1 I'm flying

My name is Satou, a regular overtime burned out employee of a big corporation. I'm on my way to my flat after a hectic work day. I didn't know that my usual hair falling stressful life is gonna take quite a strange turn Today.

The entire street is chaotic because it was no different from a market street where people are haggling for a better price all the time. The reason I live here is because of the cheap rent and since it is very near to my office.

I entered just like always but the only unusual thing about today was that I got a mail, I meant the physical one, some call it post. I picked it up and didn't bother to read it and just went to my bed and collapsed.

I woke up early at about 5 AM and I realized that the mail was still in my hand. I just opened it out of curiosity and my mind was blown. I realized after a few minutes why I got it.

A while back I went to a client meeting at a high class hotel and after the meeting while he was paying the bill he got a lucky draw coupon. Since he was in a hurry he just threw it my side and said "Try your luck". He just paid the bill and went away. I filled up the form because I got no work for that day after the meeting and I too left the place. It was a couple of weeks back that this incident happened.

And that's how I got a Weekend trip to Hawaii tickets on a private flight with all expenses covered. I was over the moon with such a wonderful opportunity. I calmed down and looked at the content on how to avail this trip and my mind was blown the second time within the hour.

The trip was scheduled for 7 AM TODAY yes today. I just ran to grab some fresh clothes and didn't even bother to comb my hair. I just picked up my phone and wallet and ran to get a cab. I found the cab and told him to drive to airport. While in the cab I read the remaining contents which mentioned that I got a mail regarding this.

I remembered that at that time I gave my secondary mail ID which I don't check often and use for unofficial purpose. I realized again how sad my life is and how my inattentiveness has led me to almost miss a trip to Hawaii. I checked the mail and the content wasn't much different from what was in the physical mail/post.

As soon as I reached I paid the cab driver and didn't even bother to take the change and reached the terminal given. Then after checking my ID and flight tickets I was escorted to a private flight. There were few others who were looking at me as if I'm an wild animal. I didn't say anything cause they looked super rich and influential. It makes sense because the hotel I got the lucky draw was a high end one, hence It was pure luck for me that I got on the same flight as these Rich kids.

I just stayed quiet and didn't look for trouble cause I'm sure of who'll be kicked out if there was any trouble. After getting a brief of what we're gonna do on this trip I boarded the plane after everyone. As I boarded the plane and reached my seat, I was surprised to find a drop dead gorgeous woman in her 20s with black hair which got a slight brownish hue sitting right beside my seat. Tall, slender and decent D/E cup breasts totally my type. But my happiness didn't last long as she looked at me like she was looking at a worm. I just quietly sat beside her and didn't particularly do anything but I still heard a "Tch" sound from beside.

The flight started taking off after 2 mins. I was looking forward to this trip and was thinking I was very lucky to have met that client. I had a drink which was offered as complimentary by the flight staff. After a few mins my stomach started troubling and I went to the toilet. After dumping the load, I felt lighter. As I was about to open the door the flight started shaking. I thought it was turbulence and sat in the toilet to avoid any injuries. After about a min I heard an announcement.

"This is Captain Morgue speaking, The flight's left engine has been damaged and the flight will crash after a few minutes. Please open the hatchet and jump with parachutes as fast as possible. The parachutes are handed by the flight staff near the jumping point" captain cried out through the speaker.

I rushed out of the toilet as soon as i heard the announcement. I saw only about half the people are here rest have already jumped from the door which was opened at the back. The flight attendants were handing out parachutes and the girl who sat beside me was in the last of the jumping queue.

People were jumping at a fast pace and very few were left by the time i reached queue most people were out only a hand full remained with 2 flight attendants. The girl beside gave me a parachute, I was surprised but I took it and started wearing it by seeing the flight attendants who already wore them. It was fairly easy and soon only me and the girl beside me were left among the passengers. The flight attendants beckoned us to jump faster and we did one after the other.

We were one of the last to jump so other people were not near us. Only me and the girl were near the attendants jumped way later. While enjoying the air while falling down, I saw some people opened their parachutes and I thought it might be the time to do that. Hence, I pulled the wire to open the parachute.

And I did it again and again, but the parachute didn't open. In a nervous state I looked at the girl beside me. I cried for help while showing her that my parachute was not opening. There I saw it, she was grinning the whole time.

I thought of a possibility "Did she do this?". Just as I was thinking about it she pulled her parachute and my only hope was gone. Honestly, it doesn't make any sense to kill someone you just met Today. I was left with no choice, no one was nearby to help or know that I was killed. I was left to despair at an altitude of 20,000 feet. I accepted my fate and my death while falling.

I felt like I'm flying, only without wings or in this case parachute.
