Short Story About 9/11

“Oh that old thing, I thought I got rid of that years ago. That my dear is a spaceship me and one of my buddies made back in the 80’s. It never really

It was dark as night outside yet still early, and the heavy winds were causing the rain to smack in to the house. Dime stood peeping out of the window as she hid her naked body behind the curtains, staring at the trees dancing in the storm.

Alma woke up that morning to the sight of gently falling snow outside her bedroom window. Delighted, she saw a blanket of white draped over the neighborhood below, creating a charming winter wonderland scene.

Its was June of 2008, and the rain was coming down harder than ever. We were at a wedding reception in Des Moines, Iowa. Why were we even here when there are annoying beeping sounds all over, from the phones. We all started dancing and having fun until… my dad, Michael received a call from a friend. Wide eye stare as he frantically looks around the room. Then he whispers something into my mom, Hillary’s ear and she panicked. My sister, Lauren and I were having the best time dancing and playing around the room when my mom grabs my hand and says…

I’m going back to school the next day and I’m nervous that I’ve been gone for 3 days but like usual I lied to get myself out of trouble,

Finally, at last getting their deepest wish granted, having a daughter was a wonderful dream come true for Luke and Jocelyn. They had long and wished for a child for many, many years, and finally at last Clary had arrived. Life in and around the Garrroway household was brighter and happier than ever. Luke couldn't help but notice a change in Jocelyn's behavior. She smiled more and seemed more at ease, like she was walking on eggshells. Days and night passed, as the days turned into weeks, as the sun rose and set each morning while the moon shined brightly in the night sky replacing the bright daylight.

I was sitting in my office one day looking around. Something was not right, I didn’t feel safe. I could tell something was going to happen, but I didn’t know what. As I sat there wondering, and watching the pigeons flying around outside I got hungry so I ate a Snickers bar. For some reason it tasted better that day than it ever had before, and then there they were, the planes! My coworkers and I watched as they circled the towers, getting lower and lower. By that time everyone was at the windows all watching, all wondering.

The clarity of the reverberation of metal scraping the cobblestones sent shivers up my spine. As the sounds of a chase shattered the silence of the frigid London night, I thought back to every mistake and immoral decision I’d made in my life that led me to that moment. The list was longer than chances I had of living.

Sarah walked over to the window anixously waiting for her best friend to come over so they can hang out at their secret spot. Sarah decided while she waits for her best friend Grey, she would eat some cookies with milk. She walked over to the kitchen and poured a glass of milk and grabed 3 cookies. "Umm... So tasty!" she says, as she took a bite from the sweet melting chocolate cookie. Ad time pasted Sarah became worried as she wondered if Grey was comein. All of a sudden the door bell rang and she jumped off her chair and ran to open the door and Grey was standing. " What took you so long, I was worried you wouldn't come today." "Sorry I was late, I had to stop at the store for my mom, and speaking od the store I bought some things to take

Rain fell from the cloudy night sky and pounded against the ground, and standing off from a two-story house was a man dressed in a traditional men’s kimono. He watched as the parents of Sarah and Samantha, Dennis and Caroline climbed into their Maroon Honda Pilot as they did every Friday night at 8pm until midnight, leaving their two 16 year old daughters all alone. His eyes followed the car intently as it drove down the road with several different colored leaves blended together on the road and the two back tires of the car. Once it turned the corner, out of sight, he turned back to the house. As he watched them through the bay window leading to the living room he went through the facts of his victims over in his mind. While they were twins, they were very different. Sarah, the older twin was very adventurous while Samantha kept more to herself. Along with the facts of the girls going through his mind he was wondering if he was going to kill them right away or if he was going to take them to a house that he had set up for his victims in one of the abandoned houses in the woods. The man was brought out of his thoughts as another car pulled into the driveway. He relaxed once he saw that it was just the delivery guy from the local pizza place, right on schedule.

IT WAS ABOUT ELEVEN O’CLOCK in the morning, mid October, with the sun not shining and a look of hard wet rain in the clearness of the foothills. I was wearing my powder-blue suit, with dark blue shirt, tie and display handkerchief, black brogues, black wool socks with dark blue clocks on them. I was neat, clean, shaved and sober, and I didn’t care who knew it. I was everything the well-dressed private detective ought to be. I was calling on four million dollars.

I will always remember that moment. I was resting in a chair in the dining room at 8:40am of September 11, 2001. My family were gathered in the dining room for an early breakfast. My brother, Alex, was relaxing in the chair beside me. Also, my father, Chuck, was at the head of the table drinking his coffee with a touch of hazelnut and my mother, Judy, was seated next to him. In the room to the side of the dining room, the TV was powered on. Finally, at 8:45 a voice rang throughout the house.

On, the morning of september 11, something terrible happened. People went to work in New York as they usually did. My job was in the world trade center. I arrived a little late to a meeting, and i thought it would be my biggest problem. Boy, was i wrong.

“You want to fight against me,” Apache said with a corrupt laugh, “Didn’t you already figure out before that you are just a complete dead-beat compared to me.”

“What I wasn't even prepared?!” filled my mind as I watched everyone dash before me, leading the race as I began to realize the race has begun.
