Makes No Sense

The clock radio went off and the words made no sense. 

Someone must have turned on the tv in the living room as the same non-sense-making words were tumbling down the hallway. I was awake enough to recognize I was hearing "words", but not in this fashion: odd pairings of words, rapid-fire speech, so personal, so panicked. 

Roommates pulled me out of my warm bed, away from the clock radio, and sat me down in front of the living room tv. I heard those words again while watching the giants fall. Tears immediately spilled down my face and the lump in my throat rendered me speechless.

"we have been attacked"

retrospectively, i wish i had jamie by my side that day.
