‘BANG! CRASH!’- Kyla, 10, Hororata Primary School

Rattle, rattle! I thought Devin was shaking the bed until…I fell out of bed like a skydiver. Thomp, thomp as footsteps approached. I was panicking. I did not know what to do. My Dad yelled “kids are you under your beds?!!”

We replied softly “yes.”

I heard my brother Troy saying “No I can’t die now it’s my birthday in two days, no God help!” BANG! CRASH! Things were flying everywhere. When it was daylight I walked into the kitchen.
“WOW” I couldn’t believe my eyes. Glass and heaters all smashed on the ground, I knew that we weren’t prepared because we could not find the lighter or a torch. The worst could be about to happen any second or minute, it could strike again. Afterwards the shocks are still happening, bigger and smaller. Watch out EARTHQUAKE!!
