TW for 9/11!

Im so sorry for being gone for so long, please take this as a apology!

I tried to stay as true to the events on 9/11 as I could. But some parts may be wrong or exaggerated. Please remember this is also a bit of fiction, so parts will be made up.

You guys have no idea how much I've rewritten this.

There's probably a lot of mistakes but im so tired of this story, if you notice any please tell me.

No au set

There's screaming. All around me. All I can smell is smoke. All I can feel is heat surrounding me. I try to move only for something to grab my leg. Confused I look down and to my terror. I see people. Their skin slowly melting off their body in a gruesome image. Skin and muscle slowly dripping down their bodies like a melting candle, revealing white bones slowly turning gray from the smoke and flames surrounding them. Their screaming, desperately clawing at my legs, yelling at me.

"H-HELP US-S!"

"IT HURTS SO MUCH!"

"SAVE ME!"

I state helplessly at them. Feeling tears picking the edges of my vision. Soon enough, they seem to realise I'm not helping them nor am I making any move too. And so slowly their cries full of sorrow and pain turn into something else. Screams of anger, betrayal, and hurt.

"WHY AREN'T YOU SAVING US!?"

"YOUR OUR LEADER! OUR PROTECTOR! HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN!?"

"YOUR A FAILURE! A DISGRACE! A COWARD!"

"BETRAYER!"

They continue to yell at me. At some point I decide I can't take it any more and try to run away. Only to fall on the floor when they pull my leg back. I look back to see a smile on their faces as they begin to drag me back to them. I'm yelling, trying to grab anything I can reach to hold myself onto. I grab into a piece of metal. Hanging on for dear life.

But as they pull on my leg more, my hand slips. They start to pull me back faster, and harder. I look back just to see their wicked smile as they pull me over the edge and I fall. Fall towards the pavement under me. Just when im about to hit the pavement I hear one last thing from them.

"WTC falls, actions have consequences. I wonder what yours will be?"

Im left in confusion for a few seconds before my back hits the pavement. Pain shooting up my whole body.

Suddenly I gasp awake and sit up, gasping for breath and gripping my pajamas where my heart is. I hastily look around my room, seeing nothing out of place. I gulp back and sigh, willing myself to calm down.

I look over to my clock on my bedstand, and through blurry eyes I see the clock saying 6:03 in bright red lights. Suddenly the 6:03 It takes me another second to understand that it's blinking, saying a alarm went off.

I squint my eyes in confusion and search through my mind. Trying to figure out what alarm I would've set and why. Eventually I sigh and give up. Laying back down.

Im about to fall asleep again when my phone beeps, telling me someone messaged me. I groan and hide my head under my covers. But my phone just keeps beeping. I groan and take the covers off my head, sitting up. I reach over to my phone and unplug it, turning it on to see the time staring at me, 6:05, it's bright white color hurting my eyes. I scowl and look towards where it says my location and smile when I see my location.
