did you see/feel the earth dancing?

listening to fade into you - mazzy star

i was online, playing literati with some German guy. suddenly, saw the computer screen moving. a disastrous earthquake hit my city (lahore) and other neighboring towns on Saturday morning. an earthquake measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale. 1500 people already reported dead.. the earthhquake that stopped clocks and awakened people.

in just under 30 seconds, a building was destroyed, everything was moving around me and roads and the ground were so upset -- curving like waves. the floor rolling like the deck of a ship at sea, while out of the window other houses could be seen swaying crazily. the buildings seemed to continue rocking and rolling for what seemed like eternity after the ground stopped shaking.

since i m almost wrong 'bout things like these, i gave the quake a few seconds before i decided to freak out. since it kept getting stronger, i decided to follow the routine and place myself in the doorway.

then the aftershocks.

for those of who were sleeping sound missed real good shit. one thing is for sure, i wont be bragging for about a month that "nothing happens in my town".
fortunately, no injury or damage done to me.

however, i am changed inside.
