Mystery

Window Seat
It’s always been tough for me around this time of year. People say the high you feel from true love can be one that's hard to get rid of. That explains why I haven't been able to move on. I would sleep away the day in hopes to see her in my dreams. But my therapist told me excessive sleeping isn't healthy. I remember asking her if it's normal to wish you were dead just to be united with your partner. Her answer was one that I didn't want to hear but ultimately needed to because it was true. She said a life without love is not a life at all. She went on to say the love I lost and keep trying to recapture or relive is evidence that I still have more love to give. A part of me wants to believe her yet I can't help but feel like I would betray Eileen.

Night Angel
Janna reached over and touched the tiny cheek of the infant she held. Once more she wondered how she had come to be in charge of the child. Sammy was only weeks old. A young woman had shoved a backpack in her lap and fled just before the plane doors were locked. At first Janna thought the woman had simply gone to the rest room, so she laid the backpack on the floor and settled into her seat. After take-off Janna realized the woman was missing.

Lucky High Flyer
I settled myself into my seat and began looking around. The flight wasn’t to full, which meant I could potentially get some work done on this flight. I continued to glance around and prayed as hard as I could that there would be one of two things; no babies, a hot guy for me to talk to.

Swamp Gas
Winding through the back roads heading to the address he had been given Jim thought of the many times he had crossed through these parts. Several times he had been looking for a couple of kids out joyriding. Once finding a lost dog reported by the locals was his main objective. Mainly though he remembered the area from when he was a teenager looking for trouble on those hot summer nights that South Carolina is famous for. You could get lost out here easily among the old magnolia and pine trees which seemed to be everywhere. The new housing going up so rapidly throughout the town had not yet pushed its way to this part of the county. An occasional trailer home dotted every half mile or so along the way but overall it was just as it was fifteen years ago when he first passed through. In one spot he saw a couple of kids playing in some brackish looking water along the edge of the road, yet a quiet restlessness seemed to dictate the rest of the surroundings more then anything else.

Cabin Pressure
Heneke had chosen the window seat to keep his mind occupied with the miniature world below. Long streaks of puffy white clouds attempted to hide the vast green pastures, but they soon withered away in the blazing hot sun. He could make out tiny specks moving at breakneck speeds on highways like ants if they ever decided to scurry along straight lines.

Trapped In The Heavens
What a view, what a view, what a view! That is all I could think as the scenery passed slowly beneath me. A mesmerizing view every human being should encounter! The simple yet breathtaking scenery unfolding beneath my feet was nothing short of awe-inspiring. As I gazed out at the vast expanse of nature, I couldn't help but be overcome with a sense of pure wonder and amazement. The sun-kissed colors of fall were delicately speckled across the treetops, creating a stunning mosaic of crimson and gold that seemed to stretch out to the very horizon. And down below, nestled within the depths of the valleys, a thin veil of mist hovered like a gentle shroud, adding an ethereal quality to the already mystical landscape.
