Some moments don’t arrive with warning. They don’t announce themselves. They don’t come with dramatic music, flashing signs, or any indication that life is about to split into a before and an after. Most of the time, they arrive disguised as ordinary days. Days that seem completely forgettable. Days that begin like every other day….

Sirens ripped the sky open. One moment, the neighborhood was settling into its usual evening rhythm. Dinner was cooking in kitchens. Children were finishing homework at dining room tables.
