"The Disaster Days" by Rebecca Behrens

You're alone after an earthquake now, trying to survive

Also you're like thirteen

And you live on an island in the middle of nowhere in Washington State

And you have two other kids to babysit
 
So you're not at home

And you are completely and wildly unprepared for all of this 

And you don't actually know how to deal with someone getting a giant gash in their arm

And you have to leave the house because gas leak

And you also don't actually know how to deal with someone breaking their leg

And you don't ever get contacted by any other survivors until the very end even though there have to be other people alive on your island
 
And you don't actually know how to deal with someone's giant arm gash getting infected

And your house sank

And you'd get rated E10+ for scenes of peril if you were a videogame

And you've been given 4 stars by me
 
(Also you have an endnote: What if I wrote this entire post in single sentences and left out all the end marks)
