[ WP ] The person sitting next to you on a plane leans over and says , `` Do n't ask me how I know this , but this plane is going to crash before it reaches Newark . ''

`` Do n't ask me how I know this, but this plane is going to crash before it reaches Newark.'' He looked at me, he seemed to be totally serious about this. I felt fear creeping up inside me, putting its icy cold, skinny and long fingers around me, grabbing me tight and threatening to suffocate me. I felt as if gravity got turned off, nothing underneath me to prevent the fall. But then, it stopped suddenly. `` I know you told me not to ask you but... how *do* you know?'' Now it was his turn to look at me in confusion, just for a brief moment. I could n't help smiling at him, enjoying my victory. But his look of confusion faded and was replaced by annoyance. `` I am serious. This plane is going to crash. You wo n't reach Newark.'' I shrugged, looking at the screen again. I knew he was playing a trick on me. But no, not with me, not even on the day of all pranks. April first. `` Newark was n't ever my destination anyway.'' He sighed. I did n't bother to look at him. He was way younger than me, still a kid. Kind of. `` God dammit!'' I looked up as he shouted it furiously. `` Calm down, you know what day it is, I know it. Stop fooling around, kid.'' He looked at me. Anger burned in his eyes. `` Why do you not believe me? I wanted to *warn* you.'' The sincerety in his voice took me by surprise. Fuck. Maybe this was n't a joke after all. `` Because this plane was never meant to reach Newark. We already passed it I think.'' I tried to sound cool. He looked at me, I could see the realization on his face. Then he seemed anxious. He grabbed his bag and digged out the ticket. `` Wrong plane....'', he only whispered those words but I could hear them clearly. I felt once again as if gravity was turned off.
