The air in the elevator hums with mundane anticipation. It is September 10th, 2001. You stand among tourists from the Arab Emirates, ascending toward the Twin Towers. Suddenly, the world fractures. A violent vision seizes you: tomorrow, 2:14 PM. Planes deviate. Steel screams. The Pentagon burns. The vision fades, leaving only the cold reality of the present. You hold the weight of the future in your trembling hands. The world waits for your warning.
