The phone call

It was a Friday afternoon, mid January, two years ago. I was working in the building that is in the picture when I received the phone call, the 'come quickly' phone call from my mom's cousin.

As I waited for the taxi (and I know this is a cliche but...) it felt as if the earth would open up and swallow me or that the building would collapse onto me.

The events of that day are still a blur to my mom's cousin, I remember every moment as if I was watching a film in slow motion.

I no longer work in that building.
