From the author
On the morning that will mark an unforgettable day, a pedestrian waited impatiently for the light to turn in her favor. She was running late and needed to make it to her recital on time. As soon as the light turned green, she started to cross when all of a sudden she hears an explosion coming from the distance making her stagger. She immediately runs for cover as men, women, and children scurry to take shelter. From across the street, she could see a burning bus with many people strewn on the ground, debris covering the street. She thought she was in the middle of a battle zone and was terrified. Then, she heard a woman's voice pleading for help. As she ran to her aid, she noticed the young woman was drenched in blood. With terror in her eyes, she wondered if the unimaginable had hit home... again.
