This morning we had a fire drill at work. In the last month my company moved from the 7th floor to the 21st floor. That’s 14 more floors to walk down, 308 more stairs. My legs will feel the burn tomorrow.

I couldn’t help but think of 9/11 and what that would’ve been like going down all those stairs as fast as possible to save your life, to save everything you had worked so hard to gain. Or what it would have been like for those firefighters on that day to go up all those stairs and to stare fear in the face.
