At first everyone was wary of Cindy of course. However they soon became used to having her around. Her friendly nature and polite behavior soon won them over and she became an accepted member of our community. Vicki was fast becoming a legend among the fighting men and women of our group, and I had to firmly quash the efforts of several who wanted to follow...
The flight from LA to Chicago took a little over four hours so Erin was going to be bored with nothing to do. It was a night flight and most people slept on those types of flights. She couldn't sleep on planes but her husband James had no problem sleeping anywhere or at any time. As she stood in line to board men were staring at her as they passed those that...
Jacob's POV On the road to Jenkins' Safe House Jacob did his best not to groan too loudly inside the SUV as a Jenkins wolf maneuvered the broken parts of his arm back together. Once that was done, an improvised support made from the back of one of the seats was wrapped around the break and secured with some rope they'd found in the emergency bag under the...
Eric settled into his seat at the back of the plane. After being bumped, he and Tess were finally on their way home. The red eye flight was mostly empty. It wasn't the four o'clock flight liked they had planned, but at least it was a flight. He looked at Tess and smiled. It had been an interesting week. Eric chuckled has he thought about the look on Max's fa...
It's dark outside the plane window, wingtip lights flashing over clusters of town and city lights, little human constellations slipping by beneath us as we fly. The cabin lights are dim and you're in the window seat beside me. You're looking out the window, but I'm looking at you, thinking things I shouldn't be thinking. It's been a long holiday staying with...
The old Hong Kong airport was its usual disaster—crowded, smelly and noisy. I was first to board the giant 747 when the announcement finally came. I turned left into the first class section and found my window seat on the right side of the cabin. The stewardess took my coat and offered me the choice of champagne, white wine or orange juice. I passed and quic...
author's note: This is not meant to antagonize anyone or in offense. This is my memory of where I was, what I was doing, and how it happened for me. It is a re-telling, nothing more and nothing less. I realize that this would perhaps be more appropriate closer to Sept 11, but it's hard to judge exactly when each submission will come out. And so I'm submitt...
Chapter 6 "This is the captain," the voice coming over the intercom seemed stressed "ladies and gentlemen we are about to arrive at the gate, when we do I would ask that you all remain in your seats, there seems to be an electrical issue and we will need to reset the system. When we do this it will black out the cabin for approximately one minute. There is...
(Inspired by "Ravaging A New Host" by Little White Mouse) By The Preve Thanks to Emerald Mbuku for the edit. Emma Burgess watched the plane sink into the azure blue waters of the lagoon. Bad luck all around. "We are fucked," she said to Doug. "And the week started off so well." Actually the week hadn't started off well. Emma didn't really want to come t...
Chapter 1 -- Flight 2298 International Flight 2298 already was an hour late to its destination in Frankfurt when the aircraft was rocked by a nasty band of turbulence. The plane dropped into a wind shear, shuddered upwards, and then dropped again. The pilot, who already had ordered all passengers to return to their seats, ominously ordered the fight attenda...
