The Station of the Twelfth by Chaz Brenchley
My rating: 3/5 cats
And at the precise minute we are here to mark, the gun booms out its own ironic message, the bellow that calls for another kind of silence; and there are echoes coming back across the water, but they only add to its quality, this two minutes’ silence of ours, in remembrance of those lost.
although this story is set on a whole other planet, it felt appropriately elegiac to read it on the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
