911DA Story: Story

That morning I had awaken extremly early for no apparent reason, for me I was a ninth grader in high school and I wouldn't have gotten up if my mom was throwing things at me. But this morning was different, I first got up at about 2 o'clock, went back sleep, got up at about 3, then I stayed in bed till about 3:30 when I turned on the television. At first I thought it was just really early news, but when I turned the station it was on every single station. I just thought my battery in my remote was dead. But when I stoped it on MTV I thought I was going to be listening to some music, but the T.V. was talking about WTC.
I had no idea what WTC was I thought I was watching a movie. I ran to my moms room and she was already outside watching, I sat down on the couch and asked her what she was watching and she explained to me what had happened. I was so stunned Ididn't know what to think or say, I was basiclly mind dead that whole day.
