A Terrifying Day/October 1,1987, was a terrifying day for me. It was 7:30 on a Thursday morning in Mexico. I was alone because my parents were out of town. Suddenly, the room stared to shake. Some dishes fell to the floor. I did not know what to do,so I got under a table. A few minutes later, I come out and tried to turn on the television, but the electricity was off. After that, I tried the telephone, but it did not work . Shortly after,the neighbors came to see if l was my mother from Mexico City. She was more frightened than l was.
