                  *in memory to the victims, with all the love of the world*

 

 

Morning in the city...

people is walking in the streets, to their jobs ; children are in the school ; life is

normally here; it's a common day...until now.  It's almost 8:45 a.m. ...

suddenly, a big explotion was listened near to the WTC, in a south Manhattan ;

an airplane was crashed one of the famous twin towers (north), beginning a terrible

fire ; nobody cannot believed ; they was think that's a unfortunate accident, but not...

                                         

                                          ********

 

Peter Venkman woke up, and saw that he was alone in the bed. Turning on the other

side for to sleep a few minutes more, when listened noises in the first floor ; altered

voices, and almost screams.  He dressed quickly and down the staircases. Voices

was come to the living room, and saw his friends watching the TV notices, with a

expression of amusse (and horror) in the faces...

 

"What happen? Why have you that expression?..."  , and before could say nothing,

Winston senalyzed the TV and scream...

 

"Look...!"   ... the four watched a second airplane crashing to the south tower,

cutting it in almost two parts, literally... They're muttered.

 

"What a movie" , Peter says, "very spectacular. It's so real..." , but Ray corrected

him...

 

"Is not a movie, Peter, it's real ; these two airplanes were crashed in the Twin Towers,

 in Manhattan ; here, in New York, and now...that's the notices, not TV show..."

 

"...and say that's terrorist attack, probably..." , then, Peter turned around Winston

and increped *him* ...

 

"Terrorists? Here, in N.Y.? You're kidding, boy ; that's impossible!"

 

"I fear", Egon finally says, "that is true, Peter...there are terrorists here... and

 nobody could do nothing for stopped them ; that was so surprised..." , brunette's

green eyes turned brilliants, and screamed...

 

"It's not true! I don't believe it!! This can't happen in the city, my city, my country! Why?

 Do they think what they are? Bastards!! ..." ,  he was out of control, and Egon

took him by both arms, and said firmly...

 

"Calm, Peter, calm! We didn't believe it, but it's true ; Manhattan was bombed ,

  almost destroyed...we're sorry, too : everybody's sorry too..."

 

"...and all the people running, screaming, crying. All the people *out there* " suddenly

Winston remembered... "Janine! she didn't coming yet...!"

 

"Oh, no!" , Ray worried,  " I really hope that she's allright..."  ; in this moment, the

phone rings... Egon ran to take the call...

 

"Ghostbusters...Janine! Are you okay? In where are you...ahá...yes, sure...take it

  easy...don't worry, we're fine...take care, please...bye..."

The other three were close to him and asked...

 

"How is she? In where? she's not in damage? Please, tell us..."

"No ; she told me that's fine ; she couldn't go away her neighborhood. All exits are

 closed. Police insisted to the people they have stay in home : WTC was doomed..."

They're stayed in silence...

 

"At least, she's save" , Ray says, " And we? We'll can do...?"

 

"I don't know what you can do" , Pete indeed, "but I'll going there and help the

 rescuers to find survivors. I don't stay here without do nothing ; I want help them."

 

"We're going with you, Pete", Winston agreed, "Let's go, men."

And they're went to Manhattan.

 

                                          ***********

 

When the guys arrived to disaster zone, were petrified : towers on fired, a hard dust

covered cars and streets, the people running in all directions, afraid ; the others

buildings menacing fall down over their heads... a police officer was closed to them...

 

"What are you doing here? It's dangerous to stay in this place..."

"Ghostbusters ; we want help you to rescue trapped people..." , Winston says...

 

"Perfect! We need all the help that as possible. Go there ; maybe there are some

 people in *there* ..."  ;   They went to the ruins, and begun to remove rubbles...

 

And then, they saw *something* that let *them* in one piece...

 

A ghost was surgered to the fallen structure, and stayed in front of the guys.

Both were see for a seconds, and the entity "said" ...

 

"You, fools... this be continued...until the giant was ruined, and pay for all his sins...

  world will be destroyed, purified ; liberty of your evil influence...so was wrote,

  so will happen...you're dead, everybody's dead...long life..." , Peter screamed to it...

 

"You're crazy! Nobody will destroy this city, no one the world! This country are

  strong, and neither stupid ghost will scare us! Do you understand?!"

 

"Why, why this happen? What will follow it...?" , Ray just gets a maligne laugh, and

the ghost vanished of there... They weren't obtain an answer...

 

"This country will not ruined! We have faith!  We'll stand on feet!

 Everybody will see it...!" , but Pete's shout was lost in the wind...and they listened

little noises under ruins...maybe somebody is alive... they begin remove stones and

metal tubes, again.  There are hopeless, after all.

 

Courage and faith, because the life must go on.

 

   end.
