Stuart has a cousin, Erika, who worked on the 101st floor of South Tower. She stopped for coffee on the street that morning and was running late. As only 20 people above the fire got out, that coffee and muffin surely saved her life.

Stuart is lately (2025) fixed on 9/11 and is watching numerous videos and movies based on the unimaginable disaster. An acrophobe, he cannot fathom the choices the victims faced above the impact zones. He believes Welles Remy Crowther is one of the greatest Americans and defines heroism. He is trying to work it all out through poetry. It is past the time of rescuing anyone, but he offers some solace in alternative views of that day, ones of imagined rescue. In the real world, he has sent fire safety ideas to fire departments in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, the last of which has an active helicopter rescue plan. He views that day as Hell on Earth and hopes you will allow him to rectify the tragedy - even if only through poetry.
