Surviving Doomday- amended

The doomsday happened in 2012. There were many people packing their things and ready to escape. There was a news report about a disaster in Japan at three o’clock in the morning. There was a volcano exploding in Osaka, Japan. Many people died in the disaster. There was a prophecy that Japan would be destroyed by a volcano eruption.

Jacky was a prophet in Hong Kong, and he had read a piece of paper about the doomsday. The first place disappearing would be Japan. Japan had many volcanoes which made Japan disappear first. After forty-two countries disappeared, Hong Kong was the next place. Jacky took his family to the airport and went to Nepal. He knew there would be a typhoons and tsunamis in Hong Kong.

Jacky arrived at the airport. Suddenly, a typhoon attacked an airplane and the control tower of the airport. All lights of the airport were turned off. No airplanes could take off. Jacky could not think of any way to escape from Hong Kong. His wife had a good idea, “We can use a helicopter to escape from Hong Kong!” Jacky asked, “Where can we find one?” His wife answered, “My friend has one, but it was on the Hong Kong Island!” Jacky murmured, “Oh no!”

Jacky drove to the Hong Kong Inland. They only had thirty minutes. It was not enough and Jacky’s wife called her friend to drive his helicopter to the Kam Shan Country Park to save time. When they arrived at the Kam Shan Country Park, there was a bunker at the entrance so the car could not go inside. They needed to walk inside. There were many monkeys following them. They only had one minute left when they found the helicopter. They arrived at the top of the mountain and the doomsday of Hong Kong was coming. There were 24 typhoons that caused a big tsunami.

The big tsunami destroyed many airplanes and there were many airplane crashes. Jacky and his family got on the helicopter. They looked back at Hong Kong, and it disappeared. Many people died in this disaster. Only 328 people escaped to Szechwan. Only 243 countries survived.
