...we saw it through the window of a tall building, perhaps it was the home i've always known, the building of 40 years, of a lifetime...but it was too short, i mean tall for queens...but not now, now it was tall enough to be in manhattan, to be looking out through a large exec window and see the empire state come down...omg...heart skipped a beat...maybe several...calls came in, phones rang throughout the office...another building was coming down...we saw it...i saw it...almost demolition style...but more violent...rubble clouds blackening the bright fall sky...i ran out...many of us did...buildings were going down twenty blocks from us, a mile...ran into a building with my brother...or to tell him, to get him...or something...don't fully recall now...i was there for a while...might've even spent a moment speaking with him...us determining how to get together with the rest of the family, if this was it...if we were ever going to see each other again...there were people rushing past us just short of stampede...the building floor was like a subway platform during rush-hour...the crumbling could be felt, the building was coming down...i ran out...just barely made it...the building collapsed...all the buildings in manhattan were coming down one by one and it was dawning on me that i wouldn't make it, that none of us would, that i was permanently separated from my family and even as i embraced chaos theory to still possibly re-coalesce, i knew as i ran, there was no where to run to...buildings crashed into rubble all around me...omg, i thought, of course...it was clear now that it was only a matter of time before something like this happened...as soon as i get out of this dream i have to get my family out of the city...the city was a target in waiting...
