And Then It Stopped

Thunder, high winds and rain In disbelief, I watched it all while sitting in a moving train The train chugged slowly along its route I struggled to keep an eye on my sports bag with the stolen loot Children were screaming when lightning struck They hid under the tables, the best place for them to duck On this scary journey, the train came off the tracks People were thrown about like empty sacks Compartments broke loose Within seconds of the train hitting a large stranded moose All seven carriages toppled over and many passengers were caught inside Passengers were crying, badly injured and some even died In the chaos, I searched for my money bag that I had dropped And then it stopped 4/7/2017
