Forgotten Last Words

Well, I suppose this is it. I did not sleep well last night; in fact, I should be sleeping even now. It’s a funny thing really. I have done so many flights and yet this one is so different from all the rest. The distance is not what disturbed my sleep. It wasn’t even that this is to be my final expedition. My fondness for the skies jades me to fear of the flight, and my weariness makes me long for an end to this era in my life. Perhaps one day I will miss it, but hopefully when that day comes, I am a wretched old woman who misses everything.
