911DA Story: Story

The morning of 9/11, I was training for the second day of my new job. A co-worker came in and turned the television on and said that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. Soon there were several people crowded around the tv. Many wrote it off as being a pilot error, an accident. While we were all discussing it, the other plane flew into the other tower. Some of us sat in stunned silence, others kept asking, "What just happened?" over and over. I spent the next few days in a fog. I couldn't stop crying.
Now, five years later, it still makes me cry, and I am fearful about what might happen next. I just get the feeling that the terrorism on our country isn't over; they are not yet satisfied. Now, five years later, I have a baby boy that gives me hope for the world, but the feeling of dread won't go away.
