00:00There's a silence that comes after an explosion.
00:03Not peace, but a kind of deafness.
00:07The world stops, and in that stillness, something else waits.
00:12I used to believe that day was behind us, the bombing, the blood, the smoke.
00:17But every time I close my eyes, I'm there again.
00:22Not just in memory, it's like I'm being pulled back piece by piece.
00:27I remember the heat rushing past me, the children's screams, the house splitting open like a ribcage,
00:36and the feeling that we weren't the only ones crawling out of the rubble.
00:42Something unseen followed, something I can't explain, and is still with us.
