advise you stay at home and hope for the best. Thank you all for your patience,” I sat on a chair
thinking about the chaos that is about to happen. Hopefully the schools will still be up and
running by Monday. “Hye! Please come here fast!” Yeong yelled from my mom’s room. I
quickly made my way around our small house. Finally I reached by my mom’s side scared. She
looked extremely still and really pale. I looked for her pulse when I couldn’t find it. I started to

“Hye, can you help me?” Yeong asked from the backdoor. I don’t want to bury my mom, but I
know I can’t leave her here in her room. I made my way to my mom’s room and with the help of
Yeong we carried her to the backyard. Yeong already buried a hole big enough for a 49 year old
women. We gently placed my mom down and started to cover the hole back. When we finished
