Ghost Town
The next morning, Tielli gingerly poked her head out the window. In 24 hours, Sinto had been turned into a ghost town. The eerie silence screamed back at Tielli. The air was still and there was not a lick of wind. She remembered thinking how wet the air smelled, and recalled it was from all the flooding caused by the rain.
But what she remembered most was how quiet it was. She half-jokingly said for a second, she thought she died because of how silent the streets were. Did anyone else make it out alive? She stepped out on her porch and what she saw next made her jaw drop.
