i don't know what to think. do i think bush turned a blind eye? yes. do i think it was al Qaeda? yes and this is why.
it was April i just got
fired from the bar i worked at and need some smokes. so i walked to the small convenience store around the corner.this store was shady to say the
least .but samir the owner seemed like a nice guy. i got smokes, and told him i just got fired he said he needed someone to work the day shift, so i
took the job. the job paid cash everyday sometimes right out of the register, but that was cool with me the job was awesome all i did was watch movies
and eat junk food sweet. i would work the day samir would work at night it was great.
so, on the back of the counter under the register, al Qaeda
was written. i would sit there and try to pronounce it and wonder what it meant. remember this is April before 911 so i had no idea what it meant or
how to say it. so i ask samir he gave me a look like ha you silly American and just shook his head.then on one day a cop comes in to the store he
leaves and samir start talking about crazy stuff, light hearted joking then all of a sudden he gets real serious and ask me if i know any terrorist im
like what ?? ?(like if it was a movie i would of look at the camera and been like what the # did that dude just say) then he started to say something,
but stopped mid sentence and, completely change the subject telling me i needed to go sweep up over there real real weird . what ever,
so time
goes by and one morning when i was real hung over and not in the mood to chat. a guy came in and woke me up (yeah i would sleep with my head on the
counter) and said he was a middle east scholar dude and reads Arabic and pointed at a hand written poster, that was hanging on the wall. and ask me if
i knew what it said. i looked and said no.well he gave me this strange look and said its bad! its real bad! i didn't care it was early and i felt like
# so i let it go. well time goes by and samir starts acting strange he would sit outside and star into space like something was on his mind. so much
so i ask him one day if he was ok? it was weird.
then he would tell me tomorrow so and so, was going to call and if they ask ,so and so i was
to say yes or no depending on the name real weird! these calls seemed like they came from the other side of the world static delay etc.(i pictured a
camel and a pay phone on the middle of the dessert) then one day samir said his uncles where going to come by and get some things from the store they
cleaned out all the medical stuff the whole shelf band aids, cold stuff ,alcohol etc.these people were exactly what the stereo- typical terrorist
looks like long beard weathered face the whole shabang. there were three of them, one was the leader, i could tell by the way the other two catered to
him. i was standing behind the register and the leader was trying to go past me well i didn't move out of the way fast enough when i looked at this
dude he had eyes that said do you know who i am i demand respect(a look like a general or military person would have the look that said i have killed
you will respect me ) i moved again strange, then samir says he is leaving for and im gonna run the store while hes gone. what ever cool with me. so
he leaves and starts calling from new jersey asking if who ever called, then from California, then back to NJ real weird. he comes back some time in
late Aug and tells me he sold the store and is leaving and was selling his car!( which he loved never seen someone love a Nissan sentra so much, he
also sold all his stuff and broke up with his girl ) and, when i say selling the store,i mean everything he sold the lease which he hadn't been
paying, sold the displays and coolers that coke and Pepsi owned and sold me too and get this he made the new owners pay in cash something like 40
grand the were pissed i got fired crazy.huh it was all strange before 911 then it made a lot of since after 911. they are here among us!
