911DA Story: Story
I was in History, kind of a coincidense I guess. Only nobody really uynderstood that history was happening even as we spoke. The news was announed from a few people who had come in late and knew what was going on, but the reality didn't hit until we turned oh the
TV. The largest terrorist attack in the history of the United States. This kind of thing didn't happen to us. We are respected, we are a country of love, order, comfort, and security. Anyway, our principle was being a naive jackass so we couldnt talk or watch the TV. Of course, my hiswtory teacher didnt take any of that. We closed the blinds and turned the volume down. Just seconds after we had settled, swecond plane struck. Fear. Confusion. Surprise. Anger. A second act. Did this mean there would be a third? Or a fourth? Where else would they go? Why us?
