Wow. That was absolutly incredible. It had some holes like who made the bombs and stuff, but since it was in the worlds of a person it doesn't matter. I couldn't write a story like this.

Hi there :) Taya here. Took me a while but I found ya. You already know what I think of this piece. It is really well written and full of drama. It also inspires me to get around to writing my one too.

Your title is probably one of the most brilliant points about the story ~ it draws you in directly, urging you to read on. I already told you how I loved the scene with Thomas walking out, it simply broke my heart... it was SO sad.
I also loved how are stories about Sept 11 are tied together like this, told in a similar direct fashion, first person POV. I love the parallels and the feelings you describe; it might have been that way in an alternate reality. And that feeling chills me to the bone.
Good job on this one!
