. . . the tremors are coming. i felt it coming when i woke up at dawn. today is the joint birthday of the two black dogs, the father Sumo and his pup Bogart. i woke up suddenly and i felt the tremors, undulating in my bed, like a dull rhythm in my head. i felt dizzy. i prayed and in the stillness, the tremors stopped. i listened around me and i was alarmed. not a single dog barked. it felt strange. i got up and inspected the place. the dogs were sleeping. soon, they would be up and demand their party. my dogs know when something exciting will happen. strangely, they were not aware of the earthquake. i looked up at the sky and felt the warning. i knew it will happen. since last year, i knew that the earthquakes will soon come, and they were coming at all intervals, in different places. but just like the whisper of the wind, i knew i should not be afraid. it will pass. but it must pass . . .
