In the end, the television screen must have gone blank, leaving her alone with the reflection of herself. And as she saw her face reflected in shades of gray, she must have been afraid. In those last seconds, with the bombs frozen in air, she herself in the TV, not those people she called her family. Only her, alone with herself. Time had changed without her knowing. It caught up with her too fast. As the bombs fell on top of the building, pancaking the floors down on her, then exploding and destroying the motel, she must have been screaming at the face she saw. She was truly alone those last seconds of her life, and she knew it.1
Author notes
I got the idea for this small story from Farenheit 451. It's a part near the end, you'll recognize the idea if you've read the book. It might not make sense if you haven't.

One feels the last lonely moment of the entrapped and hapless girl as she desperately views the world around her for the last time.Though short this is descriptive enough for anyone to have a true picture of the traumatic moment.Great job.
