It happened at night, in the dark.
I could see the light cross me while staring up at a flare.
I felt the heat hit me as it passed me by.
It was like opening a hot oven, for the first time.
At that moment I see a family running into a big, dark, brick building.
I could even hear the heat cross me.
The next thing I know, BOOOM!
Bricks were then all over the street.
I saw the remains of the family that had to have been almost everywhere.
I closed my eyes in tears staring at the family that had once been mine wishing I'd have died with them.
So I whispered,
"I tried momma."
I had opened my eyes looking into the heart of this light that was headed towards me then,
...BOOM!
