In the moment of the silence, all reality breaks away.
Struck with terror are the people, never forgetting the day.
Catastrophe struck their minds, all they knew had gone amiss,
with the terrible events that showed proof of evil's kiss.


No mouth dared to open, to speak a single word,
the news was so devastating, the worst one ever heard.
They knew no one was safe, all views of life had changed.
With such treacherous happenings, reality was rearranged.

Thank you! :) I actually don't really like this one... Idk why. I need to edit it, I used the word 'stuck'  twice in a row.

You captured the mood perfectly, and the word choice is superb. For example, "all they knew had gone amiss, with the terrible events that showed proof of evil's kiss." Wow.
