Hmmm, thinking about it. But I could probably not write it from the point of one of my characters. I don't have the perspective to make that work.

For me, the horror of this day is forever marred by America's reaction to it.
The first few days showed America at its best, everybody pitching in to help in any way he could.
Now, it feels more like the "Reichtagsbrand", an excuse for right-wing types to play on the fear of people to dismantle civil liberties in the name of security. Like the "Ministry of Fatherland security". Evil or Very Mad

To express the feelings I have for this day, I would have to write several pieces, say several from the point of people caught in this, maybe even from the point of one of the terrorists. But also from the point of some right-wing "fascist", who sees this as a god-send that will allow him to advance his agenda.

I'm going to write it in the first person from my point of view; From Sun Up to Sun Set, and all the events in between.

In a sense it will involve my characters, but not the ones that you guys know. Once my server's up and running again and get the sites on them working again, if you read the comics strips on accidentalcomics.com, you'll begin to recongnize a few of them: The Alphas...

Ok, not to hog up Chris' Forum; I'm moving it to my forum...
I'm still thinking about the guidelines, but any and all input is appriecated.

Well, I'm figuring to do that day and the next couple from the POV of Lee & friends, including at leat oen who hasn't shown up, yet, in the story. It will reflect a lot of what I saw and went through.

Very thoughtfully,

Hmm, I could possibly use this to debut my characters. Pity I had to change my name due to conflict with another famous Fur (it is Tom Forrester, it will be Adrian Richardson).
Along with Michelle and Dan. Or possibly, if Chris and EWS would let me, I could use Adi to replace Sabrina at Amy and Tom's flat, unless it's already been done...
