Colby's Death
As the the passenger jet approaches
the end of the runway, the passengers
sit back to relax for a long flight to
Washington.
All seems well until a young boy named
Colt sees three strangly dressed tan men
leave to go to the bathroom together.
They stood in there quietly, for what it seemed
like hours, but was really only about ten minutes.
The bathroom door opened once, the skinniest
of the three men walked out in a large, fluffy jacked
But instead of the other two men walking out, the door shut quickly.
Five long minutes later, the door slowly peeked open again
suddenly the two men rush out of the bathroom. They grab
the third man and then another man, dressed the exact same way
follows them toward the pilots cabin. The curtain shuts so the passengers
could not see a thing but all of a sudden, a shriek burst through the plane.
Colt runs to find a flight attendent but the first one he reaches is
layed in a seat covered with BLOOD! He scurried back to his seat when
an foreign voice speaks over the intercom and say, "Sorry but this plane has been
hijacked!"
Colt starts to bawl; he realizes he has his cell phone. He calls his family to wish them
good living because in just a few minutes he sees them approaching the Twin Towers.
He is telling his family that he loves them and not to worry that his death will be quick and painful.
He did not want to hang up so he just kept repeating I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LO..... then there was silence and the call dropped.
This innocent boy was flying to Washington to see his grandma on her death bed, he had
no idea that he would be one of the thoundsands of victims that September 11, 2001 would have.
Should any family ever have to go through this pain?
