Tsunami

I don't remember where we started out but I remember being at a beach or a hill and I saw the waves recede at long distances. I knew immediately that a tsunami was coming so my family and I ran to a nearby hill. We thought it was pretty high so we stayed where we were. We watched as the giant wave came crashing down. The first wave did reach the hill but the water barely had a chance to touch the top. We stood and watched for a while. Eventually, we decided to go somewhere higher. However, it was too late. On our way up the second wave came. It receded way farther back than the first. I heard someone yell, "What the fuck?" I turned back and saw a wave bigger than the overall buildings and the hill. We all tried to run away as fast as we can but we knew we couldn't escape. Soon before it hit, I stopped running and crouched. I hugged my head and embraced myself for the impact. When the waves hit I felt my body being swung around. My vision would then turn black. A few seconds later, I was back on the hill with my family. Confused, I looked around me. "Is this whats after death?" I thought. Hoping this was a reset, I took my family higher up while we still had a chance. We kept climbing and climbing until the second wave began to flood the lands. I turn back again to see the water destroying and killing. But we didn't die. The water didn't reach us like it did before. Eventually, the sea calmed down and the cloudy sky turned sunny, indicating we survived.
