The Wave (Narrative)

This is also one of my narratives that I like. I hope you enjoy it. :)

It was a beautiful Sunday for the Smith family. The sun was shinning brightly, the skies were blue, and the seagulls were squacking loudly above the golden beach. Jack Smith just woke up. Mrs. Smith was cooking breakfast and Mr. Smith was reading the news paper. They are preparing to go to church. It was a day that felt like there's nothing that can go wrong.

            The Smith family rode the car to the church but they realize that the parking lot was empty. When they went inside, but there was nobody there. "Where did everybody go?" Jack asked. "Something must be wrong." Mr. Smith said. "Maybe the church is closed." Mrs. Smith said.

            So they went back home. Jack wanted to watch TV but their TV was broken. So he decided to go to the beach. Same as the church the beach was empty too, but Jack did not mind. He built a sand castle and played in the waves. While he was playing he saw a blue figure far in the ocean. Then he realizes that it was a tsunami!

            He ran home as fast as he could. "Mom! Dad! There is a tsunami! I saw it from the beach!" Jack yelled in panic. "So everyone already evacuated?" Mr. Smith asked. "We were not informed because our TV is broken." Mrs. Smith said. "We have to evacuate, NOW!" Jack shouted.

             They ran through the evacuation route as fast as they could. When they looked back, they saw the wave cathing up to them. They could see the evacuation area in the front of them. They were so close but then Jack tripped and fell down. He tried to get up but it was too late. He was strucked hard by the wave and he felt a terrible pain on his back....

            When he opened his eyes the first thing he saw was the bright light like in the hospital. He was confused because the last thing he remembered was the tsunami. A few minutes later the doctors came in and they were very shocked but happy. The doctors said to Jack"You have been unconcious for 8 years since you were strucked by the tsunami." A thought appeared in Jack's mind "Where is my parents?" "I'm sorry to say, but your parents did not survive the disaster." the doctor said sadly.

            Tears formed on Jack's eyes. He felt hopeless and desperate, but he thought that he should never give up. After he recovered, he went outside. It was a very different city. A city that was better than the old one. The thoughts of his parents gave him the courage to go on. He was determined to go on and face the new world.
