Memoir Fire all around me. Smoke is all i breathe. Heat is all I feel. I see an elderly woman at the corner of the room. I go to help her. Halfway their, half of the floor breaks down, and I fall on a heap of debris two floors down. I try to stand back up, but im pinned by cement. I know I'm about to die. I radio my brother, another firefighter, and tell him the news. He says to stay put, and he's coming for me. He is in the second tower, while I'm on the first. I hear people screaming on his frequency, see the plane closing on the tower. He tells me "Tell dad I lo--.... *static*"... the plane disappears on the floor my brother was on in a plume of smoke. I'm in shock, but then I hear a loud rumble stories on top of where I am. I know the floors are falling on top of each other, the building is going down, and I am still stuck. I patiently wait for the moment I can yet again be with my brother.... *static*
