Flightmare

She glanced, for the first time since this flightmare started, to the man sitting in the aisle seat beside her.

I was so grateful to see my children that day, and even Jake was a sight for sore eyes after the “flightmare” from hell.

The flightmare continues as I elbow my way through chuckleheads in pleated khakis or gamey business suits with phones clipped to their belts, parents who are wrangling several unruly kids hopped up on M&Ms, and reunited couples engaged in serious tonsil hockey.

Flames like flightmare algae hidden within the enclaves of a kaleidoscope illusion, a gateway into the god's secret treasure chest.
