Earthquakes

 The fault lies in our stars.

What is a fault line? A place where different slices of earth can collide, resulting in a shake-up. On the surface of the earth, that's an earthquake.

But what's the fault of the people who are subjected to one? Maybe they sinned in their previous birth. Or maybe not. They just chose the wrong place to settle in. 

One of the big ones I remember was around 1969. A big shake, and we clung- I was around 9 years old- to whoever was nearby. Luckily, we survived it. Or this blog wouldn't exist.

Not my fault, you see?
