100 Words Project 16: That One Mistake




That One Mistake


You can still feel the effect of cataclysmic event that happened last year amongst the islanders.
No one would ever think someone could wish this little paradise on earth and its friendly loving inhabitants any harm.
After all the religious ceremony performed, all the ritual prayers prayed,  why them?
They need the tourists to come back, their foreign money to survive. Their long-distance prayers, while appreciated, has proven inadequate.
Why abandon the island for a fault that is not their own?
Haven’t they serve them soulfully all along?
Paradise Island stared to the world in shock, the silence is deafening.

Word: Cataclysmic
