It is September 9, 2001. Taylor, a young graduate student falls from the sky. Ten years of one's life is a small price to pay to thwart the most devastating terrorist attack in American history.
Cathartic, painful, and oddly funny in places, I ripped my heart out in front of my computer on the ten year anniversary of 9/11. New York deserves better than what happened that day. But it takes more than the unimaginable to stop NYC.

The Day of 9/11 ✔️
Okay so this started out as a class assignment in English 2. You can thank Mr. Lauber for giving me this assignment. The first chapter will be the one-shot that I wrote in class. After that, I will try to make an actual story line for 9/11. And I have now dedicated this story to @climbingjade51 . She has supported me throughout the story from the beginning, and I hope that she helps more people, maybe ones that I guide to her guidance. (I know that made no sense, but bear with me, I'm really sad right now). You are more of the reason why I have kept writing this, even writing through the pain. I only ask one thing from you: NEVER change. Cover by @climbingjade51. Go follow her as well. I keep writing because people like her support me and understand what I go through. Never change, climbingjade51 . Top #s #1 in twintowers #11 in 11 #307 in percabeth #21 in alexusapComplete
Are you ready? All right let's roll
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 2-6-24Complete

The Poisonous Melaina

"I gave you a chance to leave and never come back, why didn't you take it?" I looked into those deep grey eyes that I fell for. "Because I wouldn't have my wife sitting right next to me on that train ride." I answered truthfully. ☔︎☔︎☔︎ He has never met someone as mean as her. The glare on her face almost seemed permanent. The only words that fall out of her mouth are ones that will leave you tarnished and torn, making you second guess where you went wrong. Even worse, she never spoke, more like she grunted responses. When he first laid eyes on her, he fell in love with her tattoos, her attitude, her charm. He didn't understand why he kept coming back? He was intrigued with her. No matter what she said or did to him, he kept coming back. He was impatient but would wait for her. . . . She never understood how someone could keep a smile on their face everyday. The way he always kept a positive look on life. He never frowned. He was the flavour bubblegum that everyone wanted. The go-to ice cream flavour that you always get on a sunny day. That one summer vacation that you'll never forget. She hated his smile, his laugh, his eyes. She hated that she wanted to see that smile everyday. She hated that she couldn't stay away from him. She would happily set the world on fire but never let a flame touch him. ☔︎☔︎☔︎ All Rights Reserved 2022ⒸsyriacaxComplete
Love with strings detached
I put on a show only for him in front of hundreds of people. I bring one hand up to my hair flicking them to the other side, trailing that hand down to my sternum and then my boob as I keep swaying my hips from to side, bending my knees as I lower myself a bit to the ground before sharply standing up again and slowly spinning around, circling my hips. I run my hands through the back of my hair before nailing my gaze on his eyes, slowly walking up to him. I watch him as he wets his lips before biting his plumb bottom one, eyes trailing up my body. Once I reach him, I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair as I press my body up against his. His hands shoot out to grab me from my lower waist, pulling me even closer to him as he pushes a leg between mine, staring into my eyes. I turn my head to the side and brush my lips against his ear before licking and biting his earlobe the same way I did at the party before whispering a few words he was dying to hear. "Take me back to your place." ---------- Theo is a 20-year-old university student with a bad temper. Letting go of the past can be a difficult thing to do but a much-needed one to move on. Love is his greatest fear, something that's so beautiful yet can be so painful at times. Can you love someone even if you fear that feeling?
