Long Flight Blues
As the flight wore on, the hours seemed to stretch into an eternity. Restless passengers shifted in their seats, the endless wait becoming a shared trial. Sarah could feel the rising tide of impatience around her—tired eyes darting to watches and glowing screens in quiet frustration. Occasional bursts of conversation punctuated the silence, each one a small act of resilience against the monotony. She joined the collective symphony of weary sighs, yearning for the journey’s end—and a reprieve from the girl’s ceaseless cascade of hair.

Pilot’s Announcement
The pilot’s cheerful voice crackled over the intercom. “Ladies and gentlemen, just a quick update—we still have a few hours before landing.” A soft wave of groans rippled through the cabin. Sarah shifted in her seat, trying to make herself more comfortable. The thought of being stuck in the air for so much longer was far from appealing. She glanced at her watch, mentally calculating how much patience she would need to summon before finally touching down.
