[ WP ] `` We 're only an hour away '' Two families , using the same phrase , two different meanings

Mike was driving on the way to Disneyworld. The kids sitting in the backseat were sleeping and had been for quite some time now. His wife, Jane, was reading a travel book next to him. He saw a sign as they approached an overpass. **Disneyworld 40 miles**. Mike smiled and reached into the back seat of his vehicle to shake his son and daughter awake. `` Kids, we're only an hour away!'' 
 
 *In a war torn village of Africa a man sits bound to a chair with his family similarly restrained around him. The men who took them from their safari were outside talking. He was able to translate pieces of it he had learned to prepare for the trip abroad. `` They say we're only an hour away from being sacraficed. `` * 
 
 Mike sees Disneyland and pulls into the park as his kids are screaming with joy. They all unbuckle and hop out of the vehicle. His daughter, Amy, runs over to hug him and then grabs her brother as they run out in front towards the gate. `` Kids, come back here!'' Mike yells as his kids begin to slink back to him barely able to restrain their desire to ride the attractions. 
 
 *James hear a rhythmic beating and he wonders if this is his heart beating harder as it tries to fulfill a lifetime of beats in the hour remaining. It gets louder and louder and his son asks what the sound is. Now James realizes that it is a helicopter and they are probably going to move them to some new hell hole or maybe drop them out of it. Gunfire starts all at once and wood of the hut starts showering his family and he cowers along with his family. * 
 
 Just as his kids reach him and his wife Mike sees the shuttle bus that is clearly out of control hurtle at him and his family. **Bam** He felt such sorrow as he was smacked by the bus and realizes his kids could have survived if he had just let them run out ahead of him to the paradise that they had been hoping to reach for the last week. 
 
 **Bam** *James was sobbing and shaking as the man kicked down the door and he was expecting a bullet to the head. When the execution shot never arrived he looked up and realized this was a white man and he was wearing an United States military uniform. He let out a sigh of relief and great joy filled him at the thought that his whole family was going to get out of this alive. *
