I was about seven or eight years old and it was my mother and I at the dinner table. Suddenly everything turned black and white. The table and chairs vandished and my mother turned to stone. Then a giant hole opened underneath my mother and she fell. I dropped to my knees trying to catch her but it was too late. I was petrified. I started to ball and woke up still balling. |
