There I was, I looked though the glaring glass pane, my eyes filling with awe. The avid sun beating down on the scorched Tarmac before me , worn markings stretched for miles encased in the remnants of worn tires.I sat there, listening, the whines of engines filling my ears.

I loved it up here, away from the rest of the world, just the air ,me ,and the plane. I felt a subtle whirlwind of freedom. It made me feel different.

I acquiesced, resting my head against the soft foam of the seat ,lulling myself into a gentle slumber.
