Panic reflexes on ...

While closing a bunch of old tasks at work, I noticed a bright flash of light out of the corner of my eye. I paused. Was that lightning? It was quickly followed by a loud, metallic sounding crash that rumbled on and on.

I felt my heart slow down as I peered out my window towards the Post Office and One Financial Center. I wasn't sure what to expect. All I saw was a turbulent sky, mail trucks making their delivery, sea gulls fighting a rising breeze.

My heart begins to speed up. It's official: I no longer think that loud noises are just an act of Nature anymore... Welcome to living under the gun.

Yeah, driving down Storrow Drive the other night, any time a plane would pass behind the Hancock Tower my heart would clench up... even if it was WAY WAY WAY off in the distance... :/
