Maybe it's a dream...

Sadly, her day with Caris was shortened as he decided they walk back to Pointe Place to see what was going on. As they walked, she saw damage everywhere. Lying in the streets were branches and telephone poles. Street signs were turned around giving misleading directions, and chaos was everywhere. Anna began to understand the serious nature of the predicament she and Caris found themselves in. They walked into the lobby of Pointe Place and Mr. George rushed towards them.

"Thank God you children are safe and unharmed." He said looking them over. "Now, run up to your apartments and lock yourselves in. The power is out, so the stairs are going to be your best bet." Anna and Caris turned to leave heading towards the stairs as Mr. George rushed at them. He reminded Anna of a rhino from Animal Planet on the Discovery channel. "Here are some candles, blankets, a radio and some extra batteries. Pointe Place procedure. Make sure your mothers get these ok?" He shooed them up the stairs. 

Anna and Caris silently walked up the stairs until they reached the seventh floor. The silence was strange for Anna, but she was too worried for her mother. Her head to full of worry, she didn't even say goodbye to Caris and locked herself into her apartment. She went to her room and laid down closing her eyes. Maybe if she woke up this would all be a dream.

It wasn't. From now on. She was on her own.

    Questions: I really wanna see what Anna does in Blog 5. She was mentioned in the prompt and I think it would be interesting to see her interactions with the other characters, since she is the only child who writes a blog in pointe place.
    What happened with parents?
    Suggested Clarifications: I wonder what Anna thinks of all of the people in pointe place. I think she has been very clear with all of the things she has observed, but I want to see her interact with others and form new opinions. The child’s perspective is always interesting and simplistic.
    Suggestions for future blogs: Adapting to life alone how does storm change family dynamic? Parents didn’t get storm supplies

It had only ever been Anna and her mother. When she was younger she used to ask about her father but her mother would attempt to distract he...
