Read this with the chorus of Cat Stevens' 'Games People Play' in back of mind:
Listening to a woman on the radio talk about lost negatives of some very important photographs this morning. They were all 'incinerated' in the 2001 World Trade Center (sic) disaster. "The Safe was strangely intact but the photographs were all ash. They made an appointment for me to go and see them"...
One of the stories we tell ourselves. One we, in fact, solicit to tell to our listeners. An audience. Strange that the safe was intact yet the contents were ash. The journalist (sic) asked no exploratory questions...
Open ended, for me, we were left with this ladies account of her own material losses. Another '9/11 tale'.
Ideas about investigating the WTC vaults occur... I decide it is enough to do this. I also note the interest of the word 'vault' and make a note to re-consider at a later date. There were vaults.
