*Challenge #39: Liberty Avenue* Title: Liberty Avenue Notes: It felt nice to write something again today. Un-beta'd. And the condom goes to: Brian, who I think actually earned this one instead of getting it from me because I love him. ;-) He needs to win again...it's been a while!
Liberty Avenue was jammed with fire trucks, ambulances, police cars. The rain-slicked asphalt reflected the flashing lights, adding to the frantic atmosphere. People huddled in small shivering groups looking stunned and shocked. Others scrambled through the throng, calling out names hoarsely as they searched for loved ones. No longer festive and gay, Liberty Avenue was forbidding and cold.
Brian pushed down panic as his car approached, thinking only of the people he knew were there. Then his mind flashed to one. “Please, just let him be ok,” droned in his brain repeatedly as he joined the throng on the street.
