I stare at my post for a little while.
I try and get onto news websites again.
BBC, CNN, USA Today, New York Times.
I get the same result as ever.
September 12th 2001, articles about how The Americas were ruined.
I feel disheartened.
I stand up.
I look around.
I look out of the window.
I look away from the light.
I find it too bright outside.
I look at the clock.
I sit down.
I look at the blog again.
I have an email.
I have no one to email.
I read it.
It says "Go to the door."
I go to the door.
I rest my hand on the knob.
I feel it's cool metal on my skin.
I tighten my grip.
I open the door.
I feel a breeze on my face.
I try step outside.
I see a hedge,
I feel grass under my feet.
I see streets
I am in some kind of suburbs.
I walk toward the old metal gate.
I can climb it.
I do climb it.
I almost go over the top.
I can't do it.
I fall back.
I scream.
I cry.
I yell.
I am not heard.
I am alone.
I am hungry again.
I make myself another omelette.
I eat.
I look at the clock.
I lie in bed.
I remember, tomorrow will be the same as always.
I don't question it.
I fall asleep.
