Flight EK 666 - Part 9



The whole aircraft looked empty. She thought she was hallucinating again. This was just a nightmare. She knew that when she would open her eyes, everything would be normal. She was angry at her brother. If he hadn't shared the story, she wouldn't be dreaming like this. She sat down on her seat. She sighed deeply. As she closed her eyes, she felt something shake on tray opened in front of her. She opened her eyes immediately. A meal container was on the tray with seal that was previously opened.

The meal container shook rapidly. She was curious but scared. Nevertheless, she opened the tray to see what was inside it. She slowly removed the seal. Her heat was beating rapidly. She whispered, "No more surprises, God!"  She gulped. She screamed when she saw what it was. The dish was filled with worms. It was same worms that she has seen in her vomit. They were crawling and trying to get out of the container.

It was dream. She immediately opened her eyes. Everything seemed normal. There was soft whispers around her. She looked around her. An air hostess had arrived next to her seat. Tom looked tensed at her. Other passengers were crowding around her, trying to understand what had happened. "Are you okay?", he asked. "Are you okay, Ma'am?", the air hostess repeated the same question asked by Tom. "Yes, I am fine. It's the dream, again.", Tina said nervously.

Tom laughed hysterically. "Your dream is not real, Tina. You are just paranoid. Why don't you take a sleeping pill? You will rest better.", he said. He raised his hand to press the button to call the flight attendant. She didn't want to sleep again. She was sure that if she slept again,she would see those dreams. "Wait! Stop! I don't want to sleep. I will be fine if we are okay.", she requested nervously.

He nodded and put his hand down. He looked at the small screen on the front which played some movie. She put her hand on her forehead that was resting on armrest of her seat. Her eyes looked at tray. It was closed now. She had assumed that the flight attendant had collected her meal and Tom might have closed it. She was embarrassed with what had happened. She didn't understand why she was dreaming repeatedly.

She looked at the watch. Four hours had already passed. She wondered, "The flight to Dubai is about three and half hours. The plane was supposed to land by now. Why hasn't it landed? There was no announcement too about this issue." She pressed the button to call the air hostess. Tom stared at her with surprise.

The Love Song - Part 3

 The road was quite empty except for few cars passing by. The radio played in the background while she continued driving. "Few more hours.", she whispered hoping she would reach on time. Suddenly the radio stopped playing. She sighed in anger. However she didn't try to fix it instead concentrated on the road. It was strangely getting cold. She switched off the AC and pressed the heater button on. She felt warmer now. But it didn't take long for warm to become hotter. Slowly droplets of perspiration formed on her forehead. She pressed the heater button off and rolled the window down. The car was acting strange. She decided to take the car to service station as soon as she came back from the trip. In midst of journey, the window rolled up unexpectedly. This sent shivers down her spine. She screeched her car to the side of the road and stopped the car. She pressed the lock button to open the door. As she tried to get out, she felt something pull her hand and push her to ...
