Me and one of my best friends Jake we’re driving through an old town near our home town. We parked and started walking but the streets were kind of flooded. Not too flooded but enough to get our feet wet. We see a ufo or a very secret military craft flying in the distance about to pass over our home town. And then we hear a sonic boom. Suddenly the reflection in our eyes are filled with fire. A massive flaming mushroom cloud is right before our eyes. Me and jake run to a building and try to get inside but the doors are locked so we kind of just hugged the wall. The blast settled and we both immediately started making calls to our loved ones. My mother picked up the phone and told me she was fine but that one of my other best friends Miguel had died from the blast. My eyes filled with tears and I didn’t tell Jake yet because I just couldn’t process it myself. We get back to the Truck and there are people surrounding it. I asked “what the hell are you guys doing?” They were hoping whoever it belonged to was “gone” so that they could take it and get home. Jakes truck only had 2 seats well 3 seats technically if someone sits in the middle. One of the people opens the door after I closed it and I said “hey man chill the fuck out” he started begging for us to let him in because he was so intoxicated when the cops get there they are going to immediately arrest him. We get back to Rochester and find our friend Evan wandering an area near the college he attends. We picked him up to take him home even tho the truck was cramped as hell. We are getting closer to the blast area and are starting to see destruction. Homes half destroyed cars melted down to look like blobs man the heat was unreal. It felt like we were never gonna make it home. We made it past the city area and were back in our side of town. We got back and we’re on the highway when jakes steering wheel Locked up and we hit a guard rail. We flipped off the highway onto a long downward hill. Jake was using the momentum of the car to make it hit the ground at the right angle. Then BOOM we hit the ground safely. We all looked at each other and started laughing although we were soon reminded of the catastrophe and tragedy surrounding the day.
