A True Story

People generally believe that bad things only happen to other people, but never to them. That's what I used to think until last year.

One night last May, I was asleep in my bed when I had a strange feeling. I opened my eyes and saw that everything was in place. I lay in bed feeling confused. Before I could realise what it was, I heard glass shatter and I felt a violent gust of wind pulled me from my bed. I was terrified. I tried to grab something that would keep me from flying through the smashed window. I grabbed the wooden frame of the bed and managed to hold on until the wind died down.

I was shaken but relieved at the same time. I left the building and ran to my parents' house for safety. They lived in the same neighbourhood, so I got there very quickly. Fortunately, I found them safe and their house was still standing.

What I experienced was a tornado. Never in my life did I think that I would ever experience anything as disastrous as that. I learned one thing though, and that is never to take life for granted.
