Volcanoes in the city

Date: 11/22/2020

Me and my girlfriend and two other friends were swimming in a lake downtown, we were playing in rough waves when they started to get bigger and more rough and unforgiving, we swam over to see what was causing the waves and a volcano was going off. We swam for shore but didn’t reach it before my leg was hit with a spew of lava (or a chunk of burning ash). We scrambled up, me with a searing burn, and we ran for the Main Street, trying to get home, because home would’ve been safe, me and my friend made it, but my girlfriend and her friend got lost in the panic, and I was beyond upset. The streetlights and power went out in the city while we were walking down Main Street trying to find a way home, so I pulled out my phone and used the flashlight. I was panicked and had tears streaked down my face because I was injured and I couldn’t find my girlfriend and I didn’t know if anyone I loved or cared for was safe or even alive. I woke up shuddering.
