Fallen Towers, Broken Hearts

Thanks for checking out Nerd's Eye View! Want to know more about me? Go here. I wrote this 12 years ago. I reread it and repost almost every 9/11, it’s my annual memorial. It is easy, with a handful of years behind us, to say that on September 11, 2001, everything changed. It is easy to look back and see ourselves shifted into shadow and grief as though in that one horrible moment, something black crossed in front of the sun.
