Fall

Response to a challenge. And he refused to let himself believe even for a moment that his government had done it.

Disclaimer: Not mine.

A/N: A prayer for those who lost their lives on 9/11 and their families. And a prayer for all Americans to unite, not only in times of trouble, but always.

It had been a beautiful fall day when the biggest buildings in the city fell. When so many men and women fell. When so many police officers, firefighters, paramedics had fallen.

And he refused to let himself believe even for a moment that his government had done it.

Because he could believe the government would kill one man. He could believe they would send thousands, millions of young boys off to war. But he couldn't let himself believe that they would kill, purposely kill, hundreds of the city's finest.

He couldn't let himself fall to that.
