Jolt (Inktober day 30)

She wakes up with a jolt, so does the man sitting next to her and maybe everyone in the plane. It is midnight and all she wants to do is to close her eyes and sleep until she arrives at her hometown, but it's kind of hard to sleep while the plane is having massive turbulance.

"All passengers, we are going to have an emergency land--"

She starts to panic. The turbulance is getting worse and she can feel the plane getting lower and lower and suddenly every memory flashes in front of her eyes: all her birthdays, her family's faces and voices, her precious and fun times with her friends, all of her happy moments shared at home, all the laughters and all the dreams she has not fulfilled yet.

She hears everyone screaming and chanting prayers and her heart is a drum thumping non-stop. Everything starts to hurt, her body feels like burning and she couldn't breathe. She couldn't feel her hands or her feets and she couldn't even hear people's screams anymore.

'This is it, this is how I'll die. I'm scared.'

'What is next? Do I even deserve a heaven?'

'Why? Why me? Aren't I too young to die? What about my dreams and the future I have planned? I want to achieve more. Please.'

'I still want to stay. God, let me stay."

'Will people remember me? Have I done enough? Have I made my mark?'

'Will people forgive me?'

'I'm sorry.'

'Mom, dad, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. This will hurt you guys so much. I'm sorry I can't come home.'

-----------

Then everything goes black.
