AWAY

This story is inspired by the events that took place in Gander, Newfoundland in the days following 9/11. After the 9/11 attacks, all airplanes that were still flying were ordered to land immediately. Since Gander, Newfoundland has one of the biggest but least used airports in the world, 38 planes landed in the town, nearly doubling the town's population. Thousands of people were now stranded in Gander, having no idea when they would be able to leave. Some of the people were stuck on their planes for over 24 hours.
The events in this story are based on the Broadway musical, "Come From Away." Please note that none of the characters were real people, but the story is completely based on true events.

Planning on writing more short stories to add to this, or making one longer sequel that is from one specific character's perspective (:
