As those words ran out of his mouth
Toppling over eachother

She could feel the roof cave in
She saw the walls push toward her
She heard the screams
“Are those mine? His?”

She screamed louder
Felt like crying, but no tears came out
Her rib cage collapsed onto her lungs
The very thing they are meant to protect

The walls and ceiling seemed to disappear
Her vision and hearing went hazy
Until she saw nothing
Heard nothing

She could feel the screams in her throat
No noise came out
At least not one audible to her

She felt him grab her arm
She pushed him off
She tried to yell for him to leave

The whole place collopsed
Leaving her there alone
In the mess she created
