It is a good thing this challenge is 2/3 done, my brain reads these prompts and my mind goes blank. I don't know if it is the stress of the shelter in place existence or I'm just tired or I have lived such a boring life, I am out of stories. Maybe I'm not easily surprised. Here goes: September 11, 2001 watching a plane fly into the World Trade Center on TV. I was in the bathroom blow drying my hair, getting ready to go to work and a friend burst through my door calling my name and saying turn on the TV. He had been driving to a job site on my road when he heard a news flash on his truck radio. Mine was the closest house and he stopped to see the news. He didn't even knock, just called out my name and went straight to my TV and turned it on. I joined him as he said a plane had crashed into a building in New York. Then we watched together as a second plane flew into a tower. We knew instantly the first crash had not been an accident and our country was under attack. I had no words, just total shock. eighteen years old TV image repeats in my mind still ~~jvg |
