T Minus...A/N: Praying for the families.
We're a very subdued bunch tonight, trying to carry on as if nothing was amiss and failing miserably. The news went out at noon, lots of confusion and conflicting reports are bouncing around, and since then we've all been dragging through the motions, wanting nothing more than a space of quiet to reflect.
There are way too many emotions to sort through.
Shock, of course. This one was very close to home.
Worry and sudden distrust, which is deep-down disturbing.
Relief, which you promptly feel guilty for.
A need to reach a phone and reassure yourself that your family and friends are safe… which is downright strange.
And desperate grief and sorrow for the families of those caught up in the tragedy.
