Got balls

The citizens of The Ice Phoenix City woke up hearing a thunderous sound. In the darkness of night, they stumbled out of their bed in panic. 

"Boom."

"Boom."

The sound echoed again and again.

They had no idea what was causing the noise, nor could they pinpoint the source.

Young, old. Strong, weak. Everyone in the city soon felt an ominous feeling enshroud them.

Instead of thinking about what was happening, they began to rush towards their family members. There was no time to waste.

Something terrible was happening and they needed to escape. It was the only thought in their mind as they scrambled in the darkness.

Maybe it was the survival instinct that kicked in. After the initial shock, they began to organise and find ways to escape the danger.
