A screeching siren blasted around town, the sky opened it's mouth and showed its teeth. It snarled, scratched, and bit leaving a scar to never be forgotten. The trees were naked, the homes in piles. A thriving town reduced to a salvage yard. Schools, cars, homes, and stores we grew up knowing changed forever. The back way home became a maze. Lost in our own neighborhood. We know the confusion and pain. Together we are threads of string entwined. The hurt is real. Know our hearts hurt with you. Together, hope will restore faith and the trees will green again.

Mr Stehm's class, what an exceptional piece of writing you have entered this week! My favourite line was 'It snarled, scratched, and bit leaving a scar to never be forgotten.' I really think this captures how our friends in the Philippines would be feeling and this devastation is something that will be cleaned up but never forgotten, especially for those who have lost their lives!
