airplane 6

Nathan was breathing normally, but was extremely panicked. He was banging franticly on the ceiling trying desperately to get his mother’s mask down. In a muffled voice Phoenix said, “Heelp me mot heer to my seft.” He nodded and helped move her to the window seat. Phoenix put her mask over the woman’s face and hit the ceiling to replace her own. After she was situated, she sat still and began to think. The plane was in chaos. People were yelling and screaming, but were like dogs on short leashes with their masks. Nathan was shaking with tears as his mother lay awkwardly in her chair, unmoving. What she was planning on doing, she needed Nathan to help her with, but he couldn’t in the state he was in. Phoenix looked behind her in the aisle. The flight attendants were franticly trying to secure the galley. There were things flying everywhere, trash bag, blankets, coffee, apple juice, ice matches, champaign, sandwiches.
