"Excuse me!" I yell as I run toward the door of which I need to enter through to get on the plane.

"Sorry!" I yell as I kick a coffee over earning some inappropriate words from a middle aged man.

As I approach the door I lug the heavy grey suitcase behind me.

I come in contact with a closed door meaning that I have missed my flight.

"No!" I yell banging on the closed door.

"Dammit!"

I reach for my phone that is in my back right pocket, that will not turn on due to its now dead battery.

I grouchily walk to the front desk,then getting greeted by an elderly women with bright pink lipstick on her yellow teeth.

"I need a new ticket to Oxford, England."

"Well the next flight that is not booked is in 24 hours so we can get you onto that one." She says showing no emotion in her voice.

"24 hours!" I say earning a few looks from strangers.

"Don't miss your flight next time."

I book the ticket then look for a seat that I can spend 24 hours in.

I notice a wall seat next to a man that happened to have a phone socket right next to it.

I come to the conclusion that he probably will be catching his flight soon so I decide to take up the black leather seat.

Then I take a seat next to the man and plug my phone in.

Let these 24 hours begin.
