911DA Story: Story
It was like any ordinary day. I was in school at the time and then the power turned off. It was off for a long time. Then a security guard came in saying that one of the Twin Towers was hit with a plane. When the power came back on the teachers had their televisions on the news and I saw one of the towers in flames.
I couldn't believe that this is happening. Apparantly it was happening but I was still stunned by it. My father picked me up from school and took me to his job. I watched the television and I thought about how tragic this was. When the second plane hit and it was stated that is was a terrorist attack I lit up in a burning rage.
I went home thinking how badly I wanted to put the criminals who did this in prison. Then I saw that people chose to drop onto the street instead of burning alive I burnt up even more. I though I was about to start and inferno and burn my house down. I didn't get any sleep that day either. I don't think any body did.
