Writing Prompt 3-5-10 The Long Airplane Flight

Prompt: A flight attendant learns that one of the passengers has brought a weapon on board.


"Sir, I'm sorry, but you can't sit here at the front of the plane because their are assigned seats, and your seat is on row 12, seat 3. At least you have a window seat", the flight informed the passenger.


The passenger responded, "I will pay any amount of money to keep this seat. My bags are already in the overhead, and I talked to the lady who had this particular seat, and she agreed that it would be fine to switch our seats since I had a window and she didn't".


"Well, I guess that is fine as long as the person who has this seat has agreed. You can stay here, sir. Sorry for the disruption", the flight attendant told the passenger.


Everyone buckled up, and the plane ascended into the beautiful, perfect blue sky soaring like a bird with the greatest amount of freedom one can acquire. The flight was leaving New Orleans heading to Ohio. It would be a longer flight so the passengers pulled out their books, laptops, and ipods, and began to make themselves cozy.


About an hour and a half into the flight, the passenger who had the seat troubles in the beginning started to make his way to the cockpit. The flight attendant saw this, approached the man, and informed him that he couldn't enter the cockpit. He pulled a Glock from his side and shot her, causing havoc to ensue among all the passengers on the plane. Several passengers were wondering what to do in order to secure their flight so that no one else died. Everyone wanted to live, and were willing to go to any extent in order to make this happen.


Still, the man made his way into the cockpit after shooting the flight attendant, and held a glock toward the pilots. Luckily, a law was just passed that pilots couldn't carry guns on the plane, but they could carry tasers. With the gun aimed at the pilots head, the pilot moved ever so slow so that the man thought he was shifty because he was nervous, but that wasn't the case. It was simply what the man wanted the pilot to believe.


The pilot managed to pull out his taser without the man knowing what was happening, and once the man realized it was two late. Bolts of electricity coursed through his body. The man lay on the ground pulsating with electrical shock.


Another passenger saw the whole thing, ran up to the man, took his gun from his hand, and shot him in the head.


The plane and crew were at last safe.
