I heard this story on a books-on-CD compilation. More that 8 years after 9/11, I was surpised to find myself crying as I listened. How the real nightmare of this world dig themselves into our souls.

My lack of imagination has always insulated me from the senseless horrors suffered by others. Thanks for stripping that away... Sarcasm aside, the story was both moving and enlightening. Thanks for the great work.

This is one of the most meaningful pieces I have ever read...not just from this author, but from ANYONE. I will not give anything away, but anyone who was alive that day should read this. I cried at points, which is not a normal thing for me.

This story is tragic, dark, horrifying, and altogether wonderful. This is the most meaningful and deep short story I have ever read. Without giving anything away, I will just say I very highly recommend it, although some parts may not be for the faint of heart.
