I guess even with lots of practice, it's mighty hard for an old wooden building to withstand an earthquake! Kudos for using the word of the week. I like your unique take on this week's photo.
It needs some practice to tell something so profound in so few words. Good work
It would need more than practice to be left standing after the earth shook .....
Practise makes a person Perfect .. :)

I like the tone of your story, and it seems a teaching tale, too; no matter how prepared we may be, we can still be overtaken by events.
Love your take on the picture prompt. :)
I agree with Lisa. There is a lesson to be learned here. Very nicely done!

This is a different and very engaging slant. You've told a lot in those few characters.
Nice to see you back.
Never mess with Mother Nature-she doesn't have much of a sense of humor I suppose...LOL, good one!
A unique and clever twist on the photo, so much story in so few words.
Love your take on this photo! Good way to use practice.
