The Time of Our Lives.

Susan

Susan is on a plane heading towards New York City with Barbra's wedding on her mind. It has been years since she last saw Richard and the kids. Susan was still in shock that she got a wedding invitation to Barbra's wedding to George Lauschfueld. She knew it couldn't be from Richard since the last thing she heard from Richard was,
• "If you know what's right, don't ever come back."
To which she replied,
• "Gladly."

Susan actually never regretted not coming back to New York City. However she always felt this obligation to come and visit New York. She didn't want to run into Richard and the kids so she avoided going back to the United States at any cause. Susan looked out the airplane window and stared all the blue sea that seemed motionless. Susan, now at an older age, seemed worn out and worried about what may happen during the wedding. Her younger years were so filled with vanity and sex that she never stopped to think about Richard and her kids. Sometimes Susan felt like she was never married and had no kids. Susan lived the life of a gypsy, traveling all over the world and leaving little treasures wherever she visited. Now that she is older and coming back she felt like bursting into tears. Susan sees all the wrong decisions she had made in the past. But she's smart to know that now is too late to fix anything. The last place she visited was Santorini, Greece. Susan liked Greece: it was breath-taking but she felt out of place because everything seemed so heavenly and she's the complete opposite of heavenly. She felt like a bare-footed sinner walking through a squeaky clean temple. However the men always treated her like a goddess and she never minded that. Susan looks away from the window and looks around the plane, seeing all the different people. Everybody has their own different stories and different backgrounds. Susan stays still in her seat and for the first time in forever, she thinks about Richard. Oh her memory of Richard was becoming so dull. She remembered Richard as the handsome and charming man that charmed all of Wall Street. Susan really did love Richard but her vanity became her demise: the demise of herself and of her marriage. She also starts to think of her 4 children who she left at such young ages. Susan starts to weep a bit because they're all grown men and grown women with lives of their own. She cries harder and starts to yell maniacally. The stewardesses come to her seat to try to hold her down but as her memory continues, so will her screaming. She kept throwing her arms around as if she was in a boxing match. The blonde stewardess tries her best to hold her still but Susan won't bulge.
Suddenly Susan is out cold and slips down from her seat --------- The blonde stewardess goes over to an Air Marshal, commanding him to carry Susan to the back. Hours later, Susan regains consciousness and sits up. She was on a white table with a blanket covering her and an ice pack over her forehead. Susan removes the ice pack and realizes that her outrage caused her to pass out. This isn't the first time she has these outrages because it started to happen on her last two trips: Santorini and Jerusalem. The pilot calls over the intercom and says, "Folks, we have begun our descent to JFK, where the current weather is sunny with a chance of rain, and we will be in the gate in about 20 minutes. We'd like the flight attendants to prepare the cabin for arrival and we want to thank you for flying with us today."
Disaster awaits Susan behind these terminal gates.
