The Fault Line: Buried in the Rubble with My Sister

Summary

The rescue worker’s voice was grim. "The rubble is completely unstable. If we pull one out, the whole thing could pancake and collapse."

Without a second of hesitation, my parents screamed, "Save Savannah first!"

My sister echoed them from the dark, screaming, "Save me! Save me first!"

The firefighter had repeatedly warned us not to move a muscle during the extraction.

But Savannah didn't listen. She panicked, violently shoving at the debris around her.

The shifting weight triggered a collapse, and I was crushed to death under the concrete.
