“From there on, the only thing I remember to date, was being awoken by a loud bang, screams and sounds of shattering glasses. I was lost in my sleep, so I didn’t know where I was or what exactly had happened. My spirit was far away from this world, because I found myself in some sort of desert, all alone,” added Omwoma according to her May 9 Fb post.
