The deafening bombs rang noisily in my brain, increasing like a rapid meteorite flailing through the empty, hollow universe before ultimately penetrating Earth's surface. I was blindly running away from the turbulence, forcefully hoisting my feet in order to prod through the disheveled ground amongst other panicked citizens also wishing to flee.
