The American Study of British Entertainment

Chapter One: The Plane Ride

        "Entertainment. A form of illusion to distract people from what is happening around them. Either for better or very rarely, worse. Entertainment is all over the world. But one country alone has dominated the entertainment industry; Britain. Not one American can deny the fact that they have watched a movie, show, read a book, or listened to music that was made by, had a, or had a little help from a british person." Jeff types on his laptop. Jeffery Pines, 22 years old, Is currently wearing a "Michigan Wolverines" baseball hat, unemployed, single, and is taking a plane to Britain to watch their TV.

        Jeff closes his laptop, leans back in his chair, and stares at the ceiling. It is night time above the pacific ocean now. Black is everywhere. The only thing Jeff can truly see. He looks around and sees people all around him sleeping. He decideds to do so to. He puts on his raggedy hoodie and zips it up. He closes his eyes for about twenty seconds and opens them again. He was never really good at sleeping in places other than his actual bed. He decides to look at the ceiling again.

        Many people know, that when you look at something in the dark for a long time without blinking. You can see things. Of course these things are not real, just imaginary figments that your mind wants you to see. It is never truly clear what those dark shadow pictures are. But they can be pretty entertaining to stare at. That is, if your bored or have nothing better to do. Jeff, in this case, was both. He stared at the imaginary black shadows for about five minutes.

        Jeffery pulls out his phone to see what time it is. He squints at the portable machine because the glow stings his eyes. It is 1:30, Saturday Morning. He puts his phone in his hoodie pocket and sighs, relaxing his shoulders and laying his head on the armrest of his seat. He falls asleep two minutes later.
