The Waterfall of Wolves

August 6th, 2021

The airport had a massive crowd of people

impatiently waiting for their flight. I was one of the

people in the crowd. My 3 hour wait had paid off when I was finally

able to board my plane to Canada. After my luggage got transferred

to the luggage area, I sat on my window seat. When I looked outside,
I could still see a crowd of people waiting for their respective flights. The

plane started moving. As the plane took off, I could feel my body lifting up

in the air.

The wait in the line had made my body fatigued enough to sleep halfway

through my flight. After a while the plane hit a little turbulence which woke

me up. “If this assassination works, we’re going to be rich,” said a man
behind my seat.” “Actually we are supposed to crash this entire plane. Boss

would pay us 100x more money than just killing the pilot,” said another man

behind my seat. A few seconds after overhearing this conversation, I found

out the two were going to crash this entire plane for a bounty. Then one

man got up and went to the cockpit. The next few seconds I heard

gunshots. I do not know what I was thinking but I rushed to the cockpit and

tried to attack the assassin. This was probably the stupidest thing I had ever
done.

The man was twice my size. He threw me across the room. Then the other

man came into the cockpit, gave the big guy a parachute and broke the

windshield. The man pressed a remote and the entire plane was on fire and

started to fall down to the ocean. The two men escaped and I did not know

what to do. I knew I could not save the people in this plane. All these
innocent people will lose their lives. I was not going to let myself die

though. I used my legs and kicked the windshield out. Then I jumped

into the ocean. Few seconds later I was under the water and

swam to the island nearby.
