The Compassionate Combatant

"It was September 11th, 2004 and we had an ambush planned that night.

Three years ago on this same date I was asleep in my father's lower-Manhattan loft when the phone rang. I was living with my friend Tim at the time who was the manager of my father's photography studio that was part of the loft space. It was his mother on the phone and she asked me, "Is Tim okay? Is he safe?""
