FAZER LOGINThe day a Category 5 hurricane struck, my younger brother, Ryan Bennett, suddenly disappeared. Without hesitation, my parents, Daniel and Emily Bennett, dragged me out into the hurricane to search for him. I barely survived the monstrous storm, but my parents never came back. When the rescue team finally found Ryan, they discovered that he had been playing video games the entire time in the glass room on the top floor. I furiously confronted him, but he couldn’t have cared less. “You’re the one who chose to go out and look for me! “Use your brain! Why would I ever go outside during a hurricane?” Enraged, I rushed at him and hit him, but he shoved me off the rooftop with his own hands. “Stop blaming me! If you’d stopped Mom and Dad from going out that day, they wouldn’t have died! “Since you’re so devoted to our parents, go atone for their deaths!” I fell from the rooftop, and everything went black. When I opened my eyes again, I was back two hours before the hurricane made landfall. Dad had already put on his raincoat and was preparing to go out. Mom was putting on her shoes by the door, desperately tugging at my arm as tears streamed down her face. “Hurry! The wind is getting stronger! We have to find Ryan!” The next second, I yanked my arm free. “I’m not going!” Since Ryan claimed he never asked us to look for him, I wouldn’t look for him this time. I’d like to see just how long he can last in that glass room with a Category 5 hurricane bearing down on him.

Three days after the hurricane passed, the city gradually returned to normal.I composed myself and returned to work on time.As a key technical member of the project team, I still had several important software development tasks to push forward.However, the moment I walked through the company’s doors, I noticed that the way my coworkers looked at me had completely changed.They pointed at me and whispered among themselves.“That’s her, right? She always seemed so quiet and well-mannered. I can’t believe she’s actually that heartless.“She could just stand by and watch her own brother die. What a monster.“I heard she deliberately delayed the rescue because she wanted to keep the family home for herself, and that’s why her brother ended up losing both legs.”I frowned and walked to my desk, turning on my computer.Before I could even sit down, my department manager approached me with a grim expression.“Claire Bennett, come to my office.”Once inside, my manager tossed a ta

How did you end up on the rooftop?!”Ryan’s heart-wrenching cries came through the phone, accompanied by the deafening crash of something heavy falling.“It hurts... my leg! Dad! I can’t feel my legs!”His voice was distorted by unbearable pain.“I can’t open the door... It’s locked from the outside! Help me... there’s so much blood! Find the key and save me!”Beep... beep... beep...The call suddenly disconnected.Dad snapped back to reality and frantically grabbed the community and property management worker
