It’s been over two years now, but I still remember every detail of that day. It was a beautiful warm sunny clear sky day. I had to go to work and then had class at Hunter College that night. Little did I know what would await me that morning. When I got off my car, I found that the building was being evacuated and no one could tell me why. I could not find anyone that I worked with. There were hundreds of people just gathering around. No one knew exactly what had happened. Then someone said that there was a timing bomb in the building and the police were trying to dispose it. I thought that I should have turned around and tried to go home but a police officer forced us to keep our place. They were looking for the terrorists. Suddenly the building exploded in a burst of white clouds of billowing smoke and slowly started to collapsed to collapsed down-wards. The same officer who had directed us to stand there now shouted, “run” and we did. But not fast or far enough. We all were caught in the debris fallout. Most of us made it out, some did not. The world went totally black and soundless, I never heard the building fall, I could not see, nor hear, nor feel, just smell and taste were left. I could not breathe or think, nothing, the world just disappeared in an instant. I eventually made it out and home, but I have never been the same since. I lost a major part of my life that day, my girlfriend, Lynne. 36. The story happened ___________ . a. at the writer’s office b. at Hunter College c. in the writer’s car d. in a classroom 37.
