"Hey Blondie, in theater 7!" my friend Myra reminded me. My friends giggled.
I had been out of it lately.. "Oh, right."
My friends said there was this really scary movie "we just had to see". So I reluctantly agreed. Movies weren't really my thing. At least not in the theaters. Something about the dark theater room made me uncomfortable. But like I said, I had been a little out of it lately, so I just wanted to get out and do something.
So here I was.
The movie started. It wasn't even a scary movie, unless you natural disasters scary. I rolled my eyes. Lame.
I glanced at Myra. She seemed to be enjoying it though. Her eyes were glued to the screen. I sighed boringly and tried to get into it, but it just wasn't happening. The movie went on showing fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, ect. Gosh this was boring..
Before I could fall asleep, I heard piercing screams coming from the movie. I jerked my head up and saw the people on screen run for lives as they tried to find shelter from something. "Whats their issue?" I thought. Then the camera zoomed in to reveal the ground dangerously shaking as a mountain crumbled to pieces.
I had no sympathy. I mean sure, it would be scary if it happened to you, but its not like this would ever happen in Jump city.
But as I continued watching, I felt like I had already seen this. I cocked my head to the side as I watched huge mounds of rock being cracked in the mountain and watched as gravity pulled them down towards the ground.
I couldn't recall where I had once seen this, but regardless of that my stomach started twisting in pain. My hands turned cold and began sweating. I started feeling nauseous even though I didn't know why I would have a reason to be..
"Myra, I'll be right back". I barely got the words out of my mouth before I escaped the theater room.
I ran into the bathroom and thrusted the stall door open. I closed my eyes and leaned against the stall door.
I took big breaths trying to rid the nausea.
I let out a frustrated sigh. What is this reaction?
But before I could manage to answer my own question, a flashback hit me so hard it knocked the breath out of me.
'I was being chased by a monster in a forrest. The monster made a lunge towards me but I leaped and sprang onto a massive boulder for my life. Then the rock began to fly. I cried out in triumph as the monster's punch missed me and my flying rock carried me to safety. But before I could let out a sigh of relief, the boulder began gaining rapid speed for its size and headed straight towards a mountain on the edge of the forrest. I adjusted my goggles and tried to turn the boulder the direction I intended it to go in the first place, but it wasn't budging.
I lost control.
The boulder and mountain acted like magnets as the rock picked it up more speed. I gave up trying to control it. The boulder was only five feet from the mountain when I sprang off of it and fell thirty feet to the ground. I rapidly waved my arms and legs trying to steady myself while falling, but it was of no use. I grabbed a tiny piece of stone and held onto it for my life with one hand until I hit the ground with a clumsy crashing motion.
And when my feet meet the earth, I watched just in time to see the boulder make direct contact with the mountain.
It destroyed the foundation of the mountain.
I gasped in horror as I watched large pieces of stone and sediment being broken off the mountain and sliding down. My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach. I stared at the mountain one last time.
And finally, the mountain collapsed.'
