The scariest night

Around 3AM, my phone rang, it's a call of my dad from Pursat asking "where are you now?" I briefly thought he's now in Phnom Penh and he might need me to drive him somewhere as habit. But why he came and gave me such a call at a very late night?? He later said "there is a disaster at Koh Pich, and many people died and wounded".

Well, firstly I didn't believe him. I wanted to back to sleep. But something reminded me to make it sure. I checked my phone, and something unbelievable happened as he said. From the latest report, 375 people died and 755 injured. My countrymen, may your souls rest in peace!

I might have been at Koh Pich too, if today is not my working day :(
