its a very good read, theres a lot of predictions made that ended up happening so it got a real eeriness factor to it. also it contains the first 9/11 meme.
I was in middle school when 9/11 happened and it was basically like a switch got flipped
The same teachers who were bemoaning us loving Pokemon and playing on our Game Boys were making us watch live footage of people dying and telling us that everything was going to be fine
One of the gym teachers had a breakdown and started to cry, half of the kids started to point and laugh at him
Everyone started making up rumors about who did it, #1 runner was aliens
For six hours, I sat in a room clutching my backpack, looking at my comic books and trading cards, waiting for my parents to come pick me up early as the rest of my class slowly filtered out as their parents arrived
My teacher came up to me and put a hand on my shoulder and said “Are you okay? You’ve been really quiet today and that’s not like you.”
It became suddenly apparent that nothing good was ever going to happen again
“I’m okay” I managed to get out, “it’s just a lot to think about”
I went home a short while later, we got KFC for dinner.
