Excerpt
A loud gasp escapes as I cry out,
“Oh god!”
Gia yells through the cellphone,
“What? What is it?”
“These two buildings are
completely on fire! There are about ten fire trucks down the street trying to
put them out. Wait, is that the news station?”
I spin around to face the nurse
at the station and yell out, “Turn on the news, quick!” She bolts out of her
chair and rushes to turn on the TV. Flipping through channels, she lands on New
York News 1 and watches as the news anchor describes the terrifying scene.
I yell into my cell, “Gia, turn
on channel one right now.”
“Okay, hold on, let me flip the
channel. Oh my god! Melanie that’s right by you!”
I watch as the buildings burn.
“Yea, I see the buildings from the window!”
She shouts, “Holy shit! I hope
everyone got out all right.”
I say a silent prayer. “I hope so
too.”
“Wait, Melanie are you watching
the TV right now?”
Trying to get a better angle, I
press my head closer to the window. “No, I’m looking outside. What do you see?”
“There’s a firefighter riding a
ladder all the way up the building.”
I turn around and make my way to
the TV to get a closer look. The nurse and I watch as the firefighter drives
the ladder higher and higher. He inches closer to the building, stopping right
next to a window, and shatters it with a hammer.
Confused, I ask her, “What is he
doing?”
The nurse looks at me with fear
in her eyes. “He’s trying to get in. There must be someone stuck on that
floor.”
A cold chill runs down my spine.
Oh god. We watch together as the fireman climbs over the railing of the ladder
and peeks inside the window, disappearing into a cloud of smoke. Suddenly the
adjoining buildings start to rumble, slowly crumbling into pieces. Pedestrians
run as far as they can away from the falling structures, fearing for their
lives. I scream out, dropping my phone to the floor as my hands cover my mouth.
The nurse yells alongside me and races to her desk, calling someone on the
phone. My heart drops as I watch the horror unfold, praying the firefighter is
able to escape.
As the buildings cascade to the
ground, the cameras locate the firefighter and catch him jumping out of the
window just as the buildings drop. He lands directly on the ladder and crouches
into a low position. I focus on his arms and it looks likes he’s holding
someone. The ladder immediately swivels away from the collapsing buildings in
the opposite direction, missing the falling debris by a hair.
My entire body shakes as I watch
the fireman hold on tight as the ladder swings and slowly lowers back down to
the truck. As soon as it reaches its destination, he unwraps his arms and my
eyes water as the little boy pops up his head and looks into the crowd.
Paramedics rush to the boy,
taking him from the firefighter as he jumps off the roof of the truck. He races
toward the rubble and starts digging profusely. I watch as firefighters assist
in the dig before the camera turns away and focuses on the anchor.
Still frozen, I hear Gia’s voice
yell from a distance and glance at the phone on the floor. Picking it up, I
breathe heavily, trying to calm myself down. “Gia, did you see that?”
Her voice shouts, “Yes! Holy
fuck! He saved that kid!” Just as I’m about to respond, the intercom blasts
throughout the hallways of the hospital. “All available medical staff, please
report to the ER immediately.”
