Appeal

VIVIAN

With all the recent events, it felt as if time started to move again after standing still. It was as if when I was living in Jacob's apartment I was in limbo, but once I left life resumed, with all the ups and downs.

Weeks went by since the attack. With Jacob's and Rebecca's help, I followed the developments about the terrorist as much as I could. It seemed the government wanted to treat his wounds first, before putting him on trial as a criminal.

For a while after the incident people would point and stare at me, whisper about me, or sometimes come up to me to congratulate me or shake my hand. All the attention made me uncomfortable, but it was slowly receding as people forgot about the attack and continued with their lives.
