How Would You Make The Call?

©-MFB III-THE 9/11 CHRONICLES

It was the window

or the 1000 degrees of heat

melting the nylon

stockings to her legs

and her dress bursting

into tiny blue flames

and her hair reeking

as it crisped beyond

any curling iron damage

she'd ever known.

Sure her dress

would blow up 

and she would look

so ridiculous in mid-air

but the heat,

the God awful heat

melting her barrettes

to her skull

panties like hot glue

around her waist

molten metal in her

brassiere straps

"Please God forgive me?

she begged

as the window

burst first

 and then she followed

shortly after

taking an early flight

from her short life

              with a long wail of ..........

" I love you....Mom and Dad........

Tears streaming

as she plummeted

110 stories

to land with a wet

crump below

along with hundreds

of others falling

in twisting spirals to

 the waiting avenues

of death.

How would you

have made the call?
as you stood poised on

 the edge of that

blast furnace.

Nothing to

go back to,

nothing to look

forward too,

but emptiness

 and a long drop

into eternity.

Who would you

have called?

and what would

you have said?

in the mere

seconds left

as your cell

phone melted

 into a soft blob

even as you spoke.
