I'm not sure if my memory added this after the fact but I do distinctly remember having Final Fantasy VIII paused on my TV overnight, and when I went to shut the game off I saw some news story about an explosion, would have been the first plane hitting. But at that age I never cared what was on the news.

It wasn't until I got to school did I understand what was happening. It was such a weird day. I remember a bunch of us being in the library watching the news as the second plane hit. Watching the people jumping from the towers. It was heartbreaking and devastating beyond words.

It was such a somber day. At recess everyone standing in the field, quiet, distraught, not really talking. Just standing in the field.

The rest of the school day we didn't do any school work. It was just sitting in class with teachers talking to us, trying to ease us the best they could. As a very nervous and anxious kid it was the first time I saw adults be as scared and confused as I was.
