Changing times

Date: 8/5/2019

I was in a house in front of green pastures as I looked, the surface of the land started to move like the surface of the sea, land tides rolling like waves on the ocean. In places I saw thick black tar bubble up to the surface. What was once a high place had been made low from the movement. We knew we had to leave it wasn’t safe anymore, as a sign we were leaving, we set fire to a hat outside the house the same as our neighbours had done. We put food, something like rice into a bunch of leather pouches that had draw strings to close them. My neighbour did the same but noticed I had one more than her and wondered where I had got that from. Her family noticed the draw strings were woven into a pattern and each of her family had to pull at the same time on there part of the pouch to close them. Out side the house we saw people racing each other on horses even though the land was unstable as they continued a wall rose out of the ground very high. in front of them and blocked the way.
