Butterfly

Man's flight strikes man's metal

"Get out! We've been attacked!"

Heat and smoke fill the air

"Hurry! Get out there get those people out!"

Metal straining to hold the weight under the heat

"You can't get them all out! Just get those below out! You can't save the
others!"

Cries, screams, shouts, prayers

"Honey everything is going to be alright."

Last calls, last words

"No time! Get away as fast as you can!"

Two wings met and fell

So did two Towers

Author notes

My 9/11 tribute.
Applied the Butterfly effect to the towers.
Short but more would be too much.

    Short is alright. You got out what you needed, I understand it perfectly and agree, no more is needed. It's very good. Wonderful tribute. Thanks for putting this. Thanks too for entering. God Bless!
