There is a moment in every film where the protagonist is convinced their life is over. For me, that moment was watching my crush walk out of the gates at work heading for the airport.
It would’ve been clichéd to run after him. To stop him.
My reality was to stand and watch, without a single emotion on my face. A slideshow of accidental touches, smiles, and conversations playing unseen.
If I’d followed him to the airport, it would’ve been stalking. We never had a summer fling. We never had anything. Nothing ever fell between us besides delusion on my part.
So very real…
Honest and moving. “Mid-Flight” is a really well crafted story!
Oh I can relate to this!
Perfect and I agree. Very real,
Poignant. I loved the slide show line—beautifully written.
