I slammed open the door to find my grandpa had begun to make ginger tea. Meanwhile my siblings were still hiding under the table after the recent tremor, still scared anticipating more of them to come. My grandfather looked at my faced filled with fear and terror. He opened his arms and told me,[Grandpa] "Seong! What happened to you my son!!", he said as he took hold of my shoulders. [Seong]"Grandpa!You have to take Kyong and Nari Out of the city!!Something terrible is happening. Weird monsters appearing out of random places!! tremors everywhere. The city isn't safe!! We have to leave NOW!!!". [Grandpa]"Calm down son!!the authorities will take care of this!!". All of a sudden, the TV turns on. [Reporter]"Hello New York City!! This is Jake Simmons with an emergency broadcast from the Mayor explaining the recent unusual events taking place in our beloved city". The TV cuts to the Mayor on a podium.[Mayor]"My beloved citizens, I know that you are scared about the recent tremors and the hideos beasts that are roaming free in our city, but worry not, these problems have been the cause of a recent sting on a Mafia doing illegal animal and human genetic testing and illegal drug manufacturing underneath our city in our sewers. We received a report that during the confrontation, the criminals refused to give themselves up, even while being outnumbered and surrounded. As a last ditch effort they decided to shoot their weapons at our brave police force to make a way to escape. Unfortunately one of the shots hit a gasline causing an ignition, all the tremors you felt were caused by the consequential explosions that took place with the gaslines that were connected to the one that was set on fire. All the people that were on that sting, didn't survive, they were all engulfed in the fire. Right now we are still getting reports on injured sewer workers that were working on the maintenance of the sewers and were caught up in the fire and debris caused by the explosions. Our firefighters are still trying to bravely control the fires and treat the injured while ambulances and hospitals transport and care for the people injured in this horrible incident. Meanwhile, the remainder of our police force are trying to rein in the creatures that were created or being tested on by the mafia that escaped during the confusion of the ordeal. We are now showing a QR code at the left corner of your screen so that you can scan it and pinpoint in the map your location or the last known location of a creature you saw so that our police force can deal with it in an appropriate manner. Take caution, the creatures have violents tendencies and are to be considered extremely dangerous. Please seek shelter or if you're close to home, get there quickly as we cannot guarantee your safety at this time if you're outside. And once again, I ask only that you have faith and remain calm as New York's Finest do their job. Hope you have a good evening, and god bless America."
As the TV shut off, I stood there, stunned. "I can't believe it" I thought, Seeing that man, with his clear blue eyes, finely cut black hair, shiny cinnamon skin, in his finely tailored indigo suit, deep blue tie, and white collared t-shirt, looking straight at me with fine posture behind a podium. I felt angry, "Speaking straight BULLS!#T while looking like that!!even while knowing his words will cost lives!!", I thought. He was doing this for two reasons, either he was trying to carry all the burden and resolve the situation all on his own, or he was buying time in order to evacuate from the city with his loved ones while the rest of the people are laid out like bait. "Best to presume the worst." I thought, [Seong]"pictures.", while my siblings and grandpa turned around to see me. [Grandpa]"What?". [Seong]"Why isn't social media blowing up with pictures if such a thing actually happened?or what about smoke from the fires in the sewers, why aren't we seeing any of that?". Then, my grandfather's expression started to become serious. As if he was starting to consider my decision that I made earlier, then.[Grandpa]"I know what you're thinking, No!", [Seong]"But why?!?", [Grandpa]"Even though what the mayor has said are mostly lies, there are still dangerous creatures outside, seeing how shooked you are, that much is true, and I can't put you or your siblings in Danger!!!",[Seong]"But Grandpa, if-",[Grandpa]"I JUST CAN'T!!!Seong! I made a promise...That day when my son, Your Father!!Died, I promised to do anything within my power to protect you, and by god I will!!". [Seong]"Grandpa...I know you're scared and that you love us, but you have to think it thoroughly, people will not stay calm. We're in a city packed with panicking people, who knows what they're capable of, It'll be a miracle if it's only riots in the streets, but with those monsters and earthquakes as well. We both know it will be too much for the mayor and the police to handle. If we're in the open, in a place less crowded, with no tall buildings to crush us while the earth trembles, we would be much safer. As for those monsters, as far as anyone knows, they're only in the city. We could go to the inter-state bus terminal, book a non-expensive drive to Dansbury, and lay low while all of this gets resolved, all right?It's not too far away and it's not crowded, what do you say?". I knew I was lying, the way the elves talked about it, it made it seem like this was happening all over the world. And a little skip over the city wasn't gonna gurantee our safety, but it was a whole of a lot better than staying in one place like sitting ducks with a huge flock. My grandfather, looking a bit agitated, standing in the middle of the room, looking up, frowned eye brows, massaging his eyes with his hand, let out a sigh, put down his hand, turned to look at my siblings, then at me, and said, [Grandpa]"FINE, Lets get out of here".
