Running Away to Safety

I was in some kinda weird place. Can't remember how it looked but it was bright and it was a long hallway. I do remember that my city was going to blow up and I needed to escape the place. As with everyone else I was with, we ran for our life. We had to slide down on these tree roots (which hung over a bottomless pit) to get to a subway stop. I stepped in and waited. My older sister was next to me so I asked her, "Where are we going?" "To the airport." "What about mom and dad?" She didn't reply. We got off the subway. It was snowing outside. There was a airport quiet a bit of way from the subway but no road to get to it. We walked and walked. I wished that we weren't there, and then I blacked out. I wake up in a taxi. I step out and onto a walkway near the water. It was dark so I turned on my flashlight. There I spot my sister and my cousin already there. We walk to the ledge near the water and looked around. A few large cranes were in the water as well as a giant support skeleton for an incomplete building. "The new trade tower..." Is what came up in my mind. It was very big. I see a medium sized boat pass by. There on it were my parents and relatives having fun. I wave at them and tried to get their attention but they ignored me. I felt many tears as I cried, knowing that I will have no home to go to or family to stay with. The End.
