Flights OF Fantasy!!

SCENE 3


BLACK-BURIED!!!

As i sat back in the flight reviewing one of my research papers on "Blood flow through Cerebral Arteries", I could almost feel an abundance of Blood in my cerebral system. I had'nt slept for almost 48 hrs, it was beginning to take its toll on me. I thought I should probably catch a nap. I have been one of the elite few, who has had the pleasure of napping at a runway in an Airbus A 320 for over two hrs.The flight that taxied away from the gate, had to halt again at the runway for a repeated thunder shower warning at Chicago.
I have driven to Chicago twice before and never have I expressed as my awe, as I did towards the Wind City. But my perspective towards the city was entirely different on that particular occasion from the runway.
I figured , I had to reschedule on my connecting flight. I looked into my itinerary that read "contact us at 1800-UNITED-1". That number would actually turn out to be drastically different when dialed from a Black Berry Pearl. (Take a look at the Key pad). Well it turns out that the Wind City was not the only entity on my HATE list.Luckily my boarding pass carried an advertisement of a mobile network. I managed to decipher the number from a picture of a phone on the advertisement. That was the best the Airliner had to offer me that night. I called the reservation help line, I was pretty sure I was pretty sure I had called my Mother Land. My request for a reschedule was processed, I was put onto the next available flight from the Wind City, at 6.00 AM to San Jose, with a connection at LA. While I did all of this, I still was at the runway. I was still in Cleveland!
