She nodded acknowledgement as I took my
seat. Momentarily, the sign flashed. The engines fired. She
tightened her seat belt.
“Oh Jesus!!” she prayed.
Unleashing her death grip on the arm rest, she frantically
grabbed a vomit bag as the airplane ascended.

Of course my dirty mind thought of a different kind of first time. lol
ReplyDeleteJoJo, OMG!! Here I thought I was being obvious that I wasn't getting all porno! LOL Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteLove it. You totally brought it home with that last line.
ReplyDeleteCrystal, I am so pleased you liked it! Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
Deletelol I had to come out of the gutter, nice.
ReplyDeletePat, evidently you weren't the only one in the gutter! LOL Thank you for stopping in and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteOh, that OTHER Mile-High Club!
ReplyDeletekymm, your comment made me laugh...so thank you for that! Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteThat's not far off how I approach flying, even though I've been travelling since I was a kid. Nicely done, you captured the feeling!
ReplyDeletesilverleaf, this is probably exactly how I would be as I have never flown before! I probably would be terrified and praying I didn't puke! LOL Thank you so much for stopping by to read and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteAs I have an aversion to flying, this grabbed me right away. Your nuance, Kathy, is better than good!
ReplyDeleteMartha, I am so pleased you liked it. I have never flown in my life and can only imagine how it would be! Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteI'm not averse to flying. I've done it quite a lot. I believe I sat next to her on a flight from Zurich to Singapore once. Was she a wee, tiny girl?
ReplyDeletetnkerr, oh dear! I envisioned an old lady...like myself! LOL Thank you so much for stopping in and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteOh dear..I'm sure she'll be a better passenger next time, nicely done Kathy :-)
ReplyDeleteUma, if there is a next time. She may be too traumatized to ever attempt it again! Thanks so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteI can imagine the panic and stress she'll definitely experience all throughout the flight.
ReplyDeleteAnne, me too. It is exactly how I would feel. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteGood Lord. Glad I never had such a travelling partner ever. :P
ReplyDeletehabibadanyalbarry, I hear you! Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteOoph I used to have motion sickness esp when trvaelling by public buses! ooph am glad I got over it
ReplyDeleteMina, I used to get sick sitting in the back seat all the time and prefer riding in the front because of it. Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteO dear! I wouldn't know what to do if I were seated next to such a passenger. Good one, Kathy!
ReplyDeleteBeloo, I wouldn't either! I guess I would make damn sure they got their face in that puke bag instead of in my lap! LOL Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteAnd this is why I have a bloody mary before I get onto the plane. lol You definitely made me feel the fear, here. Nice job!!
ReplyDeleteJen, I am thrilled that I was able to accomplish that fear factor for you. Thank you for stopping by to read and make my day with your comments! ♥
DeleteOh gosh, I've sat by this person - not fun! I am a little anxious when I fly, but I do manage to keep it together!
ReplyDeletejannatwrites, Oh my! I bet that was an experience! Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteThat's going to be a fun flight. The speed of movement in the last sentence (death grip to vomit bag) is so well portrayed.
ReplyDeletesarahannhall, I am so pleased you liked it! Thanks so much for stopping by and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteOh god... Well told KAthy, but happy I never had a person like that next to me on those long flights....... :0
ReplyDeleteEli, I am so pleased you liked it! Thanks so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteGod! Sitting besides such a air-sick person can be nightmarish. I remember a co-passenger few seats behind me continued to retch loudly all through the journey. :|
ReplyDeleteShilpa, if someone vomited near me, I would be sure to vomit too!! Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteFirst time fliers can really find it rough.
ReplyDeleteAmrit, that is one thing that has always kept me off of an airplane. But you never know, one day I may have to fly just once! Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteOh I have my fears of flying too! Every time!

Nabanita, my fears have kept me off an airplane my whole life. Someday, maybe, if I ever have somewhere to go! Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
DeleteFunny how flying, as common as it is today, is still one of those ubiquitous "first time" subjects. I used it for mine too!
ReplyDeletemagoo45, there are still those out there that have never done it! Some day maybe! Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
