《Last days in Jail》雪血

2、Part II

　　It was a good quiet night. My pal came back after the last post, he told me the doctor used a small machine which looked like a torch to cure him, it should be some new technology. We chat about the weather until midnight, actually, not only us, the whole block of prisoners stayed up until 2 o'clock, when I really felt tired.
　　The next morning, the wind still didn't stopped, it seemed a bit stronger, I mean, we could find something bigger than yesterday blowing towards us. Such as bricks, metal buckets, and big boards. So dangerous it was, if we were outdoor. So because of the big wind, we get to stayed in our 'cages', to prevent any injuries happen again. The wind blowed and didn't stop, but among lunch, when we got back to our rooms, we found the wind stopped. exactly stopped, you couldn't even feel a gentle breeze. So we started our discussion again, about the wind. A neighbor said it might be great rain, very big rain. He told us in his country, when a very big rain is coming, this will happen. He mentioned us the disaster happen in Indonisia 47 years ago. He said, he was there at the moment, and first it was great wind like typhoon, and then the rain pour down like a waterfall, it flooded one third land of Indonisia, which was one of the most famous natural disaster among the last 100years.
　　We looked outside, the sky is really dark, just like in the night, we can't see any further than where the lighthouse can light. The scene is showing us an ill omen, whatever it is, it's going to be the biggest natural disaster we, or the human beings have ever seen before. All the wind are only the really first part, way behind it is something mysterious, dangerous, unthoughtable.

　　Two hours later, the fact turned my neighbor's prediction to come true. It rained. This is the biggist rain I've ever seen on the world. Everybody is running into the shelter. Wooden roofs made for the temporary securities crashed. I saw a man ran out, and got pushed on the ground immediately. I couldn't imagine what will happen if it keeps raining for a whole afternoon, or our drainage brokes, will we be all drowned to death? My neighbor seems lot more worried than I do. I know he may have seen a similar scene before, and understand what does such a big rain hints. But I quite understand now, too. We are not going to fought agaist this power, it is not going to be a fight between human and natural power, it is going to be a massacre. And we have no one to surround to, we may be dead for sure.
　　This world is fair, I can guess that among the past years while I am in here, the civilized world may did lot damage to the nature, this could be an avanger, to the entire civilization. If we determind to change the world for us to survive, the natural one day will also change us for the natural to survive. We are equal, the only thing is, we, human beings, attacked first, so we are predestined to be doomed. This made me memorized the words in 'Dr.Faustus', 'Where we live, is hell.'

　　Though our building has the second best water proof and drainage in the world, the corridor still got flooded. All of us stayed on our bed, that was the only way we could find at present to prevent ourselves to get wet. The water is quite clean, but we wouldn't try to wash our hands in flowing water that past by, because the current speed. It's such a rapid stream, our corridor guard got blasted as the current go, and soon out of sight. Our corridor has 150 rooms in length, I'm near to the front door, I guess in few seconds, he may be at the side door already.
　　Looking at such a mess, I thought of the cities. I don't know what would new buildings look like, but I hope they have much better drainage than us, or, when I got out there, all I could see would be ruins. The current made lot noise, the water hits the bars, takes away some small particles and crush them on larger things. We can't hear anything else. If the wind's aim is to keep everyone indoor, the flood should be the massacre, but also, we believe, this is just a beginning.
　　Suddenly, the noise turn large, or even huge. I looked at the front door, feeling frightened. What could it be, such big noise, is it a wave? I couldn't guess, but the fact is, it is a wave, a very big one, and the huge noise is of course because of the wind brought by the wave. Rushing through the doorway, along the corridor, very soon, in front of me. There is no time for me to think of a way to dodge it. The only second, I got off the bed, dive in the water as fast as possible, the current is fast and strong, fast as I could, I grab the bars facing the corridor. The wave came. All I feel is a strong push from my head, a terribly strong one, I managed to hold myself, but my arms are like going to tear into pieces. Just at that time, the current slowed down again. The wave past.
　　Standing up with a wan smile, I think I won the first battle. My clothes are all wet, the sleeves are exactly off, the bed came off from the wall. My old pal is sitting on the floor, smiling at me, my other neighbors are messed on the floor, some got injured by hitting the bars or maybe the wall. Seconds passed, the world turned quiet.
