Lj Idol - Week 21 Tiebreaker- Making Fire

[lyrical_liessss]

I was twelve when it happened. I was doing a simple errand for my teacher, and the books dropped from my hand as I looked through the library window and saw the smoke that filled the TV screen. I didn’t understand, until I got back to the classroom and saw the second plane go through the buildings. Why would someone do something so horrible?

Great idea for a piece. Your message is strong.

Thanks. I am very nervous to go against you both. You are both so talented.

Awesome piece!

You make me feel old though. You were only 12, I was a senior in high school. It all started in my AP Biology class. It seems so strange that it's been almost 10 years now since all that happened. It shocks me every time I watch a movie or tv show made before then. I never got to see the buildings first hand but I miss the classic NYC skyline that I was so used to seeing on tv.

Yeah, you do. I was just shy of turning 18.

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. It really brings these horrible events closer when someone you know is involved. I agree with your last statement, if only it were that easy!
