A date to remenber...
November 22, 1963. The announcement comes over the radio at school. President Kennedy of the United states has been shot. dead. I put my head down on my desk, and I am crying.
Suddenly, I'm not in school, in Canada, I'm not even a girl. I am a grown man with a TV camera, filming the presidential parade, in Dallas Texas. I am situated high on a grassy knoll above the plaza that is along the route.
Shot ring out. They are coming from everywhere and nowhere. They are coming from right behind me. I turn around, and there is a shape of someone or something with a weapon. The face is melting, I am melting.
I scream, and scream and scream. I am home again. I am me again, a kid in Canada. The door opens. He / it whatever from the grassy knoll is home - my home. I scream.
