JORDAN
THE FLOOR FALLING out from under me, while highly unlikely but fully
possible, would cause me to plummet thousands of feet to my death before I
even knew what happened. This scenario has been threatening to play over
and over in my head for the past six hours, though I have been fighting to
keep it at bay.
Flying has never been a fear of mine. Typically, I lose myself in a good
show or nap from takeoff to landing. I don’t know if I’m developing a sense
of paranoia, if the stress of everything that has happened over the last month
is getting the best of me, or both. Either way, sleep has failed to overtake me
as I continue to subconsciously imagine all of the different ways that this
flight may ultimately lead to my death.
I continue to pray to a god that I’m not even sure I believe in, though I’ve
been asking a lot of Him (or Her) lately. Surely I’m getting close to the limit
of requests one can make in a lifetime.
With a dull ding, the overhead signal for seat belts comes on, prompting
me to slowly open my eyes. I’m running on fumes, and while I would love to
have my feet on solid ground again, I’m not sure when I’ll be able to sleep
next after we land. The pilot comes over the radio, telling us we have about
twenty minutes until we’ll be landing. After reminding us that our seats need
to be up and trays put away, he announces the weather in Honduras—
“eighty-five, sunny and beautiful,” though the idea of why I’m on my way to
this country is anything but enjoyable.
Sitting up in my minimally padded seat, I stretch my arms over my head
and pull my hood down. A flight attendant comes around to collect any trash,
and the man sitting next to me throws away his seventh empty beer of this
flight. He’s clearly buzzed— but hey, who can blame him. Some things, such
as traveling and gambling, are much more enjoyable when you’re less than
sober.
