Before — Original
CRASH!!! The next one went off. BOOM!!! Then the next, like screeches ripping through my ear every minute, every second. The last one sounded about four miles away, each one getting closer and closer it seems like. The last one was about seven miles, now it’s four.
“Don’t freak, don’t freak!” My 10 year old sister Kara cries in her mind, I can hear all her thoughts rushing through her head like a bullet train flying over the tracks. No matter what, we have to stay put, until our parents get back. The last thing they said was they were going to an award night that my dad had, but that was before the attack, before they destroyed our city.

CRASH. The next one goes off. BOOM. Then another, each blast ripping through my ears like screeches. They started seven miles away, but then, closer and closer. Now it sounds like four.
"Don't freak, don't freak!" my ten-year-old sister Kara cries in her mind. I hear her thoughts rush through her head, a bullet train flying over the tracks. No matter what, we have to stay put until our parents get back. They left earlier this evening for dad's award night, but that was before the attack. Before they destroyed our city.
