A Kingdom for A Prince (Part 8)


Chad was begining to fall asleep when we arrived to the private airplane. Claire quickly dragged be out of the car and into the plane, throwing pairs of clothes in after. Chad waved goodbye from the car and shouted. "GOOD LUCK BRO" Before getting smacked and being told to shut up and be quiet from Claire.

I cringed at Chad being smacked but part of me thought he deserved it; his yell would've alerted someone about me and the whole thing would've been screwed. I just waved goodbye back at him before picking up all the clothes that Claire tossed in to fold them in a bundle.

"Maybe this will help?"

I looked up to see an air stewardess smiling down at me and holding a big suitcase at me.

I politely smiled back and looked around the airplane, my eyes stopping at a couch. I carried the pile of clothes over there and sat down, begining to fold each one and placing it in the suitcase

"Maybe you might want to put that aside later and fasten your seatbelt," the air stewardess said. "We're about to take off." So saying, she helped me to move the suitcase and the clothes to one side so it doesn't slide away when the plane is taking off

I fastened my seatbelt and looked at the time and sighed. "Excuse me miss, but how long till we... you know, land?"

The air stewardess smiled and check the time as well, "Hmm, I think it would about roughly 8 hours. Would you like anything to drink while we're up in the air?"

"Umm, maybe some apple juice, and something light to snack on?" I asked tentatively.

"Juice and snack coming right up," the air stewardess replied cheerfully. "You just sit tight and wait for the seatbelt sign to turn off then you can continue packing your clothes." So saying, she went off to prepare my order, leaving me alone to my thoughts

I waited, observing the plane, and everything i could do in it. It looked like a pretty expensive plane. The seatbelt sign turned off and i took off my seatbelt to finish packing, it qas a pain in the ass, but i finished. "Here's you snack sir." I jumped a bit, not noticing her before and  nodded. "Thank you." She smiled and walked away. Now that i had nothing to do, ill just sleep and text mah dude Chad

Yo, Chad, I'm on the plane right now. Looks pretty swanky inside and out. I'll be reaching Northern Ireland within 8 hours. I'm gonna nod off. Text me when you get to my folks, OK?

Pressing the SEND button, I let out a yawn. This whole ordeal is more taxing to me than I thought. I lay on the couch and drifted off into a dreamless sleep...

When I woke up, surprisingly we were just about to land soon. My stomach tangled into a twist, knowing that we would be landing in enemy territory very soon.

My guess was confirmed from the announcement from the captain that they were landing, although the Irish accent kinda threw me off.

"Had a nice flight?" I turned to see the air stewardess smiling at me as I undid my seatbelt.

"Yeah, had a great meal and a good sleep. Thanks for the hospitality."

"My pleasure. Coz this is gonna be the last moment of peace you'll ever have."

"What...?"

I suddenly felt a hard jab on my neck and an overwhelming sense of drowsiness. The last thing before I lost consciousness was the unwavering smile of the air stewardess...

A Wish Come True (A Short Story)

I woke up with a start when I found myself in a very unfamiliar place. The bed I was lying on was grand—an English-quilting blanket and 2 soft pillows with flowery laces. The whole place was fit for a king! Suddenly the door opened and there stood my dream prince: Katsuya Kimura! I gasped in astonishment for he was actually a cartoon character. I did not know that he really exist. “Wake up, dear,” he said and pulled off the blanket and handed it to a woman who looked like the maid. “You will be late for work.” “Work?” I asked. “Yes! Work! Have you forgotten your own comic workhouse, baby dear?” Comic workhouse?! I…I have became a cartoonist? That was my wildest dreams! Being a cartoonist! I undressed and changed into my beige T-shirt and black trousers at once and hurriedly finished my breakfast. Katsuya drove me to the workhouse. My, my, was it big! I’ve never seen a bigger place than this! Katsuya kissed me and said, “See you at four, OK, baby?” I blushed scarlet. I always wan...

To A Beautiful Person

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, he listens. He can live anywhere in the universe, but he chose... your heart. Face it friend, He is crazy about you! God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Choking on Ink

My grandmother told me when she was in high school an old math teacher in his 60’s named Harold Davidson was teaching math and one of his students wouldn’t stop tapping his pen during class.  The teacher went berserk and lost his mind. He snatched the pen and attacked the kid, lodging the pen down the child’s throat while his classmates looked on screaming. While struggling, the kid kicked the teacher in the chest with the little energy he had left. The teacher collapsed and they both died at the same time. When school was back in session and math class began with the new teacher, the class noticed that a weird symbol appeared on the chalk board. The symbol had lines inside of a circle. All the lines within the circle were the common math symbols = + x and division.  If you outline certain parts of the symbol it looks as if a pacman shape has a line going through its mouth or maybe a head getting choked with a pen. The teacher asked who drew it but no one came f...
