Fly!


     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.

  5. That'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!

    1. silverleaf, 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! ♥

  6. As I have an aversion to flying, this grabbed me right away. Your nuance, Kathy, is better than good!

  7. I'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?

  15. That's going to be a fun flight. The speed of movement in the last sentence (death grip to vomit bag) is so well portrayed.

  17. God! 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. :|

  20. Funny how flying, as common as it is today, is still one of those ubiquitous "first time" subjects. I used it for mine too!
