September 11

โ€œToday, you don't have to go to school.
Pack the things that are important to you in a bag,
then come downstairs to see me.โ€
Mom's voice echoed in the early morning,
replacing the usual sound of my alarm clock.
I got up, groggy and confused,
trying to figure out what was going on.

โ€œWhat do you mean?โ€
I shouted while walking down the stairs, filled with curiosity.
The sound of things being moved and shuffled was the only response I got.
I quickly hurried to the storage room, where I found Mom hunched over, searching for something.

โ€œWhere are we going?โ€
