Spoke to True Pisces. Extremely shaken, but OK. I don’t think Maeglin works that far downtown. I know his last job wasn’t. ---

Okay, so I’m not a NYC doper, but I do work there, and yes, I’m alive. I’ve been trying to get in touch with **Maeglin** to no avail. I’ve got two land lines and two cell phones here and I can’t get out on any of them right now. I don’t know how many people have seen it, but it looks like a damned warzone out here. Unholy mother of fuck. **Rasa** , thanks for posting the word. **Nymysys** , don’t worry, I should be just fine. So, if I can’t get out of here tonight, I think I’m going to find myself a nice little alley and a cardboard box to sleep in. ---

Good news. My sister-in-law works on the 34th floor of the WTC. She is just fine. I don’t know whether she was her office or not when the planes hit, but her commute takes her from NJ directly into the WTC. She is in Manhattan now, so she was probably in the building, or at least in the station below. Anyway, gives me hope for all the others. Like I said in the other thread, please email me at [elizabethgeller@home.com](mailto:elizabethgeller@home.com) if you want me to call your relatives (anywhere). ---

No word on Sua yet. I’ve tried to reach him but can’t get through–no surprise, since I’m in the DC area. Bill’s gonna try his home # later. He’s probably walking to Brooklyn right now.
