Bob; just an ordinary guy.
Bob, the most ordinary man you would ever know. Every morning he gets up, goes to work and comes back home, from a job he hates, to his monotonous apartment Bob takes his routine five o’clock train to Penn Station. He gets off his train, noticing the crowded station, and waits for two hours on a bench, to make sure he has enough time to get to work. When it’s time to get to work, he walks out of the station. As he walks out, his eyes open in horror as he sees the collapsing of the Twin Towers.

this isnt too bad, not a fan of the story but the writing is done well.

I thought that this really was creative and scary at the same time. Even though it happened 8 years ago it seems like just yesterday. I did like how they made it feel like an ordinary day though.

This story is short and to the point. It was a suprising yet upseting ending. It shows just how many people were liveing their normals lives as the twin towers fell, the tradgety struck.

I liked how it seemed like just an ordinary day, and how relatable Bob could be to anyone. The ending was surprising.

this is such a cool idea. I love how the ordinary guy just comes out and see's his world shaken by one of the worst events in american history.

i think this story has a disappointing ending because the twin towers falling is a sad event for many people

parveen said...

I think this is good because so many people that day were a "bob"

this piece is well written, and makes you think back to when the twin towers collapsed and how it tore apart people's worlds.

I really like this. I think that there is a good idea and that it can be added to. I think that you did a really good job.

Most people do live their lives like this, hating everything and not enjoying the moment they live in. I think the author does a good job of making one think about how they live their lives.

I like that the author doesn't tell the reader the problem until the end of the piece, it leaves you thinking what could be wrong.
