw the destruction of everything around him. The house was gone, Pheobe was gone.
He made his way toward what was left of the Janeway house when something caught his eye lying on the ground in front of him. We walked over and then had to close his eyes.
