A child was kicking the back of my seat.
His mother cooed for him to stop.
The plane was filling with winter sun-seekers.
A large woman got on carrying two screaming babies.
My heart popped into my mouth to have a look.
I whiplashed my head around. No empty seats
Squeezing in beside me, she smiled. I smiled back; I was dying inside.
After we took off, she asked me what time we would arrive in Glasgow. I laughed and told her it’s a flight to Tenerife.
She showed me her ticket and smirked.
I kicked the seat in front and screamed.
Bad behaviour on planes! I’ve been there!
Excellent
Great short Ian…except I’d give anything right now to be on a plane somewhere, even if it meant tolerating screaming kids all the way there!
Great fun! Thanks for sharing.
Well done!! đŸ˜€
Great job!
Great story. Clean and snappy . A great ark. Well done.
Cool! Enjoy reading it. Well done!
I like the circular narrative. This is very good.
Great story but I echo Kirstie’s sentiments!
Great work! Keep it up ??
As I was there… Have been screaming together with the author! Gave the mood though so short. Thank You, Ian
I like the fact this story went full circle. Truly comedic.
Great short story. Made me chuckle.
Great, snappy piece with a comedic ending.
Really clever flash fiction
Dope story. Agree with the other comments, snappy with great delivery !
Unique delivery. Impressive.
I love the comic ending , schadenfreude? ?
Amazing!!!
We’ve all been there, looking at some screaming kid, whilst we scream inside!
A very visual short! Well done
I can relate to that Ian – really sums it up!
