Chapter 14
The pilots lead us slowly into the plane. I can’t shake the uneasy feeling in my stomach. I have every right to not trust planes right now. And it seems I’m not the only one. Isla is in hysterics about having to get on another plane. I wish I could comfort her, but I just can’t. Right now, all I can focus on is myself. It feels so surreal, the fact that we’ve been saved. I almost feel like I’m dreaming, or having a wild hallucination. I ease myself into a seat. This plane seems a lot higher tech than the one from two weeks ago, which pathetically, gives me a small amount of reassurance. As I sink into the plush seat, I feel an overwhelming sense of exhaustion overcome me. I didn’t even notice it was there, too occupied looking out for everyone else. For the first time in what feels like forever, a smile creeps across my face as I close my eyes, slowly drifting into unconscious bliss. I’m going home.It’s a dreamless a sleep. As if my brain is overworked, it can’t cope having to do anything else. My eyelids feel heavy, like no matter how hard I try I couldn’t persuade them upwards. Is this death? No… don’t be silly. But it feels an awful lot like it. I can’t feel my fingertips or my toes. Or anything in between. All I can feel is the weight of the world forcing my eyes to stare into blackness.
My soul is rejoicing.
I can finally rest.
