Many people died today‚ although if any one survived I highly doubt they will be the same. I highly doubt I will be the same. I

On Heights By Jackson Downey Sitting on the ledge of the roof of their apartment‚ a couple admired the cityscape and high rises in the distance. The man‚ looking down‚ had a sudden urge to jump‚ and not only that but to push his love down to the pavement twelve stories bellow. Quickly‚ he shook off this odd crazing for a final skydive‚ but he wondered if she thought the same thing. Why had he thought of it in the first place?

London by train. It took about four to five hours. We stayed in a 3 star hotel with four bedrooms. We visited icons such as the London eye‚ national gallery‚ the Tower of London and Madam Tussauds.
