He was in Hell, and It froze over.

Lute’s eyes widened in surprise when everything fell to a halt and then completely stopped; even a simple leaf which wafted in from the open window was suspended mid-air, and his mother and father remained unmoving like stiff wax statues. He pushed himself off the counter and rubbed his eyes, feeling more than a healthy amount of confusion and dread as he reached out and touched the floating leaf. 
"Ma?" The boy called out, uncertainty ringing in his tone. "Old man-" He didn't want to call the man 'Father' and he felt something vague stir within him; anger at himself for having to talk with this person, "Did you do this? [i]If it isn't enough that you're useless, you even-[/i]"

The world suddenly flipped.

“Graaaaaagh!?” Lute shouted as the house rapidly tilted 90 degrees. The door creaked, tore out of the hinges and his father fell through the gap, still frozen with the bottle angling towards his lips. His mother, on the other hand, was pulled downwards along with all the other household objects. She was pinned against the stone wall by the dining table, a blank expression on her face despite the fact that everything was going to hell. Lute hung on to the counter and braced, but his hands kept slipping. “Wait, Ma! J-just hang on, [i]I’m going to get you[/i]!” He yelled and inched towards the wall. The boy was almost digging his heels into the earthen floor just to make sure he was stable, but his palms were clammy with sweat. “[b]What do I do, what do I do?[/b]” He mumbled to himself and flinched when a pan flew off its hooks and grazed his face. The nearest handhold was an inch out of reach and Lute strained forward, his fingertips brushing on the stone but never really securing a grip. 

"Brooother? What's happening?" Ruana's voice wafted in from the bedroom. Was she flung against the wall by the sudden insanity that was happening right now? [i]Shit, maybe she was injured!?[/i] Lute shook his head. He had to remain focused. Mom first and then they can save his sister together. Ruana's question rang oddly clear despite the cacophony from furniture being torn apart, and Lute immediately shrieked back at her to stay inside.

As he reared back one more time to try again the house shook and Lute fell, through the very same gap in the very same way his father did.
