Insane

I was walking leisurely.
Even before I could realize I was engulfed by a flash flood. Soon I was neck deep in swirling waters. Somehow I managed to get into a house. The house was frighteningly empty. 
I rushed to the second floor and uttered a sigh of relief.
But my relief was short lived. A wall crumbled. The house trembled. It began to float on unrestrained waters.
I looked down from the roof. House was moving towards an open ground. Many people were reclining there. They were about to be crushed.
“What is happening? It’s insane?” I said to myself and woke up.
I was soaked in fear.
