This is not a 9-11 story...
By Red Turtle
Rated: PG 13 for very serious situation, but there is no sex and little if any bad words
I noticed people often put poems before their stories to set the mood. My story begins with a poem I found on the internet that to me really captured the sadness and shock from 9-11 but by connecting us to the world, and it was part of what inspired me to write this story, knowing that someone else out there was sick of 9-11 being reduced to such a bland description of good vs. evil. The other part was knowing at least one family being torn apart by the search for terrorists, and feeling that, if the turtles were real, after sharing the horror everyone felt on 9-11, they would do what's right, not what's American. The main character of this story is based off a child I know personally, and a persona of all children, including myself, who have ever dared to struggle against all the convential norms to do what they see as right, because children don't always obey the rules. Don't forget the turtles were only thirteen when they murdered Oroku Saki, so I don't think this is to far for an imagination. The child this is based off of did not, to my knowledge, ever attempt a serious rescue effort, but his passion is captured here (I changed the names and combined circumstances of all involved to avoid any legal problems, this is purely fictional). This story does have the ninja turtles in it, but it principally is the story of this boy.
By the way, I divided the story into three parts, this introduction, the poem and then the actual story. I did them all at once, so they are all accessable now because I don't believe in doing parts at different times. I am new to that technique but it seems to have worked okay. Also, the particular computer I am using right now has problems with word 97, so some things might be a bit jumbled but hopefully its readable.
