Never Again
by dinkydow
Billowing columns of gray smoke tainted an immaculate blue sky as innocents were sacrificed on the Twin Towers altar. At the Pentagon, flames devoured lives like a monster gone berserk.
9/11 seared horrific images into a nation's memory and united a people as none other; as television chronicled unfolding tragedy and turned normality into infamy.
Many died that day; friends - good people in the wrong place at the wrong time. Jack vowed it must never happen again.
Complacent, he'd concentrated on an off-world enemy, and disregarded those with evil hearts. How unfortunate that mankind was often its own worst enemy.
