A Day I Will Not Forget

I was eating lunch at my desk. I heard and felt a loud rumble. Had a transformer blown up? There was smoke and we evacuated. We put scarves or ripped shirt sleeves around our soot-covered faces. It was both scary, yet calm. The lights went out. We walked down 86 floors in the dark. Six people died that day. The rest were safe. I don’t like the dark anymore.
