Twenty Twenty-Four Rhythm

The year has begun with a massive explosion, in Japan it wasn’t a firework, but it looked like an experiment that had gone wrong. It started with a massive 7.6 earthquake that prompted everyone to evacuate, roads burst in two blocking the human path and burying the people in the dark. 

 An entire town was reduced to rubble, stirring up ancestral trouble. building material fell from the house forming heaps upon heaps, and rusty sheets of zinc scattered in the bushes, those houses must have been built for more than a century, at the slightest tremor of the quake everything fell apart in seconds and not one column was left standing. 

And just across the square, a seven Storey building leans gently on the side, it looks like one of the earthquake model buildings that was rocking and rocking in the direction of the quake, but it never gives way.  

There was no sign of human life around everyone was evacuated from the town, the supermarkets and business were empty and there were goods on the ground, but no one picked them up because it is forbidden to steal . The owner will come and find them in same way they left them, that is the culture in if Japan. 

The predicted tsunami that had countries on high alert never came and everyone had to move to higher grounds before destiny marched into the town, but the miracle had passed and save the town from the strategic lost. It looks like an experiment that could not topple the city at midnight. 

And just when I thought it was over the twenty twenty-four rhythm was just about to begin, one airplane coming in from the cold, landing on top of the little one that was bold both collide on the on the runway, one was going out and the other was coming but destiny done both   of them in.  

It did not spare an hour or a day the incursion happens right away. The passenger evacuates the big plane within ninety seconds, but the coast guard plane had one that was save and a big explosion set both planes ablaze.  

That is the twenty twenty-four new year’s rhythm let’s begin!
