Jack and Sarah are survivors. They've just clawed their way out of a death , escaping from a jammed elevator and a burning building. Two strangers thrown together in a fight for their lives, but they made it. Now they find themselves in a Starbucks, catching their breath and drinking coffee, trying to make sense of what just happened. But fate is not done with them yet. A massive earthquake rocks the city, shattering everything in its path. In the midst of the chaos, Jack and Sarah must rely on their survival instincts once again, as they fight to stay alive in a gone mad.


Jack: That was one crazy experience. I can't believe we managed to escape from that elevator and then a burning building.

Sarah: Yes, it was definitely a close call. I'm still in from everything that happened.

Jack: I'm an engineer, and I must admit, I wasn't sure how we were going to get out of there. But we managed to find a way.

Sarah: You really saved my life back there. I don't know what I would have done without you.

Jack: It was my pleasure. I'm just we both made it out alive.

Sarah: So, what kind of engineer are you?

Jack: I'm a mechanical engineer. I work for a company that designs and manufactures industrial machinery.

Sarah: That sounds interesting. I'm a teacher. I teach English to students from all over the world.

Jack: That's really cool. I wish I could speak multiple languages. I've always been fascinated by cultures.

Sarah: It's never too late to start learning. You could try taking a class or using a language learning app.

Jack: That's a good idea. I might give it a try. Speaking of trying new things, do you want to try something new and get a different type of coffee from what you usually get?

Sarah: Sure, why not? I'm up for trying something new.

(Suddenly, there's a rumbling noise, and the ground starts shaking.)

Jack: What the heck is going on? Is that an earthquake?

Sarah: Oh no, this can't be happening.

(After a few moments, the shaking stops, and they look out the to see the destruction caused by the earthquake.)

Jack: This is bad. We need to get out of here and find a safe place.

Sarah: But where do we go? Everything is so chaotic.

Jack: Let's try to find an open area from any buildings or structures. That's usually the safest place to be during an earthquake.

Sarah: Okay, let's go. I hope we make it out of this alive too.

Jack: We will. We've already survived two disasters, we can survive . Let's stick together and stay calm.
