The dawn awoke one morning br to start a day brand new br but there was something wrong br outside no birds sang or flew. br The skies that normally teamed with life br on the day before br now fell silent empty and abandoned br by all that flew there. br While in a great city br twin towers crumpled into dust, br its plumes of agony stretched br high up in the air for the world to see br that a new demon with a cancerous soul br was about to scourge the earth br to corrupt others to follow him br into the damnation of hell. br Was this the Armageddon that was prophesied, br in which the world as we know it died? br As the tentacles of this demon, br who dressed as a man br stretched around the world br penetrating every land. br Hence, the battle of good against evil began br in the day of infamy known simply as 911. br In the days that followed as no planes flew, br no birds sang or took to the skies br as if in a mark of respect from them to br for those who had fallen br in this demons evil plan. br br 13 October 2009 br br Author’s note: br br Following the horror of 911 when all the planes around the world were grounded a strange phenomena occurred. For all the time the planes were grounded the world seemed absent of birds. My late brother brought it to my attention and when I looked, he was right. I did not see or hear a bird until the planes few again.
