Somewhere in the Universe - Harrison Broyles

Somewhere in the universe is a child. A child who has just suffered a terrible tragedy. Their country is shook by a devastating earthquake, one so powerful they felt it across oceans. Millions are dead, including the child's mother, father, brother and two sisters. The child is alone. The child has been forgotten. Fires rage all around them, and the average person has turned to looting, robbing, and murdering in order to survive. It is every man for themselves, and no one is there to care for the child, holding onto a blanket and their mom's cold hand, laying in hope that someone will save them, as a single tear trickles out of the corner of their eye and falls to the ground.

The child will pass hungry and alone, as the rest of the world toasts to a prosperous life of their own, oblivious to the tragedies next door.
