A New Sound
A baby’s cry pierced through the steady hum of the engines, bouncing off the cabin walls. Sarah flinched at the sharp sound, and she wasn’t alone—heads turned, passengers glancing around to locate the source of the commotion. As the usual shuffling and murmured conversations resumed, a subtle tension settled over the cabin, annoyance hanging in the air like the pressurized atmosphere. Sarah tried to block out the wails, but the relentless cries only compounded the already frazzled mood.

Frustrated, Sarah shifted uncomfortably, trying to escape the cascade of hair now brushing against her, an uninvited intrusion with no clear escape. “Seriously?” she muttered under her breath, shaking her head at the relentless reach of the unruly strands. The stretch felt so careless, another thoughtless act adding to her growing list of grievances on this turbulent flight.
