[ 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 . ''

My mouth was agape. Was I sitting next to a terrorist? 
 
 `` You're joking right? That's not exactly a good prank to pull... You could be arrested...'' 
 
 `` But I'm not joking. It's going to happen. When the Captain tells us we have an hour left of our flight, we're going down. I do n't know why.'' 
 
 I stared in utter disgust and shock at the man sitting next to me. How could he tell me this right now? 
 `` Have you told anybody?'' 
 
 `` And get accused of terrorism? Hell no.'' 
 
 I unbuckled my seat belt and grabbed my purse, standing up and squirming into the aisle. A flight attendant rushed towards me. 
 
 *'' Please prepare for take off. `` * 
 
 Oh god, was I too late? My eyes widened in horror, and the flight attendant ushered me back in to my seat. 
 `` But I want to get off the plane!'' 
 
 `` I'm sorry ma'am, but we're taking off now! There's not much I can do for you.'' She gave me a sympathetic smile. 
 
 I gripped the arm rests firmly, my heart racing. The man patted me on the back. *'' Do n't touch me, dammit! `` * I snapped back. 
 
 I was heading to Houston to go visit my family. To go see my daughters and sons and celebrate the birth of my new grandbaby. I was supposed to meet my husband there since he had been in Denver on a business trip. I pulled out my phone and sent every single one of them a message reading **'' I love you with ALL of my heart! < 3'' ** 
 
 Tears rolled down my face as we grew closer and closer to where everything was supposed to happen. I bought a small vile of vodka from the cart when the attendant came by, and downed the whole damn thing when we hit some turbulence. 
 
 The man next to me leaned over, `` That was n't it. But it's coming.'' 
 
 Then, minutes later the Captain gave the announcement. I clutched my seat firmly, tears pouring out my eyes. 
 
 `` Here we go.'' The man said, a little too cheerfully. 
 
 I let out a sob as there was a little hitch in the plane, and then beeping. 
 
 *There was screaming. * 
 
 *I closed my eyes. * 
 
 *I could n't breathe. * 
 
 *The plane was falling. * 
 
 *The Captain was on the intercom saying how sorry he was. * 
 
 *There was a fire on the wing. The engine had given out. * 
 
 *Screaming. * 
 
 *Crying. * 
 
 *Darkness. *
