Dark Skies

It is amazing how quickly a sunny day can turn into something so dark and evil. Recently I watched the movie The Impossible, and it was based on the tsunami that hit Thailand. In particular it focused on one family that was vacationing at a Thailand resort, right on the beach. It was a beautiful sunny day. The father was in the pool with the twins and the mom was reading a book by a glass wall that lead to the green house. The eldest boy was off somewhere by the pool as well. All within shouting distance. Suddenly the birds fly over head and the trees begin to shake as the ground starts to rumble like thunder. The mother locates her eldest and they both yell for one another. Then the mother yells at her husband whose holding the young twins. All trying to brace one another for the giant tsunami wave that is about to crash into them with astronomical force and strength. The mother watches as her sons and husband are hit with the wave and all she can do is hug her book and crouch close to the glass wall. It hits her and you see her being tossed through the current and underneath the water she gets snagged by sticks and cut by the broken shards of glass. She cries out but only to waste her breath. Finally she surfaces with a gasp for air. The current is still taking her back to the ocean as she yells for Lucas, her eldest son. Shortly she hears Lucas cry out and they both attempt to fight the current in order to reach one another. Before they can another wave tears them apart and farther from each other.
