EARTHQUAKE! EARTHQUAKE! EARTHQUAKE!

Earthquake! Whoohoooo! It was fun! Heh, just listen 'ere. It was a day like any other. Was taking a shower, and wondering if I should brush my teeth before, or after drying up. Then the shower cabin doors started to shuffle. "Huh.. Did I left the bathroom door open?" I thought. Then, the proper quakes came. And they came hard. "Oh, It's an Earthquake." I thought. I adorned my bathrobe and braced at the doorframe. It was surreal. Back and forth, back and forth, sometimes left, sometimes right. It was awfully fun. Surprisingly, I felt no fear. I did recognize something as fear, but registered it as just unrefined excitement. Weird... I wanted the building to go down. I wanted to be buried under the rubble. I wanted to break my leg. I wanted to be dragged out of the wreck and hurried to a hospital. I started to laugh. As the ground below me wanted me dead, as the building I live in fancied itself a rubber stick, I started to laugh. It was awfully funny, cause It was awfully fun. Me, standing there, wet and slippery with soap, steam of the bath hitting my back, ready to bolt out but not wanting to run away. Pushing my weight against the frame cause my wet hands can't grab the handlers. Hehe. Then It stopped. Being shaken that long and this hard will leave you dazed. A constant vertigo will set in. A haze, a high. It feels as if the earthquake didn't stopped yet, but you know that it has. It's a weird feeling. I name it, "The Quake-Head". It is a nice feeling. I de-adorned my bathrobe and finished my bath. As I was finishing it, cabin doors started to shake again. I pointed my finger at it and said in my most serious tone, "No." This one didn't last as long as the last one. I dressed up, got outside and, rid the crowd. Everyone is outside. Everyone is terrified. Everyone has a phone glued to their ears. Even the stray cats and dogs are confused by the sudden influx of bipedals. Everyone is living The Doom. And I am enjoying my little jog through the streets, while silently chuckling to myself. People turn and look at me with, those eyes... I cannot explain those eyes... I walked for hours. Earsdropping on their adventures, listening to their future plans, and wondering to myself, "Why is no one having fun?" We should sing praises to our architects then point and laugh at the other poor buggers. Old friendships should be let alight again. We should be meeting new people. Reform our tiny society and re-shake heheihhihhihieihiehihi our personalities. No. There was none of that. I slept in the car for the night. Got back into my house at morning light. And now I'm typing this out. I like feeling. Do you like feeling? I love feeling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTH71AAxXmM

all I do is feel

It's as if I wrote this while sleep walking last night, this was how I felt during my first time experiencing a proper earth quake. Thanks lain.

I didn't even notice my first earthquake. I really don't know how.. We don't get earthquakes around here. From what I'm told, it was just one single THUNK, like the earth just slipped down a single step. Have you ever done that? Slipped down a single step.. It's like you plant your heel a little too far forward, right on the ledge, and it starts slipping down, then THUNK.. but then everything's cool, man, everything's stable as before. As for that `quake-head' experience, I think it's probably like being dizzy: after spinning, your equilibriosensors are still in the `spinning' mode, or, in the case of quakes, `shaken up.'

The earthquake I lived a few years ago was fun, too. Well I had fun. Kind of like OP, it was like something FINALLY happened. The shaking was fun, a concrete bridge shaked on it's foundations of questionable quality like jelly. I saw a bus on top of it that looked like it was about to topple and fall from 3 stories high. Afterwards, the streets flooded with people. It was a highly residential area, and schools immediately got besieged by worried moms. People were running around while speaking on their phones, and I saw a column of smoke from a nearby mall. The main bus network cut service, and along the bus lane you could see streams of people walking back home in it's lieu. I strolled around looking at people go crazy all over. In the subsequent days I'd get to see many buildings that were seriously damaged and abandoned, as well as streets that were closed to traffic. People walked down the street always looking up to the wires abovehead, just in case.

can't wait for the Big One. Maybe it will finally snap people out of their stupor and make them realize how fuarrrking stupid it is to rely so much on such shaky infrastructure.

>>20678 I fuarrrking know right I also am not really keen on dying under a soykafty building that I can't even own.
