Something's Missing

[00:01.11] So

[00:01.61] So

[00:02.61] So you'll call?

[00:03.61] As soon as I get back

[00:06.11] And then she left

[00:08.12] And then I was alone

[00:09.86] Back to the way that things were

[00:14.11] Back to the simple and plain

[00:18.86] For five days the weather had been so nice

[00:23.11] But as they boarded, it started to rain

[00:37.88] At the end of the day, after everyone left

[00:42.11] We all tried to go back to normal, except

[00:46.86] The town was more quiet and somehow far emptier

[00:51.12] We all looked the same but we're different than we were

[00:55.61] The gym was a sight as I stacked the last cot

[01:00.11] Thank you's written everywhere and things they forgot

[01:04.86] The board of health says, clean it up, every part

[01:08.61] So we start

[01:10.11] 7:42 AM, Sunday, September 16th

[01:14.86] After five days, they just ran the zamboni over the ice

[01:18.12] And played hockey

[01:20.86] With the plane people gone, Gander Town Council

[01:23.86] Declares the state of emergency over and I head home

[01:27.61] We were all exhausted, just spent

[01:29.36] Most of us had been up for five days straight working

[01:32.62] But somehow I can't sleep, so I sit down and turn on the television

[01:36.86] And I just start crying

[01:39.61] I hadn't let myself cry the whole time

[01:42.61] Something's gone

[01:46.62] Out the airplane window, I can see Manhattan

[01:48.86] And there's still smoke

[01:50.61] And suddenly I'm afraid all over again

[01:52.61] And there are other afraid too

[01:54.61] Something's over

[01:58.11] I know Newark airport

[01:59.36] You could pull a truck over on the side of the turnpike

[02:01.89] And shoot a grenade launcher at a plane coming in

[02:06.11] Something's done

[02:09.86] But nothing happens

[02:13.36] I drive Kevin back to his place

[02:15.12] We don't say much

[02:17.86] Something's missing

[02:21.86] I go straight to his firehouse

[02:24.36] Part of me wondered if they just weren't telling me

[02:26.86] But, they still don't know

[02:29.37] Something's changed

[02:34.11] My flat is the same as I left it

[02:36.12] But emptier

[02:36.87] Quieter

[02:38.11] I start to unpack

[02:39.61] And I find the camera

[02:41.36] Something's rearranged

[02:45.86] On the way to my restaurant

[02:46.86] I drop my daughter at school

[02:48.61] But she won't go in

[02:50.37] She says she's scared

[02:51.86] What do I tell her?

[02:53.11] Something's strained

[02:56.87] Back at my dad's house

[02:57.87] I look out the window

[02:59.61] At this view I've looked at my whole life

[03:01.61] And now a part of it

[03:02.86] Something's missing

[03:04.62] Something's missing

[03:08.36] Kevin breaks up with me

[03:10.86] And then he quits and moves back home to New York

[03:13.37] And I miss him

[03:14.61] I miss his jokes

[03:16.36] Something's lost

[03:20.61] Nick and I call each other when we can

[03:22.61] But, it's awful

[03:23.86] The only reason we met was because this terrible thing happened

[03:28.11] Something's cost

[03:32.37] I go down to Ground Zero

[03:33.62] Which is like the end of the world

[03:36.11] It's literally still burning

[03:39.87] Something's not

[03:43.86] My dad asks, were you okay, were you were stranded?

[03:46.62] How do I tell him that I wasn't just okay

[03:50.11] I was so much better

[03:51.61] Something's missing

[03:55.11] I phone American and say, I'm ready to go

[04:00.87] Wherever you want to send me

[04:01.87] But they say, take a few days off

[04:04.11] I phone every day and I am back at the airport by Thursday

[04:07.87] And it's empty

[04:10.36] Silent

[04:11.36] It's just, a different place

[04:14.12] And I stop what few passenger there are and I say

[04:16.61] Thank you for still flying

[04:19.36] Hello, you've reached Gander Academy

[04:21.36] This is Beulah Davis, how can I help you?

[04:26.11] He's gone

[04:27.86] It's over

[04:29.11] Oh no, I'm so sorry, Hannah

[04:32.36] I'm so sorry

[04:34.86] You are here

[04:38.61] At the end of a moment

[04:41.87] At the end of the world

[04:46.11] You are here

[04:50.37] On the edge of the ocean

[04:53.36] Where the story ends

[04:56.11] Where the river meets the sea

[05:00.61] Something's gone

[05:03.86] Something's over

[05:06.36] At the office

[05:06.61] In an airport

[05:07.86] In my house

[05:09.11] On an island

[05:09.86] Something's changed

[05:11.11] In a classroom

[05:12.11] At the station

[05:13.61] In my car

[05:14.86] And wherever you are

[05:18.37] Something's gone

[05:21.11] You are here
