Sept 11, 2001 - A day I shall never forget.

  1. #1
    it started just like any other day that started before that day.

    my parents just got themselves a brand new car and i was eager to take it around town and so i agreed to undertake the menial task of fetching my sister from school and drive her to her tuition classes.

    after dropping my sister off i had a few hours of nothing to do before her tuition class was up so i decided to just drive around the town and highways at high and dangerous speed. somehow somewhere i came across this girl waiting for the bus at the bustop all alone so i decided to be a good person and offered her a ride home. after some convincing and persuasion she finally agreed to give me a chance to be a good samaritan and climbed in.

    halfway thru she told me to stop and turn around because she 'forgot' her book at the school. i was reluctant to at first but then she started to raise her voices and act like a child and so i gave in because i didnt want to drive around with a child screaming and kicking in the back seat.

    i dropped her off at her school and she promised she'll be back after she retrieve her book or something i didnt really care but after 3 ciggarettes of waiting and she still havent come back i just gave up and drove off.

    theres not a single day that goes by that i did not stop and ponder what would have happened had she not asked me to turn around, or had i refused. and i wonder what set her off. instinct ? did she read my mind ? was it because she saw my raging bonner ? what would i have done ? would i have been a gentleman and drove her home like i said i would ? was i capable of being a monster ?

    no, unlikely.

    but i can never be sure.

    and for those of you who are wondering, no, i was 19 and she was presumably 10, so #notpedo according to the laws of california.

    I was at work, Compaq...we all gathered in the conference room to watch the events...as the 2nd plane hit I said "This is going to make a great movie"...the other folk got upset by my remarks and shouted things like "tell that to the families who have lost people today!!"

    ...still waiting for a decent movie about it...the ones I've seen so far have been crap.
