Part IX The wedding of Kate and David had gone off without a hitch. It had been a quiet affair with only their closest friends. Kate's only attendant had been Stephanie and she had once asked, jokingly, if the bridesmaids' gifts would be mackintoshes? Kate surveyed her closets and her large suitcase and tried to come to terms with the inevitable compromis...
The Airplane Kathryn M. Burke I got to the Philadelphia airport well in time for my night flight to San Francisco. I can't say I'm fond of red-eye flights, but I don't like wasting a whole day just going from one coast to the other. Anyway, I'm young (twenty-four) and healthy, so I can sacrifice a little sleep every now and then. I was flattered that m...

Sid settled into his seat on the flight. It would be a rather short flight, but still, with how seating is, it was long enough. The seats on this plane were close together and he didn't have as much leg room as he would have liked. He was fortunate that he had no crying baby or kicking the seat kind of kid near him. Sid pulled out his cell phone looking at...
Some years ago, I had to travel to Europe on a business trip. Unfortunately, because the trip came suddenly, I had to make do with whatever seat assignment I could get, since the flights to Europe at that time of the year are very full. I was lucky to be able to get a seat in the last row of the plane. As it turned out, it wasn't so bad, because I got the ai...
Call me, Ahab, this is the tale of my embarrassing day at work, a humiliating story in which the lady I've been pining after for quite some time now, a sharp, attractive businesswoman with a flirty side, saw me completely naked. I was never absolutely certain where it was that she worked, but, my crush Ming Zhao's routine involved passing by my workplace, an...
Ron got to the airport late but was glad to see he was not the only one as at least four others were rushing to the check-in counter. The ticket agents must have been in an exceptionally good mood today as they escorted their small group through the airport straight to the waiting plane. The very pleasant fight attendant then showed him to his seat. As he to...
