The night began it The darkness ended it.

Midnight. I attempted to get back to bed and get some sleep. Well the night did not go well lots of pain in my eye lots of tossing and turning. I woke up at 415 with a terrible stomach ache and heart burn. It happens sometimes when I am really stressed. At any rate I tried to scourry about and do my normal morning routines. I got out the door by 5 and was on my way downtown. I got half way and called my partner and said I feel like shit fuck it im not coming in. He said no biggie take care of yourself dont get sick and he said get some rest and call him later. So I spun around and went home. I went to bed about 645 am and was awoken by my cell phone at 7:00. Get your ass back downtown. The superintendent said that I had to get some programing with the computer straight. Fine fine.. I got my shit together and left.. aaagain.. I get down there and get in the buiding and get my shit set up and my partner and I hear on the radio.. And an airliner has just crashed into the world trade center.. a complete silence has come over the floor. Steve and I just looked at eachother and grabbed our shit and quietly walked out. Just moments before getting off the stairs.. I had a terrible feeling in my chest right down in my heart. Something was really wrong. I dismissed it as heartburn. As we jumped down the stairs another radio on the bottom floor blaired out and a second plane we repeat a second plane has just crashed into tower two of the world trade center in new york city. As steve and I walked to the parking garage we stopped as he said you know.. whats the date? I said sept 11.. His face turned white. Steve served a term in viet nam. An old school military man who was drafted only to be blown up by friendly fire and live to tell the tale. He just said.. 9 1 1 and then I realised the significance of the date and he also said that the israilies and pakastan he belived a few years back on this date had signed a treaty at camp david.. We got our composure and got to the trucks and got the hell out of the city. As we were leaving he said.. this is it. THis is the begining. World war 3 the one to end all wars. You know it and I know it. SO get home and hug your family tight because today is the day the world changes. I dont think I have ever heard a truer word spoken.
