DEPRESSION
Long haul. Emirates. Food bad. Entertainment tedious. Bored beyond belief - I wifi the news.
DESPOND
Nothing good going on anywhere in the damned world.
DECLAIM
One story catches my eye properly. FLIGHT MISSING OVER INDIAN OCEAN. Another one? How many is this now? Holy crap – it’s an Emirates flight! Just vanished. And only today. Then I see the flight number. It’s this flight.
DERIDE
I see the cockpit is empty. I turn and see the cabin is empty.
The clouds pass far beneath.
