Time Tells All
by thegooddoctor in 100 Words
The CIA flying the planes in 9/11 is awkward. To realize 6.5 trillion dollars spent to kill five hundred thousand terrorists at a cost of 8 million dollars per person is a lie? Making the question why pay for war when it’s all a lie? RMS Lusitania 1982 documents revealed it carried ammunition. Remember the Maine 1976 investigation cleared Spain with the boiler being determined the cause of the explosion. Two million Vietnamese people died because of the Gulf of Tonkin event which never occurred. To realize Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction. Syria did not gas people.

The Angry Camper
by thegooddoctor in 100 Words
Stuart had a heart transplant last March and felt lucky to sit around a campfire with Paul.
The drunk from the next campsite stumbled over again. “Stop all that damn noise!”
Paul stood and yelled, “Look buddy, we’re just talking. No way you can hear us.”
“Stop banging on those drums. Next time I’ll have a twenty-two.”
“Call 9-1-1, Paul.”
Twenty minutes later they heard all the commotion of the arrest.
“You guys gonna be on the news,” said the park ranger. “That guy was wanted for the murder of Alex Edmund.”
Shocked, Stuart said, “Alex Edmund was my donor.”

Brad
by thegooddoctor in 100 Words
Brad is splayed out on his couch watching the Seahawks. He is surrounded by snacks and beer. He had played football in college but had never made The League, a great disappointment. Suddenly Brad felt very sleepy. He put down his beer and closed his eyes. “I will rest for a few minutes,” he sighed.
In the next moment, Brad is running down the field in a large, noisy stadium. People in the stands are cheering him on. Brad has never felt so exhilarated.
Brad’s wife comes into the room, screams, and dials 911. Brad has achieved his wildest dream.

Innocence Lost
by thegooddoctor in 100 Words
Robyn watched the memorial for an hour before shutting the television. The numerous innocent casualties grieved her. Eighteen-years-later and September 11th, 2001 remained visible. The screams and falling debris echoed, and the blackened sky that had been full of abundant sunshine before the tragedy, frightened her.
She took a deep breath and poured herself a steaming cup of herbal tea. The warmth soothed her stomach.
Robyn had left her 911 operator job that very evening. The towers collapsing had brought her over the edge and the voices of people pleading for help still haunted her.
Tears formed and tea spilled.

Never Forget
by thegooddoctor in 100 Words
It was a warm sunny day on September 11, 2001. Lori remembered the towers imploding, the sadness and knot in her chest from the horror. She never forgot the sight of human bodies dropping to the ground as she watched from the window with watery eyes and shaking hands. She paced the floor as her other colleagues stayed silently glued to the window. The only words were those on the phone for panicked loved ones.
Sixteen years later, on a warm sunny day, the names of the victims are televised and read by grieving family members.
Lori will never forget.
