Seventh Day

The prompt for today's story reads:

You are shopping in Safeway and then all of a sudden the ground starts shaking. People are screaming and the ceiling cracks. Safeway is not so safe anymore.

Earthquake story I thought. But how can I make it more interesting. I experienced the shaking and destruction with another person. Then I had us trapped in the wreckage. So interesting, sort of. But I wanted it to be different so that's why I made the lowly shopping cart the hero. It saved us from being crushed by the beam. After I wrote that part I did go back and change the first part to show the many uses for the cart and tie it together. It maybe added a little irony to a story that could have become very predictable. Let me know what you think.

Here is a link to the story
