9/11


Two Towers, smoke, fire and a black bar with big white letters where on stands: ATTACK.
It's my memory of september the eleventh 2001.
Where I am? I am on a tennis court. Where my brother has his training.
I'm watching tv, and as a six year old kid, i already have noticed that this was bad, very bad.

I didn't know where it was except that it happened in the United States. And in the United States wasn't that the place were my dad is?
Lucky, he was in Chicago, not in New York City. the place where this tragedy happened.

I've been at the place, this summer, where it all happened. Nowadays it's a construction side. The Freedom Tower is planned to come there. But you can still feel the atmosphere of what an hell it most have been there.

We all hope that it will never happen again, but the fear that it might happen again is everywhere and always.

And that's how we now live for nine years between hope and fear.
