911DA Story: Story

I work third shift, and had fallen asleep with the TV on. When I awoke, the first thing I saw was Attack on America across the television screen. It was frightening listening to the newspeople tell the events that were going on. My first thoughts were of my family, and trying to place where they all were, and how I could get us all together if need be. I wasnt really sure yet what all had transpired, as the news stations were relaying different reports. I stayed near the television watching in horror for the most part of the day. And praying to God for all of Americas safety.
And thanking God that my family was safe nearby.
