tornado

Prologue

Sometimes life can be like a tornado; spinning out of control and impossible to stop the damage. Everything is coming in from every direction and gets sucked up into a large mass that destroys your life as a whole. In the end it just dissipates and everything goes back to normal as if nothing ever happened. From an outside look you can't really tell how bad the destruction is, but an inside look lets you see everything. My name is Alyssa, and you could most definitely say my life is a tornado. Just think about life and how it can get twisted and turned upside down in a matter of seconds. For as long as I can remember I could always relate to this. As soon as something good happened in my life, something horrible would always come right after. The little things made me happy and were considered, "something good." But the bad things were always colossal and I could never get over them. The bad things just continued to build up in my life and it seemed like it was always going to be like this, like my life was just meant to be bad. It was my destiny to suffer. So the little things were what kept me alive and going. As long as a tornado doesn't take me away, I'll continue to appreciate the little things.
