Put It On Pause
by Megan Diamondstein

What's happened? What did you hear?I don't get it-is this someone's idea of a sick joke? Goddamn it, can anyone fucking tell me what
happened?
Oh my god-we have to call Mamie Poppie-what are we going to do?
This is isn't happening, its just not true, it can't be! Oh my gosh, I can't do this, I just cant hear this
They were supposed to get married next month, you know, the 28th she's such a dear sweet beautiful girl-Oh dear lord, my poor boy, I pray she's
out, please dear God let her be away from this-What? But she was just picking up her dress yesterday-She's not there, please. Dear God don't let
her have been in there.
I don't know, I jus wanna go home,I cant anymore handle this, I, I, just need to do something, yeah that's it,keep myself busy-maybe, maybe
What the hell is wrong with them? Do they think keeping us fucking trapped in the building's going to help anyone? What? Listen to some random
teacher aimlessly banter on the hours is going to make everything better?
Please pick up, please pick up-what do I do? I keep trying but no one's picking up , what does that mean? Does that mean something?
What, did they just call my name?Why? Why would they call my name down? No, if everything was okay why would in hell would they make an
announcement?
I, I can't believe it-I just can't believe it. What's going to happen to us all now?
Who does this kid think he is? Ive been waiting for the phone for 20 min. and he's sitting there telling his muchachos bout the freakin' thing-what
are they blind and deaf? Get off the damn phone!!!!!
They've really done it this time?You know whose fault this thing is? Those fucking assholes-they're gonna pay
Can someone just turn it off already-how much worse could it possibly get at this point-you all already know what happened-so why do we have to keep
listening to it? I just can't listen
Please, please, can someone tell me if they've been able to recover anyone?-please, someone!
Ya know I don't even know where she is, God! Why do I always have to start up with her-she could be anywhere, she works all over the place-damn it
Why'd we have to fight this morning? If, if she's - oh please, please no I'm so sorry please no
It's starting, isn't it?
