8:44 A.M.
This novel is inspired largely by my experiences living just blocks from Ground Zero on 9/11: the confusion and uncertainty during the event, the normal lives interrupted and ended, the long-term aftermath during which we never stopped expecting the next attack: here it is, right now. This chapter begins at 8:44, and its action is meant to last 2 minutes; 8:46 was when the first plane hit the World Trade Center.
