“We’re coming up on a rough patch here,” the co-pilot Bruce Henderson said into the loud speaker. I’d heard it so many times that when he followed it up with, “Skies look clear right now. And will be on the other side.” I almost laughed when I saw Jenny’s face. She went cross-eyed and even hummed what I assumed was the X-Files theme song.

We had a laugh.

It’s what we did in the meetings where it was brought up. We were almost certain that Bruce was messing with us. He was such a tease.

No, no, it was oh so serious. It wasn’t about aliens. It could be referring to hostile aircraft, enemy aircraft, or again just a flock of birds.

“Birds, I’ll bet you five bucks right now.” Jenny said.

I wouldn’t take that bet. Not if I was going to get those implants. Jenny had enjoyed the big breasts God had granted her with, but me? I was the stewardess only the nerdy fat men felt comfortable hitting on. Some days I even felt like I was only kept onboard for the pleasure of the dikes that preferred their women flat and boyish looking like K.D. Lang or Orlando Bloom.

But we were supposed to go out and reassure the passengers it was nothing and ask them if they needed anything other than a faster Wi-Fi connection so they could continue updating their Twitter accounts.

But there was no chance in that.

Everyone could see it coming.

If I had to describe it, it wasn’t lights. It was more like how a mirror shines in daylight. It illuminated the cabin to the point of blindness.

It felt like the plane shook so hard that it stopped sounding like it was shaking and for that moment all the atoms that made us and the plane were moving in perfect harmony. Replicating that same feeling one has when the plane is stopped on the runway. But only because our atoms were vibrating at a rate that was so fast it seemed still, we couldn’t move. Couldn’t blink. Couldn’t hear.

It was as if time froze.

We could still think.

The shake must’ve fired up every synapse in our brains and all I could do was think and remember and experience. I had become aware of all the atoms around me—all the atoms that made me. It almost seemed like I knew what each one’s purpose was.

Not just how the atom served my body, but why it even wanted to serve my body. I could feel the communication that mankind must’ve long taken for granted.

Then the vibrating stopped and we all threw up.

Everywhere.

Thankfully, as a flight attendant, picking up trash is where we draw the line.

We were given permission to land based on risk of a biohazard. You probably read about that in the papers. Maybe you even wrote the article. It was an issue with the airflow compounded with cabin pressure is what they said. Everybody got motion sickness all at once.

It was easy for us to accept that. All the passengers had no problem assuming that’s what they experienced; sudden mass nausea.
