Reborn, I Made My Husband Leave Empty-Handed

My daughter was gone, taken by that sudden, unexpected earthquake.

That day, all I could feel was the violent shaking of the ground. I held her tight, singing nursery rhymes, assuring her not to be afraid.

I comforted her, "Daddy will come save us soon..."

But as the crumbling house above us collapsed, I saw with my own eyes my husband running in another direction without looking back.

The concrete turned to mud, the steel beams returned to their frames, and everything was rebuilt.

I survived, but my precious Nora became just a memory.
