Dragonwings (Earthquake)

It was the thirteen days after I had a horriable dream about the earthquake hit on Middle Kingdom. Just a little after A.M. demon time, I had gotten dressed and gone out to the pump to get some water. The morning was filled with that soft, gentle twilight of spring, when everything is filled with soft , dreamy colors and shapes, one of the pictures of the terriable dream was appeared in my brain, I suddenly saw the wood , stone , brick and the very earth became fluidlike. The pail beneath the pump jumped and rattled like a spider dancing on a hot stove. The ground deliberately seemed to slide right out from under me. I landed on my backhard enough to drive the wind ofrom my lungs. The whole world had became unglued. Our stable and Miss Whitlaw's house and the tenements to either side heaved and bobbed up and down, rising the ground like ships on a heavy sea. Down the alley mouth, Icould see the cobblestone street undulate and twist like a red-backed snake. I had almost been stunned , I shout loudly. My father heard my shout, he ran out more faster than before and asked me 'Hey, my son! What is the matter with you , are you okay? ' ' I don't know what happen, I saw many horriable things happen like there is an earhtquake!' I answered with my shaking voice. Then, my father quickly felt and observed the place carefully , he said ' Moon Shadow, it seem like nothing was happened, are you sick?' 'I think it must be my horriable dream', I answered. ' What are you saying?' Father asked curiously. Then I told all the things about the bad dream. Suddenly, Miss Whitlaw came out from her house and said in a horriable voice 'Your country had an earthquake a few days ago!' We all stood there for few minutes, then my father suddenly said in a surprise voice ' Our country had an earthquake, how did you know it Miss Whitlaw?' ' I have heard it from the other friends,' she said. Father and I went to the train station and tried to go on train without the demon saw us. Finally, we successed.
