I´m writing this one year later after I moved to California because I couldn’t bare the feeling of staying in Boston, with all the memories and thoughts of that day. That horrible day, the day my life turned upside down.

I was so much in shock, I could not even comprehend the moment. I had to think of all the lives that were taken because of the delivery that I made.

I woke up in the hospital one week later. They told me I was the only survivor of the “accident”, well, at least that’s how they called it.

After we buried it everyone was still very nervous, but we didn’t have much time to feel anything  because seconds later everything went black. I couldn’t hear anything or see anything.

Ten people came to help, and thankfully there was a girl who knew how to deactivate a bomb . We were all very scared not knowing if it would actually work. Five minutes later the girl that was deactivating the bomb said that it was ready but it would be better if we buried it. And that’s exactly what we did.

As soon as I was in front door of the apartment I rang the bell, but no one answered. So I decided to leave the package in the hallway. As I was leaving I heard a “peep peep” sound. Then I opened the box and saw a big bomb inside. I panicked and screamed for help immediately.

It was just another Monday, another day doing my miserable work. The thing that I didn’t know was that it would be the day that would change my life completely. I worked as a delivery guy in FedEX and that Monday I had to deliver a package at some place I didn’t know existed.
