The tsunami struck the town like a blow. There were some that were prepared, but many were not. They had heard the warnings but stubbornly refused to listen. As the tsunami hit, a wave of regret also collided with those who had previously thought they knew better. Pride, water, danger, regret, it all hit quickly and mercilessly.

i feel it shattering through my bones, mincing part by part swiftly into smithereens. before that, a flash enters my mind as i wordlessly watch the wave tower above my small figure. it stands tall, oh so high. reminiscient of a skyscraper.
it all fades to black.

The water drew back in little quivering squares. The fish flopped and the children rushed in to see, eagerly tripping over themselves to pick out rare shells just now uncovered. And then the water came back…
What a feeling. A disgusting giant fawning over me like a tsunami of bodily fluids and limbs. I just stayed still and sat with the feelings – working through the numbness of shock to listen to my body recognise disgust and sadness and anger. Now what to do about it?

The tsunami had washed over the island, whose shoreline had receded for the past year due to the higher water level due to climate change. Houses, animals, foods and whole families disappeared. When people went to look for the survivors, they couldn’t find the island. It had also disappeared.
