Chapter 321
Emma glanced back, her heart pounding in her chest. The roar of the tsunami filled the air, drowning out all other sounds. She could feel the spray of saltwater on her face, a reminder of nature's raw power.
They reached a relatively safe spot, a ridge that overlooked the now-devastated shoreline. The tsunami had swept away trees, debris, and anything else in its path, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
The group huddled together, catching their breath and taking in the aftermath. Emma's mind raced with thoughts of survival, finding food, water, and shelter in this new reality.
"We need to stay vigilant,"
Emma reiterated, her voice firm despite the fear in her eyes.
"Nature won't go easy on us, but we can't let it break us."
The others nodded in agreement, their expressions a mix of determination and uncertainty. They were survivors now, bound by the shared experience of escaping death once again.
