__ Short Story __

My fingers gripped on to the blue airplane seat as a tear of sweat dripped down my forehead. Turning my head to look out the drizzling window, I stared at the rain pouring down onto the hard ground. I hope the weather doesn’t affect the plane flying I thought nervously to myself. Waiting in my seat, a tall old hunchback man wearing knee high shorts and a bright orange T-shirt walked over and sat in the seat to my left. “Hello I'm George” the man introduced himself. “I’m Amy” I replied nervously. He placed his brown leather bag under the seat in front of him and put his seat belt on. I smiled and continued to stare out the window. Then I heard the pilots voice on the intercom “Welcome to flight 15 from Auckland to Los Angeles, we will be taking off in the next two minutes.” Flashing in front of me I saw the seat belt sign telling me to get buckled up, reaching over stretching the belt over my lap and clipping it in it’s slot. A short time later the engines started to rumble as the plane began to move to the run way. Looking out the window as the aircraft made it’s way to take off I could see the rain pounding on the wing and dripping down the window. Taxiing, the plane did a right turn and sped up. It began racing up the run way, I could feel the G-force pushing me back into my seat as we lifted off into the air. Clinging on to the seat, I closed my eyes and waited until it was over. Finally we got up to cruising altitude and we were heading to our destination. The seat belt sign turned off and we were allowed to get out of our seats. Out the window you could just see the rain crashing down and a grey mist all around. Turning the mini TV screen on in front, I had a look at the tail cam. It seamed very unstable as it swayed in the wind. After a while I got a bit bored and worried so I switched to a movie. Watching air crash investigation on the TV monitor did not help the nerves. I turned it off and tried to get comfortable in my seat. Adjusting the head rest and the angle of the seat, I rested my head on my pillow and tried to get to sleep and dream my worries away. Suddenly I was awoken by violent jolt from the plane. I must have been sleeping for a while as all the lights were lowered and all I could see out my window was a dark sky. Flying through the dark sky, I could feel the plane shaking and swaying in the wind. The rumbling from the engines got louder and I was feeling more afraid. Twisting and turning the turbulence was getting worse, it was like the plane was playing dodge ball. What if the plane couldn’t survive the weather? Or The pilot loss control of the controls? I worried to myself. 30 minutes passed and the had weather had finally calmed down which meant the plane had stopped shaking as much. The sky had brightened up and most people were awake. I choose to get my book out and try and pass time. Reading my book I felt the plane suddenly jolt. I thought the weather had cleared up, I thought confused. The rain started to again crash against the walls of the plane. We were flying all over the place. Putting my book away in my bag, I glanced out the window. All I could see was rain pouring down and smashing down on the top of the wing. There was so much turbulence that it felt like we were falling out of the sky. Rushing to put my seat belt on I screamed as the plane tipped slightly to it’s side. It was my worse nightmare. Swishing through the air, I felt so afraid that we were going to crash, but the people around me didn’t seem to care. Terrified in my seat and tried to calm down. Each minute slowly ticked by. It felt like forever. Staring out the window I hoped that the weather would soon calm down. Feeling afraid and worried in my seat. I heard a woman on the speaker. Listening for the announcement, I thought it would be something about the weather. Talking on the speaker the lay called out “Could Amy Adams please come to the stewardess galley to start her shift.” Uh no I thought, another rainy day work shift. Quickly getting out of my seat, I took my small leather handbag by it’s handle and sprinted down the aisle heading for the galley hoping I wasn’t to late.

He placed his brown leather bag under the seat in front of him and put his seat belt on. “So where you heading” Brian asked “Melbourne to see my grandma” “Thats nice I’m off to see my daughter” I smiled and continued to stare out the window. Then I heard the pilots voice on the intercom “Welcome to flight 607 Auckland to Melbourne, we will be taking off in the next 2 minutes.”

Flashing in front of me I saw the seat belt sign telling me to get buckled up, so I reached over and stretch the belt over my lap and clipped it in it’s slot.

A short time later the engines started to rumble as the plane began to move to the run way. Looking out the window as the aircraft made it’s way to take off I could see the rain pounding of the wing and dripping down the window. After taxiing the plane did a right turn and speeded up. Racing along the run way, I could feel the G-force pressing on my face as we lifted off into the air. Clinging on to the seat, I closed my eyes and waited until it was over.

Finally we got up to cruising height and we were heading to Australia our destination. The seat belt sign turned off and we were allowed to get out of our seats. Out the window it looked like we were in the clouds you couldn’t see anything except a grey mist.

“Looks like a misty day” Brian commented “Yeah hope it’s okay for flying” I worried At that moment we heard a bang and a crashing noise. “Wow what was that” I screamed “Probably lunch”

The air hostess came into our cabin with a big cabinet type thing on wheels. She pulled out a tray and handed to the passages in front. She got to me and asked if I want lunch “Yes, please” I replied curiously still wondering what the noise was.

Suddenly horrible thoughts went through my head. What if it was the engines failing or the pilot collapsing or, then I thought it probably is nothing and calmed down. Eating my lunch I felt the plane shaking and swaying in the wind. I noticed the wing through the glass it didn’t look very stable and as if it was going to fall off as liters of water crashed down.

It was a very stormy day. I hope it doesn’t effect the plane I thought nervously to myself. Gazing out the window, I heard the pilots voice come on the intercom “Welcome to flight 697 Auckland to Melbourne, we will be taking off in the next 2 minutes.”

A short time later the engines started to rumble as the plane began to move to the run way. Looking out the window as the aircraft made it’s way to take off I could hear the rain ponding of the ceiling and dripping down the window. After taxiing the plane did a right turn and speeded up. Racing along the ground, I could feel the G-force pressing on my face as we lifted off into the air. My face went pale and began to feel sick.
