Oh wow. It's late. I should get some rest before I figure out how the heck I'm going to get to the Bermuda Triangle in 2020 when I'm in Australia in 1954. No blanket this time, but luckily it is a warmer night. I snuggle beside a tree and close my eyes.
That night my dreams are invaded by memories of the crash. The seconds before impact. The realization that I'm alone. I shudder, then scream.
I want to be anywhere but here.
Anytime but now.
Anyone but me.
Suddenly I can't breathe. My eyes flash open. I'm in the water? No. no. NO.
I'm not here. Anywhere but here. But I am.
I see the swirling water in front of me. This is just a dream. I shut my eyes. But when I open them I'm still here.
I'm swirling closer and closer. I try to swim away but it's no use.
I accept my fate. I'm in the middle, sinking deeper and deeper until,
black.
I'm back on the plane. I don't know how but I am. My copilot beside me, everyone in their seats. I start hyperventilating. How? What? Who? My copilot is shocked.
"Layla? Are you okay? What happened?"
But t-t-he pl-lane... a-and the wa-ter.....
"It's okay. Nothing happened. You just fell asleep at the wheel. Try to be more careful but everything is okay."
Wh-at? No- it's not!
My confusedness is replaced with Anger.
We crashed into the Bermuda Triangle! And you were gone!
"You hit your head when you fell asleep. When we land, you will see a doctor. For now, try to rest."
But! I know what I saw!!!!
"It's okay. Now rest.."
As he said this, he tipped some pills down my throat. I began to feel drowsy, and I before I knew it I was asleep.
