A few hours before the tsunami hit the coastal area of City C, Elena and Ethan were driving nonstop. As they approached the city, they stumbled upon a group of people struggling to lift a huge rock that blocked the road.
Seeing that they needed help, Ethan stopped for a moment and instructed Elena to wait for him.
"Wife, try to contact the team for their updates."
"Okay, go ahead so we can proceed out of here," she replied, calling the team while watching him join the others.
The group worked together to clear the road, and soon Ethan and Elena hopped back on the motorcycle. But just a few meters after they left, the mountain above collapsed, leaving no road to enter or exit.
They were taken aback by the sudden turn of events. Elena felt a wave of unease wash over her.
'Are they being jinxed? Why does it feel like the heavens want to kill them?'
