An Earthquake Today

I was in my closet sorting clothes and talking to my girlfriend when everything started shaking like I was in a boat someone was rocking. I screamed, and tried to find something to hold onto. I was on the fourth floor of an apartment building. Things threatened to fall off the walls and shelves, then the quake stopped.

I had been in one quake before - in 1999 in Los Angeles, at the end of a midnight screening of Fight Club. The theater started rolling right as Ed Norton was blowing up the skyscrapers in Studio City. Strange synchronicity.
