it was so quiet after. so very quiet. i drove by at night on the 13th. flames and smoke and the smell of it, wafting across the water. no planes in the sky, all the way home from florida. except in virginia, near the airforce base. everybody driving home, trying to get back to their families. i followed a guy from new jersey all the way from jacksonville florida to south carolina. a long fucking time ago, it seems.
