It was a moment of utter shock as the news spread through the small town of West Egg that a powerful earthquake had struck. The town was built on a fault line and as the ground shook, everyone in the small community was thrown into confusion. The quake was so strong that it even caused some buildings to collapse, and many people were injured. The town’s mayor, Mrs. Kipper, quickly organized a search for any survivors and soon enough, she had gathered a group of volunteers to help her. The search continued for hours after the quake had struck, but there were no signs of anyone alive or dead. Mrs. Kipper decided to call off the search after she realized that there was no way that anyone could have survived such an intense earthquake.
