The Twin Towers
As I turned on the news I heard the terrible news of the Twin
Towers attack, as the images flashed before my eyes I kept thinking was she in
there? I closed my eyes and I said a small personal pray to God praying that my
beautiful Sister wasn’t in the tower, and then ran out the door sprinting down
the road towards the Towers. Sprinting down the road seeing all the horrified faces
of the public I had doubt that God wouldn’t save my Sister? A tear rolled off my cheek and
wiped my mind of all the thoughts of doubt, why would God disappoint me? We are
both strong Catholic’s so he had no reason to kill my Sister? I could feel my
feet bleeding from the blisters my shoes gave me but I wasn’t bothered I reached
the Tower and lots of Police, Ambulance and Fire men were there they wouldn’t let
me run in and get her so they took me to the area where the dead were. I screamed
to the man. “What’s the point God has saved my Sister I know he has!” Then he
replied with “Miss I’m sorry but you have to check.” As I walked towards the
dead I was praying out loud holding my Rosary Then I saw her I saw her crushed…
I fell to my knees and cried “Why!” I screamed “Why!” I saw the bracelet that I
gave her for her 18th, that was the only thing not crushed it said ‘Believe
in yourself and God and he will save you when in trouble’.
6 Months Later
The news was still talking about the disaster it was just
reminding me of Gods betrayal! We had done nothing wrong? I had never
questioned God? So why did he punish me by killing my only family? I had tried
to forgive God my talking about it to Priests and Nuns but none of them could
change my mind.
Since that day I have never prayed or sung to God or to any
God from any religion I don’t believe in it anymore as my one and only God had
gone and betrayed me like this…

A great effort here - well done! I like how you have revisited 6 months on. It would be interesting to hear how your character justifies his decision? Was it an easy one to make?
