A Beginning of a Movie by Albert Jones.
The day of the attack Grandy Blackwolf was in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Shelton in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The television was on and Grandy was underneath the kitchen sink welding a pipe that should not have been welded. After releasing the connection he would have to re-connect it, install a new faucet and then a new toilet. After that he would give an estimate on bringing water back into a long abandoned, waterless bathroom outside of their garage.
“Tom, Tom!” said Mrs. Shelton. The sound of the word made Grandy stop what he was doing, pull out from under the sink and look at what Mrs. Shelton was doing. She was watching t.v.
“Tom! They bombed the twin towers!”
Tom walked into the living room from the hallway and stared at the television set. Grandy stood up and inched over to the television set too. Smoke poured from the top floors of the World Trade Center. The three of them stared at the television set in shock as the rest of the world was doing that day. None of them knew what to say until Tom said it.
“Why?”, he said. “Why?”
The three watched as the towers
