SOMA to Wyoming [Excerpt]
Recollection by Lisa Heller
Artwork by Jenifer Wofford
I had just arrived from the airport at the office and checked in with my colleagues. I asked my friend Lois if we could leave early because I was exhausted from my trip. As I walked back into my office the earth began to shake. I had never been in an earthquake before. And before the words “earthquake” could even come out of my mouth I was under my desk. The wall of windows surrounding my office had imploded.
After it was over I was running through the sewing shop telling everyone to get out of the brick building we were in. . . . Within a month of the earthquake, I quit my job and moved back to Wyoming. It is a day I will never forget and one of the reasons why I will never return to California to live.
