Cataclysm

by K.Z. Riley

I was on a plane when it happened.
The end of the world.
At least that’s what everyone was calling it.
I was going to be with my family.
I wanted to be with them before my life got hectic.
We didn’t expect anything like this.
Snow came out of nowhere.
The winds picked up.
The plane was tossed left and right.
There was nothing anyone could do.
I continued to sit in my seat with my eyes squeezed shut.
Praying to whomever would listen to me.
I just wanted to make it out of this situation alive.
I would figure everything else out later.

About the author

KZ Riley is 29 years old and lives near Lubbock, Texas where the wind blows constantly. She has been married to her husband for 7 years and they have two daughters together. She has been an avid reader for as long as she can remember and recently took that love to the next level. First, it started by being an ARC and BETA reader for authors, then she began her own review page to let others know of amazing books she was reading, and finally she came to the ultimate outcome: an author yourself. For several years, she played with the idea of writing a story and even jotted down notes and storylines, but never had the courage to finish a complete to and publish it. It was with the help from the Penned in Ink group that she put her fears aside and decided to go for it.

Teylie finally finished her degree and was on a plain heading home to see her parents after way to long. The plane crashed after an unusual, but epic storm and the only survivors were Teylie and the guy she felt drawn to, Dagen.
This is an interesting short story of what could happen (with a supernatural twist) when the world goes haywire.
