Our twice-told tale takes readers into the consciousness of nine storytellers, almost all of whom define ourselves as autoethnographers who write about personal experiences.Engaged in a perceived emergency, we are observant of what is going on around us and perhaps less defended and more willing to be vulnerable and open than others. We narrate from different subject positions, in juxtaposed accounts, and through short stories and fragmented accounts. These stories provide not just my description and interpretation of what happened but entry into how others perceive the events, view certain participants, act, compare, and reflect on their lives as a result. The analysis of what happened comes from a collage of frames found among the many voices, rather than being told from and in a traditional authorial voice.
