911 ambivalence christianity evil islam jihad love newadult romance suicide tragedy wattys2015 wtc

September 11th a high jacker doubts his mission. A fireman struggles to save his fiancé. A teenage boy loses him mind to radical Christianity. And a Lit professor prepares to start a college shooting. 

The only way to describe September 11th is through the long and arduous threads of life. Lives of others. Many. Changing. Folding together. Making. Interconnecting. Transposing our demise to our requiem. Forming on song, one tragedy, one day for our befallen. United, burnt, and broken. The smoke of our breaking made a momentous struggle a timeless sacrifice.

Triumph {The Manhattan Trilogy #3} by itmegritty1

North Tower. It is shocking to her that it's the year 2011. It's already been ten years since her death! Yes, sometimes she has nightmares about it. She's mostly moved on, though. She has a wonderful boyfriend that she is sure she wants to marry someday. She and her sister have landed jobs at the brand-new National September 11 Memorial. However, she is still being asked to play hockey by several professional teams. Will she give in and come out of her retirement from the sport? South Tower. She's twenty-one years old now. She is dating the human soul of United Airlines Flight 175, a young man who is a very good...PILOT?! He loves her as much as she loves him, which is a lot. She loves waking up every morning in the apartment that she and her twin share and seeing the new World Trade Center complex being built, rising up against the New York City skyline. Nothing can go wrong for her, especially when she signs with a hockey team ten years after she played her last professional game. Mohammed. He is an ice hockey player who has moved from Saudi Arabia to the United Arab Emirates to Omaha, Nebraska, and finally to New York City. As he tries to adjust to life in his fourth home, he worries that he won't be allowed to play his sport in Manhattan. He knows he has a talent for it, unlike many Middle Easterners, but he believes that no league in Manhattan will select him just because they stereotype most Muslims as terrorists. However, when Mohammed crosses paths with none other than the Twin Towers themselves, this worry goes away. But what happens when he meets Ryan? Julia. She is a thirty-one-year-old spirit. She earned her old job back in 2003. Working at the Pentagon is still her passion. She works with her sister, and her twin brother works in the new 7 WTC in New York. Her afterlife is pretty normal until her friend from an anti-Islam family starts dating a Muslim. What will she do? ~COMPLETED!~ Word count: about 24k

I'll always remember us | ✔️ by author_jxsmine

growing up and growing apart sometimes people who really love you have to leave you for your own good and it's okay to grow apart holding on to things that hurt isn't a wise choice They broke up in college but now are forced into an arranged marriage Will the sparks fly again or........ ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Wrong place, wrong time, wrong people, right man Surrounded with unfortunate events, unfortunate people Those slim waists, slim faces, long hair and long nails Those long legs, large hands, fluffy hair and beaded bracelets They don't belong together last days, best times, red hands and playing fights Social priorities, diwali parties, arm wrestling and life stories That's the closure I needed Searching the crows, you stand tall, stand out Walking out of that building with hurt hands and burnt minds scholar badge, scholar board, Council badges and red coats brown pants,white shirts, black shoes and red ties Sprawling crowds, yellow buses, red rickshaws and black cycles ice cream man, Mother Dairy, white vans and red lights Saw you walking on the footpath with rolled up sleeves with few friends I wouldn't wish I would be there I couldn't wish I could be there Could you be specific who do you like? Blinding lights, goodbyes, Friday promises and exam time White walls, black boards, blue desks and A/C nobs Sweet memories scattered in my head Teardrops all over my bed These are the things I'll never forget And that's the price I paid cover credit: pinterest

They Took My Wings by Remi_Scribbles

Demon Princess Erish loves to spread chaos, but the war isn't entirely her fault. Disrupting the natural order to save her dying fiancé? Yeah, that's probably her fault. But disrupting the natural order has consequences, and now no one is safe. To restore balance, Erish is exiled and brainwashed, both her freedom and sanity sacrificed to keep the worlds safe. From her. But chaos can't be caged for long, and Erish has already broken the worlds once, she's willing to break them again to get back what was stolen from her. But is the fiancé she sacrificed everything for... fighting for the other side?

A story of a Thousand Falling Stars by robnik0608

Do you call yourself a good person? Have you ever sacrificed for something other than yourself? When have you proven different than those that surround you? Who do you want to be? So many questions... so little answers. In a land where darkness has nearly overtaken the light, these questions are not looked upon. Never considered. No one would ever care to listen to such things. But underneath the layers of betrayal, sorrow and darkness... there is one dying light; one hope. Like a final flame in the darkness, flickering and reaching its end; its name... is Akemi.

Are you ready? All right let's roll by TawdryChart8275

September 11, 2001 began as an ordinary, late-summer day. As the sun rose, fair weather and blue skies prevailed over much of the country and thousands of commercial airliners prepared for flight. But, in less than two hours' time, this seemingly routine day was transformed when 19 terrorists boarded and hijacked four commercial airplanes to attack America. Nearly 3,000 people were killed when the hijacked planes were flown into the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon near Washington, DC, and when United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside outside of Shanksville, PA. Flight 93 did not arrive at the hijackers' intended target - the Nation's Capital - because of the selfless and courageous actions of the 40 passenger and crew members on board. "We're going to do something," passenger Tom Burnett told his wife that morning, the last words she ever heard him speak. They did. This is their story. This story is dedicated to the family and friends on Flight 93, I am sorry for your loss and may we never forget. ❤️ Number 8 on 10-31-23 Number 9 on September 11, 11-18-23 Number 5 on September 11, 1-2-24 Number 6 on Terrorist 2-1-24 Number 10 on nineeleven on 2-6-24

Lonely lovers (Antisepticeye x Reader) by Sean_Graham

She was always alone.... she never had friends she barely knew what it was like to love someone.... she was perfect.... but so broken.... lost.... À̴̱͝L̜̳ͮ̉O̴̰̝̞̽̄͊͟ͅÑ͖̖̲̐̒͗E̷͔̎͠͠͝ͅ she never deserved to be neglected, and yet she was. Before her all i wanted was the control over what was rightfully mine... now its more complicated, i want my own... my own body so i can forever hold her... and cherish her.... but our kinds aren't meant to be... we could be killed if anyone found out. The risks could be taken if the love is worth waitin. She is perfect... and i want her all to myself.... and it angers me every time i see them with her, they dont belong with her, i do.... and i will prove that too her.... or I'll just force her to see my way... (This is an Anti x Reader, yes this is why i gave up on my other one... but don't expect me not to give up on this one lol anyways enjoy! Warning there is explicit content in this, sexual content, murder, suicide, cursing, racism, and other triggering topics will be mentioned in this story so please read on your own terms <3 love y'all)

Shades of Cerulean by meri_alfazon

"You are her, aren't you? The cerulean eyes under your brown orbs, I have finally found your secret. How unfortunate is that, habibti?" He spoke to her unconscious body, before walking off. Crimson red blood clinged onto his black shirt as he wiped the knife clean. A smirk formed on his lips, on the mere thought that he has become both her doom and blessing. He was on the verge of atheism while she was truly religious. He lived by the sour memories of his late wife while she searched for true love, a love unlike the one that destroyed her parents life. He when counting the beeds on abacus, his eyes drifted to the frame on the wall, the frame of him and her. All the while, she lived her life with her past a blank page and her present a gift, not knowing she forgot important memories of her existence. Love is complex, the love shared between the parents and their offsprings, the love between the siblings, between the lovers and between the besties. Without love, life is colourless. Be it about a happy family, a close friendship or a joyous bond of siblings. Note: It's an Islamic love-story, definitely a halal one. Updation:- Every weekend

The Black Stars of Melanin by TheBlackStarWriter

These chains... they bind me. Her face... it reminds me. My love was turned to hate, my freedom revoked by those who subjugate. That nightmare became a reality. That fateful day when the blood-red sky wept. And the rest of the world slept. When we became your slaves. All that is left, is survival!

Survivor's Guilt by witchoria

2011: It's been ten years since the sky literally came crashing down around Yael Malkah and upended her world. Now she's returned to New York to visit her ailing grandmother. With no other family, it's up to her to take care of the family business, even at the risk of her sobriety. Haustin Macauley is a firefighter struggling to come to terms with his survivor's guilt, and does whatever he can to drown out the event that still keeps him up at night, even taking reckless risks. The only thing that keeps him going is the people he saved when hell came crashing around him, the only proof he has that he isn't a complete failure. When Yael meets the man who saved her life that fateful day, she can't help but feel a connection in her grief. As Haustin and Yael grow closer, the two must find their way through the minefield of family problems and post-traumatic stress to the possibility of a life that might resemble normal again. Weekly Friday updates. Occasional Tuesday updates.
