Flight EK 666 - Part 15


She remembered the day when she was at her boss' cabin. She worked in small start up as cloud computing analyst. The pay was good but she was looking for challenging project. One fine day, she found one. It had certain conditions. Only one would be selected to work on it and selection was based on their draft. 

She had worked hard. There was cut throat competition. After sleepless nights, her draft was selected. She was on cloud nine when her boss had called out her name. But her happiness was short lived when she was asked to leave for Dubai within one week. She had lot of work to do. She had to finish many formalities and pending work before she left. 


She remembered how she had booked the ticket. All flights were booked except for this flight. She felt lucky for finding this site when she had lost hope. It didn't seem dubious. The website had quite good reviews. But she should have known that she was being trapped. The joy she felt then when she booked the ticket made her feel regretful. She should have not given up. 

"Now it's too late to think about the bygones. You can't change that." Tom spoke , bringing her back to reality. Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought about her mother and brother. She wished she was there with them. She wished she could do something. Out of frustration, she banged her fist on th the seat in front of her.

She winced in pain. Tom pretended to be caring and said sympathetically, "Did that hurt you bad, darling? Don't hurt yourself. You are our newest find." She got up frantically. "What happened? Do you want to go somewhere?", he asked. She stared at him with fear. "You can go nowhere. You can't leave this plane.", he said, smiling .

She didn't listen to him. She rushed to the aisle. But he held her hand. "Where do you think you are going? Didn't I tell you that you have no place to hide?", he said firmly. His eyes turned into small balls of flames and his chiseled face turned into bones without flesh. She released her hand hurriedly out of his grip. She tried to run but her path was blocked by other passengers who had turned into zombies.

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 ...
