The Earthquake

I was lounging in the pool when the tremors began. At first I thought nothing off it, but they became more powerful with each passing moment and before I knew it, the waters of my pool drained away.
I started to panic, clinging desperately on as my world shook violently. I was being sucked down into the abyss and fighting a losing battle against the forces of nature.
By now, the shockwaves were more frequent, like a storm getting closer.
Immense steel jaws clamped onto my head and dragged me unwillingly into the light. Screaming in terror, I was born.
