"On that terrible day, a nation became a neighborhood, and all Americans became New Yorkers."
- Governor George Pataki
We all remember 9/11, don't we? If we weren't alive when it happened, we certainly heard about it, right? I was born a year after it happened. I don't remember it. I remember hearing about it though.
Let's face it. No one saw it coming. No one. America was not expecting to lose 2,000+ lives. America was not expecting her world trade center to crumble that day.
We had international support. 9/13/01 Queen Elizabeth the 2nd broke protocol and allowed America's national anthem to be played. In Finland every mode of transportation stopped to declare a moment of mourning for America. "Nous sommes tous Américains," is a phrase that the French chanted in protest to terrorism for America's sake. It means "we are all Americans." Germany displayed the American flag and a banner that read "we stand by you."
The ground shook in America, and knocked us off our feet. The whole world experienced it with us.
We, as Americans, have a responsibility to honor our dead and a duty to make sure it never happens again.

Most of the earth is in ruin which made all the leaders from all the nations meet together on a secret island for two weeks to come up and form a plan for man kind's survival, and so the United Space Administration or USA for short was form. For years the federal governments from all the nations on earth has been secretly investing and contributing with each other on space and military developments without the population of their countrymen knowing about what they ( the government ) was doing, and now the secrets might pay off now that every country on earth has no choice but to come together as one people. The USA ( not the United States ) has built four star ships in the past ten years at Space Station United in space a few hundred miles behind Space Station Freedom . Through the years moon bases have also been built on the moon, and now paper and coin currencies are completely gone. Everyone on Earth has one card with a chip in it that has everything about you on it and the new currency for everyone is credit and bits.Abgeschlossene Geschichte

Ended
I am dying. I know this because i can feel all my senses leaving me. I can see flashes, recollections, of my past. They preen at me through my lashes. But I am calm. There is a feeling of delirium thumping in my heart, spreading through my body. With the little strength that I can muster, I reach out to take hold of the nearest objects to me. It ties me to the earth, but when my eyes no longer see light, the bond that keeps me on this world will be severed, and no longer shall i be alive. What if you and a four other people where the only ones alive on earth? After the Apocalypse, everyone died. Except for five of us. My name is Thalia, when I was thirteen years old, the earth was broken by deadly storms, methane, tsunamis, earthquakes. I survived. For years I wandered the earth, raiding abandoned shops for food, seeking shelter. Now I am fifteen, I feel like I have found a home. I have found a band of survivors like me. These people survived the Apocalypse, and now, we want answers .Abgeschlossene Geschichte
In The End ~Watty2017 Entry~ (COMPLETE)
I never believed it would end like this. I was just watching Netflix when the power went out, then before I knew it everyone was screaming, then the school began to shake and fell to the ground. Only three kids in my entire school were spared, four if you count me. I found a group of people heading to the east coast for a boat trip to a supposed safe haven in India. They died of disease days later. I found their bodies by the river. But I guess this is my life now, surviving with a scared boy, a pair of twins and trying to make it to the next day. Start: June 27, 2017 End:September 12, 2017Abgeschlossene Geschichte
Friends (SubzeroExtabyte x Reader )*Completed*
Y/N, which is you, was walking around the campus of your high school. You hear something weird. Like the sound of somebody getting pushed up against the lockers. You recognize the sound. All too well. You turn the corner and see the one person you never wanted to see again. The one who hurt you. The one who left, and left you broken. The one who let your trust and faith in people slip. The one who let you become lonely. The person who made you happy, but then let you fall and get buried ten feet under. He's the person you didn't feel like seeing. You weren't ready. You don't know what to do. They left, they let you become broken, they let you lose all hope in people, and now he's back. You wish it weren't true. You wish he never would've come back. Will you let them back in, or will you keep them out.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
Truth behind 9/11
Seen a lot of conspiracy theories about 9/11 and what really happened because people think it's easier to believe in stupid theories that have little to no proof. Also I will list the name of every victim who died including first responders so as to remind people this actually happened and is not something to joke about. These are facts plain and simple and not up for debate. Also not planting blame on Muslims or Islam because I don't believe justifying their actions in any way or aknowledge that they might have had a religious reason for doing what they did. Also I'm a fan of facts not fiction. I'm not emotional but I get pissed when I see conspiracies about 9/11 and I've been to D.C. also I don't condone the actions people took as soon as they heard who was responsible. For those who aren't aware of what I'm referring to, immediately after the 9/11 attacks mobs of Americans started attacking Muslims they saw in public. This unfortunately includes women and children at grocery stores. It also introduced cruel and unfair stereotypes about Muslims that were proudly blasted onto shows like American Dad and Family Guy. Extremists are separate and easily identified. To judge all Muslims based on an extremist sect is called Cultural Racism. To judge all Arabs based on extremists is called Ethnic Racism.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
The Grave Walkers
It all happened in one day. The nuclear explosion. The gas spilling out of the nuclear plant and poisoning people. The gas moving over the grave yard and the dead popping out a couple minutes later. People eating others. It's so much. I don't know if I will be able to survive.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
We shall not stop dancing
In September 2000 events in Israel had a big effect on my life. For the next few years Israel was targeted by scores of Palestinian suicide bombers who detonated deadly suicide belts packed with not only explosives but also schrapnel. There was no way of knowing when the next one would strike, be it on buses, cafes, restaurants or wherever crowds of people congretated. On June 1st a bomb struck a crowd of youngsters outside a disco in Tel Aviv. One young girl who lay injured told the paramedic "we shall not stop dancing". For some reason I still remembered those brave words years later. It was then that I decided to write a book about a fictional bombing in Tel Aviv. One of the biggest reasons for this was not generated by any political belief but to specifically show that despite everything that was thrown at them Israelis simply carried on living their lives. The book title comes from the brave words of the injured young girl. It will take you through just another regular day of 12 very different people, most of them unaware that it will be their last day.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
