Chapter one: Fading from the dark.
[
wednesday]
Andrew found himself sitting half cramped in the small aeroplane, finding it hard to breath normaly. He hated flying, but he needed this new job, so he had no choice. He had no intrest in the people sitting next to him, so he didnt bother to chat or make a small conversation. All he wanted to do was just get his feet back on the ground as soon as possible. Giving a sigh, he unbuckled himself, stood up and walked the the small bathroom. Nothing was worse than sitting all day in a cramped smelly chair.

As he was walking, he looked at the tiny screen in the front of the plane, another worthless box office bomb. All he could think about was the hours left. The seemingly endless hours ahead of him, stuck on this tiny vessel with no other interesting life form to keep him entertained. Reaching the bathroom he realized the line.
"Can't get away from them." He muttered to himself.

Taking up a place behind some overweight man, who was the size of a baby killer whale, he couldnt help but wonder wether this guy had reserved a whole row of seats for himself, because he really felt sorry for whoever had to try and sit next to him.
'I wonder if they would notice if I quietly snuck into first class to use those toilets?' he pondered, 'yep knowing my luck they probably would, and then i'd get stuck having to listen to some ditzy stewardess go on and on about how important it is to keep the toilets in first class clear for the passengers in that section.'
' I wonder what they would do if i slipped some laxitives in the food, then we'll se how they keep the toilets clear.' he snickered to himself.
he shook his head to clear it and counted how many people were in the que, 'five of the buggers, and I'll wager my car that the whale will take over ten minutes.' He though glumly.

The whale turns and looks at him as though he heard him. Andrew knows this is impossible, because he had not spoken a single word out loud. Yet the whales dark piercing eyes continue to stare at him. He becomes very uncomfortable and wants to yell out, "What you staring at bug-eyes.". But he does not dare, because the whale out weights him by at least one hundred pounds.
Suddenly and very unexpectedly, the whale smiles at him, revealing the funkiest, yellow tartar filled teeth Andrew has ever seen in his life. He looks down at the outstretched hand with thick fingers ending in pale yellow unkept nails. Shaking his head Andrew politely declines, "No thank you."
No sooner were the words out of his mouth, when the bathroom door opens, and out stepped one of the most beautiful women Andrew has ever seen.

Watching her make her way past the whale and back to her seat, he notices everything about her. She had beautiful brown eyes and blonde hair and the most amazing smile he had ever seen. As she approached her seat, Andrew also noticed her traveling companion, a talk dark and handsome man that kissed her as she sat down.
Andrew began to shake. At first he thought it was because of the feeling this stranger had given him but then he realized, it was the whole plane.

As Andrew shook his head from the trance the beautiful woman must have put him in he realized that the pilot was making an announcement, "Please return to your seat and fasten your seat belts, we are now passing though an electrical storm" Still greatly in need to use the bathroom he hurried back to his seat and did as the pilot told all the passengers making sure the seat belt was extra tight.

With hurried stepps, a stewardess came running past almost bumping into a chair as the plain shook uncontrollably
. Just as she came half back on her feet, the plane made a stomach turning launch downward. Someone in the back seats gave out a cry, and Andrew felt his breakfast pushing up his throat. A crazy thought came to his head - maybe the whale should have been seated next to him, so if they did crash, atleast he could use the whale for a kind of protection. The thought vanished just as fast when all the lights went out.

"Please...remain...calm" came a staticy voice over the speakers.
"Yea, remain calm when everyone's about to die. At least if we're stuck somewhere we can eat the whale!" Andrew thought to himself in an attempt to not panic. He began to observe everyone else's reaction to the plummeting plane and caught glimpse of the woman again. She was clutching her companion's arm and looked to be on the verge of crying. The man kissed her forehead and whispered something to her. She managed a smile. Andrew wanted to puke again.

'damn it, where is my barf bag?' he though to himself while searching under his seat.
'I hope they are passing out "you will survive this." tickets, cause i really want one.' he chuckled to himself, amazed that he could still think coherently with his stomach in his throat.
he quickly put on his seat belt, and for some stange reason he looked accross at the woman that had caught his attention just to make sure that she put hers on.
After confirming that she had buckled herself in, he closed his eyes and promised whomever was listening that if they did not crash he was going to have a long talk with the captain about the free rollercoaster ride that they forgot to mention while selling the plane tickets.
He took a deep calming breath and started to relax his body, after he heard the superstructure of the plane give and weird groan.

The plane rattled and shook like hell, making it a confusing tumple in side it. For a moment Andrew's eye caught a glimpse through his side window, and for the first time he realised they were in a storm. Lightning flashed like mad outside, dancing between the clouds.
"This is mad, we're gonna crash!" he wispered. Without thinking, he undid his seatbelt and stood up. The stewardess sitting at the end of the room shouted at him to sit down, but he bearly heard her. Adrenaline rushed through his veins as he made his way over to the woman he was watching earlier.
"The plane is going to crash! We need to do something- " was all he could get out as the tail of the plane broke off, taking the two back row seats with it. Without thinking he grabbed the woman by the arm, pulled her from her seat and started running to the first class section. She didnt resist, but urged him on to running faster. Running through business class, then first class, they could hear more of the plane being broken off and people sucked out into the stormy night. Reacing the doors of the cockpit, they banged their fists agains them. The one door opened so suddenly that it hit Andrew straight in the face. As the world around him darkened, he tried to not let go of the woman's hand in his...
