The Flight Attendants Won’t Stop Crying | CreepCast

31:01It wasn't just slack, it was distorted. Their bottom lips curled downwards just enough to reveal rows of teeth. Their heads tilted forward, eyes locked onto me, shoulders hunched, arms dangling too loosely at their sides. They looked like something out of a nightmare, like the scream, but worse. Nikki wasn't as bad. He was staring too, but his face shifted, same way my mom's did when she picked up from the hospital. Like, he couldn't quite get it right. And yet, their conversation hadn't stopped. Their voices came out perfectly, flowing like normal. James and Tyler weren't moving their mouths.

31:39The water pump was still running. I had my phone up for maybe a second, but my whole body jerked like I'd been stabbed. Fingers fumbled and my phone slipped from my hands, leaning in the grass with a soft thud. Nikki asked if I was good. I could barely think, barely breathe. Beads of sweat formed on my temples. I swallowed hard, forced a smile forced the words out yeah yeah i'm great and i turned to face them normal they looked normal everything was normal but my stomach twisted into knots because i knew what i saw for the first time since i got home i realized i had nowhere to run you sure you're good i can't even remember who asked me that yeah i'm i'm good man my head's just pounding i think i should go home that part was true it was pounding nikki frowned you need a ride internally no externally no bro what you like driving dudes around your car or something you and the teenage boys i got this i just offered you a ride what you mean to suck your cock on the way home that's just a pretty formal thing hey you only want to you want to eat my asshole out and do all kinds of weird stuff with me.

32:55Let me jack you off in the driver's seat. Okay. I see that I'll never ask this ever again in my life. It's funny because anytime I offer to give you a ride somewhere, that's typically what you say. I jump for joy and I do. Yes. Yes.

33:15Yes. You're giving them too much to work with. I take three or four butterscotch candies. I roll them around my mouth and I get my my saliva nice and thick and I do I do I say I say I say I say I guess if you want to that's why I say like that oh gosh what okay so I guess we can't be bros it's fine I guess we can't do what fellas do I guess boys can't be boys oh gosh the other two laughed the tension cracked just a little we all started getting ready to part ways but i dragged it out i will say that that interaction though like trying to get out of something with a friend and then say that is one of the most realistic things we've ever read on the show that's 100 % like a what you like driving dudes what are you uh that's pretty why why is that realistic

34:15we all started getting ready to part ways but i dragged it out Paced around their cars, made jokes Tossed a football over the hoods, anything to stall Kept stealing glances at the mirrors and windows Waiting for another glimpse of what was under their veils Nothing First few times, I swear, I saw their eyes dart away from mine in the reflections Like they knew what I was doing Then it was like they just stopped looking towards me altogether No matter how I angled myself, how fast I glanced I never caught them like I had on the field and yet looking back i can't shake the feeling like they knew exactly where i was looking like they had just found ways to stare at me from difficult angles without me ever catching their eyes such a pick me girl dude is that what this story is about a pick me i think it might be all right guys so what you don't want to fucking kiss my chest now or something were we not bros now it's weird when they look at me i feel scared but when they don't look at me i get angry it's definitely some pick me energy dude okay i'm just glad they let me go home i don't even know what the end goal is but i feel like i'm being bled out played with before i'm eaten eden managed to steady my breathing on the ride back so i pulled up to my house i veered towards a spare garage, an old attached structure barely used except for storage.

35:40I figured I'd leave my bike in there for now, just so I wouldn't have to linger outside any longer than necessary. I wheeled up to the side door, gripped the rusted handle, the lock had long since broken, and with a firm push, the door groaned open. Dust and stale air hit me first, scent of old cardboard and forgotten junk. The space was dim, faintly illuminated by street lights filtering through the grimy windows i rolled my bike inside careful not to trip over scattered tools and warped furniture when i froze in the center of the garage right where it shouldn't be was my car perfectly intact okay that's good that's cool perfectly intact not totaled not even scratched my breath caught in my throat i took a slow step forward fingers brushing the hood.

36:32Cold, real, tangible. The last I'd heard of this car, I was being told it had been wrecked, scrapped. My parents handed me 250 bucks and said that's all it was worth. So why was it here? I circled to the driver's side and peered inside. The keys weren't in the ignition, but they dangled from the dash. Something was off. The seat, normally adjusted to fit me, was pushed all the way back like someone much taller had been sitting there. A low tremor crawled up my spine. The car, despite being untouched, was covered in dust. How long was I in the hospital? Doesn't matter. It was getting dark. I did a quick fluid check, ran my hands over the tires, making sure it'd be ready if I needed it, and jogged back to the house.

37:23The second I stepped through the front door, it hit me again. Oh. Ugh. Rapid, aggressive shuffling. Door slam. Then in a voice too casual, too normal to be real. Honey, you missed dinner. Want me to heat something up for you? No. It's okay, Mom. I'll handle it. The living room TV was blue screened, casting a sickly glow over the open floor plan. I didn't dare mess with my parents' setup. At this point, they had to know I was on to them. I would do nothing to disturb the peace. I grabbed some snacks from the fridge, went straight to my room, locked the door. Dug out my old iPod Gen 6 from middle school, buried in a shoebox, and set it to charge.

38:13For a while, I just sat there, listening. It was too quiet. I FaceTimed the iPod from my phone, hesitating, debating whether I should even leave my room. The upstairs layout was simple. Four rooms. Mine was first, on the left at the top of the stairs. My parents was last on the right. At the very end, a closet where we kept detergent and towels. My bathroom was the last door on the left. The plan was simple. A strategic iPod drop-off during my next bathroom run. I executed flawlessly, waiting for the next round of patrolling before slipping out. I cracked the closet door just enough To give my iPod a view down the hall Plugged the charger in beneath the bottom shelf And left it there I hid an eye First of all Not to put the bump in the road Can you FaceTime an iPod I thought you could with the I thought you could with the eye touches But maybe I'm not sure Unless he's just talking about Like iPhone Maybe I'll go with it i just remember the eye touch they had like the camera and stuff on it remember that one probably i guess i didn't think facetime was a thing back then but whatever a way to see what my parents really looked like when they thought no one was watching almost regret this decision it seemed fine when i got back in my room and locked the door quietly angled my dresser in front of it wedging my desk chair as tightly as i could under the handle too much movement too much movement from him no from the parents oh it's like he's a spider or sorry it's like he's a bug in a spider's web yeah no he's fucked he's caught right now dude when he opened that door and it says a shuffling aggressive uh like movement and then a door slamming like everything was out and then the second he opened that door at all like cockroaches when you turn on the light all scurried back in place.

40:13I heard my parents' door fly open, slamming into the inside wall of their bedroom. By the time I grabbed my phone, she was already there, standing at the end of the hall, facing my door, swaying. She was past the weird shifting face that Nikki had. Whatever this is, there's stages. Her jaw wasn't just distended. It was stretched beyond its limit. the skin pulled so tight it dangled with every sway of her body even from here i could see the bags under her eyes not just dark circles but loose sagging folds that drooped to her upper lip exposing way too much dry pink eyelid her hair thin and patchy clung to her scalp with a greasy sheen from the glow of the living room tv and the dim light spilling from the master bedroom her arms didn't hang her elbows were bent and stiff unnatural 90 degree angles shoulders hunched forward wrists limp long bony fingers dangling the only way I knew it was my mom was the pajama top clung to her sharp skeletal frame stretched over the ridges of her spine hanging loose around her frail shoulders she leaned in pressed against the door her head tilted slow, deliberate like she could see through the wood tracking exactly where I was and then a whisper Honey, are you awake?

41:46Her mouth didn't move lips stretched thin, jaw unhinged and frozen in that grotesque, slack-jawed state but the words came anyway perfectly clear, perfectly human I know you're up, honey. I just heard you moving. Uh, yeah. I just moved some furniture around. I didn't like where my TV was. A pause. Then the whisper again. Perfectly clear. Perfectly human. Can I see? My throat tightened. Tomorrow. I'm naked right now, and I don't know. I don't want to get dressed. Please, please, please work. I was frozen, a face glued to my phone screen, not daring to look away from the grainy FaceTime feed. My breath barely made a sound.

42:42Then finally... Okay, tomorrow then. As she spoke, something shifted in the farthest, darkest corner past the stairs. First I thought it was just a shadow, but then an arm. thin, brittle, dangling down from the ceiling like a puppet on cut strings. Another arm followed, then a body, slow and deliberate, lowering itself down the wall. My stomach turned to ice. Dad. Did he ever even leave the house? Was he already this far along when he picked me up from the hospital with mom? None of it mattered. He moved with absolute silence Clambering up the stairs His mom whispered one last time Goodnight son I love you Then dad shuffled past her Same stiff unnatural cadence Mom had been moving with for weeks If I weren't staring straight at him Could have sworn it was still her He went to the master bedroom Closed the door Then without making a single noise He came back Just completely silently like through the house uh a trick i would have surely fell for if i hadn't been watching them this whole time uh uh it's like okay we're gonna go reset we're gonna shut the door and then we're gonna be completely silent and then wait to pounce well yeah it makes all the it makes all the noise they've been making more deliberate and less like yeah before it almost felt like animals like going in and out you know i mean recklessly but now it feels all intentional which is just fucking horrifying trying to mimic what parents sound like closing doors opening doors and stuff like that but now it's like they can be completely silent when they're ready he ended right behind where she was standing and that brings me to now for the past two hours they've been outside my door every move i make they track it through the wood through the silence it's 302 a.m if i can just make it to daylight without passing out.

44:48I think I can open the bay window and jump. After that, straight to the spare garage, grab the car, get out of town. I don't know how far this shit has spread, but I can't stay here. Oh god, they're getting on the ground. Lowering themselves. Peeking under the door. I might have to go right now. Okay, okay. Damn it. I'll update when I'm safe. That's the end. you know what I like about that ending too that is solid I like that I like that ending because there's no part 2 I like that this is one of those things where this is the perfect story to not have a sequel by the way this is a thing that is so simple really the only thing that happens is a guy is like walking around he goes and visits his friend once comes back to the house and the parents are still being weird it just goes to show that like not a lot of things happen in a story but the way that it's paced out and the way that you basically are just given like it's such a simple idea but it uses the short format in a great way where i feel like i there's a lot of things i like about this one still don't really know if this guy if this kid is like this is all just a concussion nightmare thing is even awake you know what i mean this like i mean i don't i don't know if he's like in a fucking coma or something like that like the wreck could have been real and this is all just playing out in his head or something could be in his head could be some kind of like he's fallen prey to some something that's he's in a coma and this is all in a coma or or maybe some I don't know some alternate world some weird there's any kind of possibility he could have fallen into that's what I was going to say is I know it's been a while since I said it but very Lovecraftian where it could be that his head struck at his mind open is is able to see things maybe as they really are or like an alternate dimension of things around him so i'm like also wondering are his parents just normal but he's seeing like the fucked up version of this like alternate reality around him that kind of thing i really love the car not being destroyed either that's like a fun detail that also who gives a fuck i don't need to i don't need to know what happened with that that's just a great that's just a great tool again for deceit of like what why the fuck is this here you know i mean like we don't i don't need to know more about it but i do like how he's like well you know i'm gonna see if i can regroup and figure out what's up and then all of a sudden it's like oh wait no they're peering at me from under the door i might just have to leave now there's just a sense of urgency to where i like that the the reader can just kind of run with it at the end did he get out was this real these kind of questions are fun i like the conversation you can have with people uh within with an ending like this you know because it feels like everything that the story needed to tell you it has told you like resolving this monster story isn't going to be i don't think necessarily satisfying i think it like props up a great idea for a scary idea and it gives you just enough to be like oh that was fun i wonder if it's this or that and it makes it so much more fun than if someone tries to give you uh the ending in a way where i feel like it's gonna disappoint you maybe so i don't know i really enjoyed this i think it leaves just enough unanswered to make you ask some really cool and creepy questions i think it tells you just enough and it keeps just enough in the shadows um so this is great i was also so i've been reading through his other post apparently this got removed because nothing tangible happened to the character according to the no sleep mods and apparently he got a temporary he got a 30-day ban because this and another of his stories broke that same rule according to him that nothing tangible happened to the i like how it i like how for no sleep it's like a tangible thing that has has to happen to a character is like a child has to either be like assaulted or like somebody like a child needs to be assaulted or somebody has to like clearly die when it's like i guess him being through this concussion concussion and then being tormented by his fucking like his entire town his friends and family yeah i mean nothing really happens to him well he did write something funny in our subreddit he said um he says he has a 30-day ban and he says uh because I didn't have something tangible like my character's penis sloughing off from radioactive acid treatment.

49:23Yeah, we didn't. They didn't have a indestructible pedophile come in and have sex with the kids and basically have his way with the mom to in the basement. See, now that would have been the arse. Arse. No sleep. People like rubbing their head, all the sweat off their head. Yes. OK. They have their fucking lunch bell.

49:49yeah sorry we're gonna have to ban this one because of the lack of pedophilia nothing happened okay so there's a rule there has to be a pedophile so if if anything this is the creative note i'm going to give you um make the mom a pedophile and make her indestructible and try to have the and try to have the main character burn her but then she just has his way with him in the basement thank you look for what it's worth for what it's worth i like the indestructible pedophiles story i had fun reading it but it's insane i also agree not everything has to be that yes no no no i i just think it's such a that that rule and the reason for that i guess that ban is so absurd to think that like this kind of torment that the guy is going through is not enough when to me i'm like this is insane also too it reads like in the parameters of their format it reads like a post like it because also it's like it makes no fucking sense for a guy to be like yeah i'm stabbed how many times have we read something on no sleep where it's like yeah i've been shot eight times it's like can you imagine writing this to reddit and you're getting shot or like you have eight bullets well i'm bleeding out pretty bad y 'all the indestructible vampire pedophiles coming after me and i feel pretty upset about it it's like this feels more like a post yeah there's so many that are completely ruined because it has to be like it's like people can write interesting stories it's like okay now my character has to find a laptop and then upload do you remember the what was the one story uh the one about finding a boat in the middle of the ocean i forget what it was my crew found an abandoned yacht or whatever yeah it's like a cruise ship or whatever yeah cruise ship every single entry opened and closed with i got on my laptop and went to reddit i'm now typing i'm really tired dumb that was i'm really tired or else they get banned yeah they're just You either do that or one of the ghosts is a pedophile.

51:40Pick your lane. If there's no pedophile, you better come to Reddit. All right, Mr. No Sleep, fine. So the ghost is a pedophile. Oh, okay, good. You're safe now. Yeah, I don't know. It's a shame because No Sleep is probably the biggest fictional writing board on Reddit. Dude, 18 million. 18 million followers in that deal. deal and to get seen and to have like you know notoriety as someone who's trying to get into the horror writing space that's kind of the place you have to go you know so i'm not saying that i'm not saying it's complete i'm not saying that it's not still a viable place to do that i just think that no of course not i'm just saying the rules are so it is the most viable place that is with also the roles also i'm wondering too if it's very much like a uh if another mod would have seen it if they're like oh this story's fine if there's just like one power tripping mod who's like yeah not really a lot happened you know i mean like i wonder how subjective that uh that's that system is for allowing stories on you know what i mean yeah so yeah i i'm not sure all i know is uh this was a great story i really i really like the length of it it was nice and like like nice and quick and i think it adds to this little collection i'm curious to see how the next story goes i will say this about the author that we just read, Dan Bowl or Dean Bowl.

53:06Four months ago, he made a post in our slash creep cast absolutely swinging for us on the Ligotti story. He posted, he was like, that was good. And it should be appreciated. And then just reply after reply after reply. like one man on an island just swinging an axe he well yeah he probably has enough experience on fucking reddit with all the people and the having to fight those mods you know i mean it is what it is so no i mean but in all honesty this was this was a lot of fun you know the only thing that i guess like if i had any it's not really even a complaint it's just the whole unhinged jaw thing i feel like is a bit okay so if i if i'm giving critiques to a story that i really like and i think it's cool i feel like the unhitched jaw thing was a little it's just done you didn't need a lot yeah i to me the feet under the door was great and the quiet movement was great you didn't need the job maybe once but not as like a recurring thing although it does kind of make it seem like an an entity that's going to eat you like swallow yeah but i don't think that's kind of creepy i don't think you need it i don't think you need that i think for something like this to me i think it's like you need to make the like i mean i say you need this is my opinion i think it's effective if you don't have any of that stuff but you keep challenging the norms of reality like if he would have came home and his mom's shirt was on backwards or whatever the mom looks totally normal whatever and it's a thing where now at the end you can make that even crazier where it's like my mom was topless she was just in her bra like how how weird is that you know what i mean like yeah like that kind of stuff and i think that you can get away from like the unhinged jaw, which is just like, I mean, I love, you know, dislocated jaws and rows of teeth and all that kind of stuff.

54:58But I think for a story like this, where it's, I mean, it's purely like you're questioning if the person's insane or if you're questioning reality, I think keeping it as close to reality and really playing with that is going to have people have so many visceral different reactions to where I think that's where that conversation becomes more fun too no no no i think he's just to say no it's this or that you know just i think like riding that line is really fun and i think if they're dressed normally it's or if they're totally normal it's just so much creepier like i think about my mom doing that and then like feeling threatened by this thing that i that is completely normal but it's just slightly off is this uncanny valley that i think is really effective and fun you know yeah yeah i think I think they are a very talented writer and this is a banger.

55:50I hate that got taken off, but please give all of yours to ours. We appreciate it. Also the, uh, the dad, wish I had a little more with the dad. I think that we could have had the dad, the dad, the dad was cool. I liked the, the unblinking kind of looking forward. Yeah. I like how the coolest parts, how he moved silently at the end. That's terrifying to me. The scariest parts of the story were the silent movement and in the car at the beginning, how the mom couldn't decide what facial expression she wanted to show. Yeah. those freaked me out. I'm trying to think if I had any other critiques of it.

56:18I just think we mentioned the Xbox. Maybe once too many. I thought that he was getting ready to get into some of the gamer language or something like that. I was like, oh, watch out Xbox. No, the just that we got in a nice little conversation with him and the mom. I just like I just to have a little bit more just because we have we put some emphasis on the dad as well, because we put emphasis on the friends. He has a nice interaction with them. wish there was just maybe one little interaction with the dad a bit of him even just trying to talk to him or if the dad just joined the mom at the end and was talking to him as well why don't you let us in you know like just just just to see it doesn't not necessary but i mean it was really it was really great where it went i really enjoyed it and uh dean if that is your real name please keep making these this was dope also really and this is just me once again i'm not trying to be or anything really try to hone in the idea of like really making this character die or being attacked by a super pedophile if you want to actually make it anywhere so my my criticism is maybe he could get molested perhaps or also just just hear me out yeah he or someone could explode but he has to get injured in the explosion so that way he's bleeding but as he's exploding he's typing out the story and then in the final sentences he says wow i sure hope i don't explode but then there's a dash at the end it's hard for me flying that i'm actually getting as he hit post i'm actually getting fucking explodes i'm getting fucking pissed because it's hard for me to know if a character has gone through something unless the character is on like let's say a ghost ship and then there's like fucking vampires attacking him and he gets hurt and if the character doesn't say that he's hurt on the thing how am i supposed to know right you know so it's just one of those saying.

58:05So I'm getting a little heated. Maybe you could have like some clever foreshadowing, like maybe in the beginning he'd be like, Hey, I'm writing this story and my biggest fear is exploding. So then at the end of the story, when he does explode, it's like, Oh, that's what he was afraid of. And I, I guess it's a message about the things you're afraid of or what tend to find you. So maybe you could do that and it would actually be good. So, you know, maybe you could try that out. Yeah. Listen, I mean, not everybody can have a home run. I mean, this was definitely a bit of a strikeout. But next time, maybe there's a home run.

58:34Maybe stop riding. Maybe stop riding if you're not willing to put in. No, actually, I agree. Just quit riding. Maybe if you're not ready to incorporate super pedophiles or exploding super pedophiles, you're going to have to use the super pedophiles at some point. You don't have what it takes to work in this industry. Okay, that's just how it is. So either get some pedos in there or you better start having people try to kill themselves, try to kill each other by getting them to kill themselves. figure it out figure it out uh choose your lane maybe right have pedophiles get people to kill themselves through explosions and then at the end our character gets molested and then explodes or you have uh a sheriff in the town and he's like a badass but also still pedophile and he has a warehouse outside of town and that's how the character would have done it maybe he's like oh yeah people are people are looking at me but then vice versa he goes to the woods and finds a warehouse and that's kind of the idea that's how and that's how you but then of course but then of course he's a pedophile as well so he's like oh this is great so he's happy with it but then it turns out that that's your dad all the children that have been abductive are vampires so it's like oh well I can't have these because they're vampires so I have to kill them now now it's a threat now it's scary because it's vampires and you can have there be a lot of blood and people dying and then that would make it scary so thank you for these rules master Thank you for these rules.

59:58Fuck sakes. On to the next story where we're reading a story called I've been flying for almost 30 hours and the flight attendants won't stop crying, which I just got to say, even reading that title gives me a panic attack. I don't I don't I don't hate flying, but planes, I think no matter what, even if people I don't I don't mind flying. They're a little scary, right? You're just kind of in a death tube up in the sky. i think if i think about it too long ms because i fly all the time but if i'm sitting there for a while and i'm like kind of right beneath my feet's nothing if this was to crash right now i'd have a really long time to think about it then it messes with me a little bit yeah um or like sometimes if we get a lot of turbulence especially on takeoff i get a little oh yeah the butterflies for sure yeah yeah i've had some weird flying experiences where it's like okay well this is it all right well this is what dying feels like um but yeah i i feel like regardless of how much you do it it's a little creepy for anyone um but today's story actually we have a little treat it's made by a writer called worchester street which scrolling through their reddit i see that they are a fan of creepcast or at least they've commented in r slash creepcast a couple times um and that they were very kind to show someone in the subreddit give them some advice about posting on no sleep and story writing so they seem like a cool person uh they've written a bunch of stories for r slash no sleep uh some of them highly rated so we'll have them linked in the description be sure to show them some love if you enjoyed and we certainly appreciate them being cool writing stuff and then engaging with the community it means a lot but just because you're nice on in our subreddit doesn't mean that we're going easy on you but i will say also with the title the one thing they say about flying is they say if the people working in the plane aren't freaking out you have nothing to worry about.

1:01:51So me seeing a flight attendant crying for 30 hours which first off, 30 hours is we're going through hell apparently, but if I saw a flight attendant crying, I don't even know what I I have no idea what I would even be able to do. It would be rough. I was on a plane one time and we were flying, we had a connection in Atlanta. And as we're getting close to Atlanta, there was a storm that was apparently so bad. They evacuated the tower in Atlanta. So we're on our flight and they're like, Hey guys, not landing at Atlanta. We have to go. We have to go to Charlotte. Cause it's the only airport that'll, or not Charlotte, Charleston, South Carolina.

1:02:31Cause it's the only airport that will take us. Uh, and we can't stay up in the air cause we don't have that much gas. So the whole way there, my wife and I were sitting, Kayla and I were sitting on the front row and people kept coming up to the flight attendants and being like, I've got a flight out of Atlanta, and we're going to end up getting there after the flight leaves. And the flight attendants kept having to explain to these people what an airport is. And they would be like, ma 'am, no one is leaving or going. The flight will not leave on you. It can't leave. They're like, no, but it takes off in an hour.

1:03:05And they're like, ma 'am, I have no way to talk to you. I can't deal with this. We're going to die in this. I hope you realize we're going to die by the time we get to South Carolina. Yeah. But my flight, there was one point where like the, it was this one woman too, who kept coming back and asking stupid questions. And at one point she comes up there and she was like, I don't see why we're going to Charleston. That's not Atlanta. And the guy's like, okay, Atlanta is gone. We can't go there and we can't be in the sky because we have to go to the ground. so we're gonna go to the ground over here and then we'll come back over there and then she walks back she like loudly stomps back to her seat and she tells her husband he said we have to drive to orlando the flight attendant looks at me and kayla goes did i say that is that what i said did i say that my god man i get yeah i love i would love if they're like we or atlanta's that option's gone what happened to it where did it go why did they get rid of it who did it who hurt them well warchester street it is time isaiah are you ready it is time i'm ready to get into it let us begin as always thank you to everyone uh who listens on audio platforms continue to show support there means a lot uh and of course our patreon supporters love you guys the most it's not that you are more important than everyone else who listens but you are to me your life matters more so thank you for that we have a little q a thing today of asking some patrons about some of the new episode recordings.

1:04:37So curious to see how that goes. So we'll see. Because again, they matter to us more than the others. So my sweet, sweet little angels. With that, let us begin. I've been flying for almost 30 hours. The flight attendants won't stop crying. 30 hours ago, I hopped on a late night flight from New York heading to Los Angeles. After boarding, I saw that I had an entire row to myself. Takeoff passed without incident, and soon I was stretched out for a nap across the row. I slept for a few hours. I don't know how long, but I slept for a few hours. I don't know how long, but it was a few hours. But I woke up to some severe turbulence.

1:05:18It's possible that the lights in the cabin went out for a moment, but I was so disoriented that it's hard to say. I checked my phone to see that it was 4.03 a.m., which I figured gave me about an hour until we landed. When I looked out my window, I was shocked to see nothing but wide open ocean. My jaw dropped. There's obviously no ocean between New York and Los Angeles. I hit the button to call the flight attendant and spent the next few minutes racking my brain for a lake that could have been possibly big enough to explain what I was seeing. I jumped when the attendant flipped off the light.

1:05:51She was grinning from ear to ear, tears pouring down her cheeks. How can I help you, sir? I froze for a moment at her reaction before deciding to just ask my question. Where are we? Why does it look like we're flying over in an ocean? She wiped her cheeks to clear the tears, still grinning wildly. Sir, we'll be landing in about an hour. Okay, thank you. After she left, I checked the clock on my phone again. 4.03 a.m. blinked back at me. Had it changed? Okay, so Hunter, right now, role play, what do you do in this scenario? You're the guy in the seat. So, can I start with a crying woman? Yeah, sure.

1:06:33So she's crying. And then she comes up and says, we'll be landing in about an hour. Who did this to you? What's wrong? Who did this? Who did this? I would make a big scene. And I would say, oh my God, are you okay? Is it the pilot? Is it the pilot? So you're immediately white knighting off the get-go. Anytime I can white knight, I absolutely do it. I say, oh my God, who did this? Okay, so then she responds and goes, what are you talking about, sir? I'm fine. And I say, don't fucking play. Hey, hey, don't play coy with me. All right? you're sitting there crying like a babbling brook in my head you're grabbing her face like you grabbed her cheeks no no no i don't i don't i don't do that but i say i say hey hey sorry i don't mean to raise my voice but i say you are obviously a woman in distress and i need to know how i can help let me help you and i say and i say again i'm like don't mean me fucking asking again it's in the lunkin island because it's the Pilot, you let me know and I will go in there and I will break hell, is what I would say.

1:07:42You're like, you know, I'm going to take over this plane. This is a hijacking now. I actually, I've done flight simulator since I was 13 years old. I can land this bird so easily. Okay? Tasha? Yeah. Tasha, you have a beautiful name. It's a beautiful name. Wasn't a pilot. Wasn't a pilot, is what I keep saying like that. And there'd be a guy next to me looking at me. He's like, can I get a water? And I'm like, no, stop it. I'm like, no, you don't have to. You don't have to take orders from these fucking animals. Well, if there's a woman asking for a water, what would you say? Honestly, sweetheart, I appreciate you trying to stay hydrated and stay mentally focused for this flight.

1:08:20But I need you to just give me and Tasha five minutes. Could you do that for me? Because if there's one thing I know about you, it's that you respect women. Oh, God. More than anything. Up and down, all over. And I would hand her my pillow because, you know, they gave you the in-flight pillow. Of course. I'd be like, I'd say, please. And honestly, and Tasha, this isn't against you because honestly, I know American Airlines, you didn't make the plane. I give the woman next to me, her name's Sabrina. Is it Sabrina? That's a beautiful name, first off, Sabrina. I just want to say it's a beautiful name.

1:08:53Right. Take this pillow. I'm going to put it behind your neck because you're not going to get any lumbar support. All right? I want you to have a beautiful, restless sleep because you're a beautiful little princess. All right? And I say, Tasha, you tell me right now, if that fucking dog-faced man, the cockpit, did this, did he do this to you? And that's how it handled the situation. Right. You know, it's funny because a lot of you guys probably think he's joking or playing it up. I've never been on a flight with Hunter where he's acted normally. There's always some bit. There's always something.

1:09:27Do you want to tell him about what you did on that flight to Tampa? What did I do on the flight to Tampa? Yeah, that one from Kansas City to Tampa. Do you remember that? I don't. I barely remember what happened yesterday. I don't remember. We were. This is when we were going to shoot the ghost hunting video we made with Charlie or Moist Critical. I remember going to Tampa, but what did I do on the flight? While we were going there, he had bought these like$20 crappy Amazon webcams to look like the old Zach Baggins, like Ghost Adventure stuff. So he decided to test them out on the plane by acting like he was in an abandoned building.

1:10:10So he's setting, he's setting in the chair. He's got the camera like this close to his face. And he's like, guys, I don't. Did you hear that? Guys, guys. And he's like panicking and like sweating. And in the background, you can just see rows of people. Someone, someone shifts in their sleep. he's like did you hear that did you guys hear that and nick's filming him too and has an equally close camera up in his face tell them what tell them what happened in the bathroom yeah i was gonna say the only thing i remember now that you say that because i totally forgot we bought those cameras the only thing i remember the bathroom is that i was recording myself in there and i was pretending that i was like doing a ghost scent thing uh and then i stood up and then i just like I pretty much just filled my shit in this like airplane toilet and I just kept looking in the mirror it's a whole it doesn't matter you know what I was being a little silly he filled he filled the toilet and he was like he had the crappy IR filter on so everything was black and white and he's spinning around in the bathroom like guys I don't know guys I think there's a ghost in here spirits are you with us and as he's spinning You just pass the toilet that's full.

1:11:31Just keeps. There were four different bathrooms on that trip. He did that. I don't know how he was ready to go. And everyone we came across. I did forget. We did have a, we did have a moment. There was a shit toilet in the ghost. I totally forgot about that. So I was, I must've been backed up for a while. I was holding in some demons. You, every one of them. I was like, this has to be the last one surely I just remember because we were I felt bad I feel bad because I opened the door and there's nothing more it's like kind of like whenever you're watching your dog take a shit and he looks at you and you can just tell he's ashamed or whatever so I get out of the bathroom and just by like an unforeseeable wind gusts this like horrid wretched smell out of the bathroom and the woman in the front row right by the bathroom just did good god

1:12:32I had to walk by her and be like sorry about that he's like are you with us spirit speak to us say something sorry man sorry it's a bad I had some bad Chipotle last night he kept putting the camera in the floor to be like, I think I'm sensing something. And as the camera spins, you just see rows of feet. And he's like, is that a person? Does that look like a person back there? It's just a woman in shoes. So anyway, my point is him deciding to like white knight over a stewardess asking if the pilot beat her, you know, the pilot she met like five minutes ago when the flight began, that would be on par.

1:13:14That would be a bit he wouldn't have been. So yeah, he's in the plane.

1:13:23I had to have been waiting with my call light on for at least five minutes. How is it possible that it hadn't changed at all? I opened up my laptop and saw it too displayed 4.03 a.m. I pulled out my phone, started a stopwatch in the app, spent the next two hours looking back and forth between the clocks, waiting for them to change. They never did. I tapped the shoulder of an older woman sitting in the row ahead of me. She looked back, an annoyed expression across her face. Yes? Do you know how long until we land? She narrowed her eyes. That flight attendant said it would be about an hour. I shook my head in confusion.

1:13:59That flight attendant? We talked almost two hours ago. We should have landed already. She stared at me as if I was crazy. I was going to continue trying to convince her, but I felt a hand on my shoulder. I spun to see a male flight attendant grinning down at me, tears pinging off his cheeks onto my shoulder. Sir, I'm going to ask you to calm down Or I'll be calling the captain I told him that wouldn't be necessary And sat back, he removed his hand And stepped away I feel like he has been pretty amicable I don't think he's really caused a fuss, has he? Hey, how long till we land, sir? Sir Sir, I'm going to get the taser I'm going to get the bite dog It'd be different if she's like The flight attendant said in an hour from now And he's like, an hour now are you fucking crazy?

1:14:47We're gonna die! That would elicit something, but I feel like him being like, oh, that's weird. No, that's weird. We talked a couple hours ago. Don't really think, and he's like, is there a problem? You got a problem here? Is this a problem? You wouldn't want this to be a problem, would you? You won't want this to be a problem. Look, we'll throw you out. We've done it before. Sir. We can do it again. Sir. Flight attendants continue to stop by every few hours offering meals. Every few hours? God damn, dude. watch continues to stick up and sitting there like all right another two hours passed by hey any hour now at what point do you cause a problem at what point are you like all right you know what i've got a gun after she says after the flight attendant said an hour landing an hour is like from then or how long until you cause a problem like that guy like the flight attendant came out i was like am i gonna have to tell the captain like at what point are you like you know what yeah tell the captain when she said an hour from now i would say 30 minutes after that so before an hour's even passed exactly before even the amount of time i've been doing the whole time get me out of this death trap that's i've been rolling around oh god what is this what kind of magic show is this be doing that so so hunter gets on a two hour flight one hour into the two hour flight he's making demands he's trying to land this thing fucking land

1:16:18my stopwatch continued to tick up and is now telling me that I've been on this plane for more than 30 hours I've explored all of coach tried talking to some of the other passengers they've all told me that they're expecting to land in an hour or so around three hours ago I tried getting into first class made it past the curtain but was escorted back by two grinning flight attendants the grip of my arms were like iron sir the seatbelt light sign is on please remain in your seat with your buckle fastened we'll be landing in about an hour that would piss me off just about i thought that hold on this is a woman speaking are you not going to be kind and respectful to them listen you're a perfect angel but you are releasing some kind of demon for me.

1:17:03Please don't make me go there, is what I would say. I say please do not make me go there. Don't make me open up the cage. Let the tiger out to play. I'm unfurling my wings. And darkness will cast over this plane. Do you hear me? Not if you hear me. Hunter gets shot to death by an air marshal. Freeze!

1:17:33I just about given up hope. When a woman came down the aisle dressed in a business suit, she didn't look at me or slow down, but she dropped a piece of paper onto my tray. She made her way to the bathrooms at the back of the plane. I shot a look around before unrolling it. It said, Are you stuck too? I pulled out a pen and wrote, Yes, it's been 30 hours. I folded the scrap of paper up and set it on my tray closest to the aisle. She left the bathroom and picked it up as she passed. it's been 20 minutes since then I don't know why but I don't think the flight attendants would like it if they knew we were talking doesn't matter I have to do something I'll update you all with whatever happens next into part one alright so let's end of part one I just want to say this I think he's dead right if a person feels like this is probably going to be like a purgatory meme or something like that the uh it's funny that she's like ah it drops like a note I legitimately thought that with how childish it felt that he was going to be like yeah I've been here 30 minutes and he like makes an airplane out of it he's like looking the paper making an airplane throws it perfectly through first class into the bathroom I think so far it's been fine it hasn't it's just been like I'm stuck on the flight I don't know what's happening yeah I think it feels good so far I think it is kind of a creepy concept the idea of being on a plane and it never lands right what's that movie about the girl gets on the plane and they convince her her son never existed i don't i don't fucking know that i've never heard that i swear this is real i feel like that's just i feel like that's you just gaslighting some random passenger that was sitting next to you no it's she gets on the plane and like her son disappears like when he goes to the bathroom and she's like hey where's my kid they're like you never boarded the flight with the kid and like the whole flight they try to convince her son's not real i can't remember how it ends can i pitch something like she's sure okay just not not to interrupt you because i'm sure the movie's awesome but i had an idea i had a thought okay is it scarier if you're not over the ocean you're by the airport right and every time he's been descending for 30 hours and they pull back up right as soon as they're getting ready to land they're right near the ground he pulls back up and they have to go back around it's like a mental torture right So he goes right now.

1:19:52And then after a while, the guy's like, what the fuck is going on? Why are we not landing, sir? It's just an hour. Okay, just give us an hour. They're crying, right? What if it's like when they land, they're like, your asshole is going to explode. Out from your bottom. Your asshole will prolapse and shit out your organs. To the point where there's people on the plane who are like, I don't give a fuck. I want to get off this plane. and other people are like, sir, think of his asshole. The man's going to die. Whatever. And now you have a moral conflict. It becomes like a sacrifice thing. He's like, I don't care.

1:20:29Let my asshole become red cabbage and spill out all onto the floor. My gutty works. He does that. Or he's just like, hold on. Hold on. And then he goes and people start revolting. And one of the passengers comes up to the pilot and he's just like, you land this fucking plane or I'll put a bolt in the back of your head. He's like, how'd you get that gun on this plane? God damn it. and he's like it's 3D printed I 3D printed and he has the back of his head like that would that be a good hook it would be something alright or it's just like as soon as they there's a treaty we live in a world where every time a plane lands someone on the path or how about this this is even better the woman in the fucking zoot suit walking around dropping stuff she's just like we can't land he's like what whatever and then they keep coming up to him asking him are you ready to land in six hours yeah that's fine i don't care another hour passes are you very sure you're ready to land in five hours sir are you sure yeah that's totally fine zootsu one walks by please don't let us land he's like what the fuck is happening four hours whatever but like three hours comes by by three she and he's just like can i ask why you keep asking that she's like oh well you're you're in the seat where as soon as we as soon as we land you have to eat a baby to eat this baby on the plane and he's like excuse me excuse me he's like that woman in the zoot suit back there dressed like sinbad from 1992 she we've taken her baby we've wrapped her in tinfoil and they're like we're getting ready to put them in an air fryer and you have to eat the whole thing before people can get off and there's a guy next to me she's like dude seriously man i appreciate you taking in this one for the team.

1:22:13Try to tell me that's not a good one. I'm not going to eat a baby. Wait, what the fuck? Thank you. They have to fly back around. Whatever. And now he's like, we're going to run out of gas. The airplane, the captain comes by. Listen, I had eaten a baby two years ago and I didn't like it. You just have to do it once. No one will ask you to do it again. But if you don't do it, we're going to run out of gas and we're going to crash. We're going to die. You understand me?

1:22:39So is this like a metaphor for like the healthcare system or something. It could be. It could be, or it could just be a thing about people, I guess, mandating that you have to eat a child every time that you land a plane. That would, you know what? I would say if society did that, that would be bad. I'll agree. You know, I'm glad you said it because I wanted to say it too, but I was afraid, but it is wrong. Right, right. Okay. So I've been, I've been reading about the plot of this movie. I remembered. Okay. Okay. Like, I'm so glad I did. All right. So it's a movie called flight plan starring Jody Foster.

1:23:13And I was, I was wrong about being a son. It's her daughter. She go. So her husband just died in Berlin and she's flying back to the United States to bury him with her six year old daughter. And then her daughter disappears and everyone tries to convince her. Her daughter's not real. Okay. And then I'm reading through the summary and it says at one point, she accuses two Arab passengers of stalking her daughter the night before resulting in a fight and her being handcuffed so she gets handcuffed she gets convinced somehow in the midst of this that her husband everyone told her her husband killed himself by jumping off the building but she gets convinced it was a murder so she goes into the cargo bay and checks his body and it says she removes or no sorry an agent goes down to checks his body to find that his body has been rigged with explosives and a detonator of course and it's revealed that the the killer and the mortuary conspired to hijack the aircraft for a 50 million dollar ransom and framed this woman as the hijacker so they abducted her six-year-old daughter to convert to uh coerce her into going along with it i guess i'm going to have to watch flight plan almost immediately becomes a terrorist movie jodie foster becoming a terrorist in this and like somebody gaslighting it could also be equally as terrifying as if all that's happened like if imagine a movie where a mom and a mom and daughter get on the plane, right?

1:24:51And then all of a sudden, as soon as you sit down, the mom just pretends she doesn't know you. You know what I mean? Sitting there, she's just like, I don't know who this is. Mom, stop. Can I be moved? This gross little girl is trying to talk to me during the flight. I am going to watch flight plan. I feel like you do that to a daughter anyway. I feel like you do that to your daughter anyway. No, my daughter is an angel. I skipped ahead to the flight plan. Oh, she is? I thought you weren't telling the internet about her. I believe it. Okay. So later on, I'm just skipping ahead in the plot a little bit.

1:25:27At one point she agrees to hijack the plane and she's holding the pilot at gunpoint for some reason. And there there's a lot of killing at one point. She detonates the explosive on the plane was fine. That's what it looks like. Believing that neither the passengers nor the crew would even notice Kyle escapes with Julia and the aircraft's non-combustible hold as Carson shoots at her. She detonates the explosives, killing him and damaging a landing gear. What? And everyone realizes she was telling the truth. What truth that her daughter exists? This little girl is my daughter. Okay. Part two. Part two.

1:26:14I've been flying for almost 30 hours. Part two. A few hours after the businesswoman picked up her piece of paper with my message, she came back down the aisle and sat in the seat beside me. She bent over, trying to stay low. So, you're stuck too. I kept my voice low. Yeah. My name's Jack, by the way. I'd say nice to meet you, but... She nodded. I'm Mary. You're wrong. Getting your message was by far the best thing about the past day. I spent the last day and a half thinking I was alone in this. She paused for a moment, looking up the aisle. When she spoke again, her voice was a whisper. So, Jack, do you have any theories on what the hell's going on?

1:26:55I considered lying, but decided the truth is for the best. I think we might be dead.

1:27:04Imagine you're in this scenario, and then you ask the one other guy for help, and he's like, I think we're dead. It's like, okay. The guy reciprocating the junior high note passing, I think is going to be very nonchalant about this. It's how I'm reading it. I think we're dead. I think we might be dead. I think we're dead and we're ghost right now. Ooh. We can be ghost girlfriend boyfriend. And you can be ghost together. Wouldn't you like that, Mary? Would you like that, Mary? Ghost boyfriend girlfriend.

1:27:37Mary shook her head. Maybe if it were just me or just you, if this was some cosmic train to hell, Why would there be two of us who realize what's going on? Trains can't hold more than one passenger. Famously, trains have one person in them. None else. No idea. I don't know. Mary pulled out her phone and handed it to me. It displayed the Wikipedia article for flight MH370. Oh, that's the Malaysian one that disappeared. The airline that disappeared in 2014. Okay, well, yeah. I read through the article carefully. There were dozens of theories trying to explain what happened. that range from hypoxia to suicide to aliens.

1:28:17Mary, how are you still using a sidekick phone? Is that what it said? Oh, can you imagine this? It's just pulled out her phone. I like the idea that Jack's just asking completely unimportant things. Mary, how are you having an LG chocolate phone from 2007? How is that possible? Mary, that's so cool, Mary. Thank you for showing me this, Mary. Doesn't tell us much. Not much other than that this may have happened before. How about you? Any theories as to why anyone else can't see what's going on? We talked it over and realized one thing we had in common was that we were both fast asleep at 4.03 a.m.

1:29:01There's no way we were the only ones asleep at that time, though. Maybe everyone else was just napping. I don't know about you, but I was well and truly asleep. I was sunked out Seriously I was gone I hit the Zaza before the flight And my ass was my goofy eye Was totally busted out down the snooze train That's so cool Mary Mary you're awesome You're great Mary She takes out a tech deck I imagine she has a tech deck out this entire time While she's talking She keeps dropping on the floor It flips yeah that's pretty i that's awesome i've never seen anyone that's awesome mary i've never seen anyone do a jack mill before i saw that male flight attendant is he bothering you is that guy bothering you mary she's like what and she's like grinding on a uh one of those like uh those cookies that you get that the half pipe things yeah she's like she's she's on the biscoff cookie she's grinding on the Biscoff cookie singing ska songs to herself so here I am doing everything I can all the time

1:30:17Mary are you singing Superman by Goldfinger you know that song yeah you're you might be the coolest girl I've ever seen I would hope the story ends with both of them dying in a plane. Here I am doing it.

1:30:38Pretending I'm a Superman.

1:30:47The cabin lights flicked off and a dozen red emergency lights in the floor flicked on, casting the cabin in a red glow. The intercom crackles alive, saying, Passengers, please return to your seats. The seatbelt's side is fastened, and we may experience some turbulence. We'll be landing in about an hour. Mary froze. Should I go back? Maybe they won't notice if you're gone. Maybe they already know and they're just trying to separate us. Mary nodded. We should stay together. That's a better idea. Intercom crackled again. Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to announce the arrival of the captain. We'll all be given the opportunity to speak with him.

1:31:27Please remain in your seats until he calls you. immediate assistance. Don't worry. A flight attendant will happily help you on your way. That's creepy. I like that. The captains arrived. The idea of someone arriving mid-flight. That's pretty good. Oh my god. Did you hear that, Mary? No, sorry. I was messing with this tech deck. What did he say? Don't worry about it. They look down the road and it's just Captain America. Like Chris Evans. whoa Mary get off that mongoose bike with those sick pegs and we should talk about this yeah he's like really stoked about it he's like I love Avengers that's awesome she's like the only captain I know is Sean White she's like a big BMX person you're like what she's like yeah Travis Prestana

1:32:28she's just she's wearing all like the old merch like all the old sounds of passengers getting to their feet echoed from further up in the plane set in silence trying to get a look through the curtain separating us from first class the captain no idea but it didn't sound like they were talking about a pilot to me Did they? Nope. That's when a pungent sulfur smell hit us. Okay, so it's the devil. The devil's walking around in first class. That's when a pungent sulfur smell hit us. So strong that I had to resist the urge to gag. It reminded me of the worst rotting eggs I'd ever smelled in my life.

1:33:07But the old woman sitting ahead of us didn't react. She just kept watching a movie on the back of her seat. Don't cough. We fought it for a few long seconds before giving in, coughing hard and violently. A second later, the curtain opened. Mary and I froze, staring down the now red fuselage. Four flight attendants passed through the curtain and made their way down the rows towards us. Grins stretched wide across their faces. They were still crying. This time, the tears streaking their face were darker. It's hard to say with the lighting, but it looked like blood. My eyes weren't drawn to them, though.

1:33:39I looked over their shoulders at the figures standing near the front of the plane. It was a black silhouette standing beside the cockpit door. He was at least eight feet tall, pointing towards us with a single finger. He had called us. The bathrooms! We ran towards the back of the plane, the flight attendants closing in behind us, blood dripped from their grinning cheeks onto the carpet of the plane. The captain is here! He said in a perfect customer service voice. He screamed widen as he moved towards us. We made it to the bathrooms, jumping into opposite sides. I slammed the door shut and locked it, pressing my feet against the folding center part of the door to keep it closed.

1:34:14They began banging on the door and pulling at the handle while I fought to keep it closed. I'm sorry, but you'll both need to speak with the captain. One of the flight attendants said, Jack! Jack, help! A distinct snapping sound like breaking metal came from her bathroom. She continued to scream as the sounds of struggle migrated up towards the front of the plane, towards the black figure I'd seen. I'd like to say I jumped out and fought them, that I distracted them, or I did something heroic. I didn't. she was carried away and a few short seconds later her screaming was cut off that was a few hours ago and I'm still locked inside the bathroom I keep trying not to think of what they've done with her the thing at the front of the plane didn't seem human I hope it did what are you laughing about I heard you could just kind of funny the thing at the front of the plane didn't seem human the 8 foot tall black figure wasn't human the thing that boarded the flight mid 30 30 hour flight in air yeah that's weird okay I hope it didn't kill her not after she was shouting for my help like that I didn't take that oh it's so funny go ahead I just like she's not dead screaming like that me standing in this bathroom shit my pants I'd be a real bummer I'd feel real bummed about that yeah it is funny he's like man if she's dead i'm gonna be sad that'll be bad for me if she died like that i haven't heard any movement outside in a few hours but i'm terrified to open the door i'm far from the seat outlet so my phone's almost dead and i haven't eaten him way too long if i go out there flight attendants remember what if that thing is still waiting for people i don't have much time to make a decision but i'll update you all here with what happens next end of part two I think this story so far needs more meat on its bones things are happening too quickly like the whole idea of having a line that says of a character saying don't cough and then the next line is we tried to hold it in but we coughed seems a bit yeah yeah it's like you can just go to the other part also wanted more time with having the flight attendants you know being like we've had them be you know creepy and they're smiling and crying and stuff I like that I like the hook of the flight attendants won't stop crying and stuff.

1:36:39I want more. We're on the last part. Part three. Yeah. I want to have a bit more going on. I feel like stuff happens really quickly. Like this girl's here then she dies. But it's also just, you know, it's a really short story. You know, maybe they just want to write a really short story. Get like the main horror element across rather than a lot of the fluff to it. Kind of like a goosebumps thing, you know, like a super short little, here's what happened. So I can't fault that. I think it's a good premise. I think you could do more with it. Part three. After another dozen hours or so, dozen hours.

1:37:19It's been, he's been, he's been, so I wanted to say he's been, he's been on this plane for like 50 hours. I just want to say that. Yes. Yeah. Several days at this point. At what point are you like, you know what? Take me just fucking take. Yeah, exactly. I would rather die. What am I going to do? Live on a plane forever? Fuck this. Yeah. I'll live back here and hide in this bathroom. That'll be a good way to not die because I guess you can't die if you're already dead. What do you do, Hunter? You're sitting back there and you look and there's flight attendants and there's the devil in a black robe at the front of the plane.

1:37:51I'd probably say I goofed. I fucked up. What'd I do? You're just like, oh, me? I flew to I flew to Japan And that was like a 13 hour flight The thought of being on an airplane For 37 more hours Like I would I would just open the latch And I would jump That's what I Also what am I gonna What am I gonna hide Do you think you're hiding on a plane You're in the back bathroom You're not hiding from anything the whole idea of the guy be like would they remember me yeah they probably fucking would they've seen you here in the bathroom they know where the bathroom yeah exactly the woman screamed your name as they pulled her through to give it to the devil i wonder if they remember that here yeah

1:38:51am I wrong? I don't know. I mean, I mean, yeah, there's not really, I don't, I don't know what else he can do in the situation though, other than die or just stay there. Right. Die. Die. Okay. All right. Well, you know, fair enough. The lights in the cabin were back to normal and I couldn't smell any sulfur. I cautiously made my way back to my seat and almost cried when the grinning, crying flight attendant came by offering a meal. crappy airline food was the most delicious thing I'd ever eaten when I'd finished my mind immediately turned to me what had happened to her he waited until he got done eating to think about her he'd have his in-flight meal oh wait oh fuck wait what happened that girl that died that girl that's dead oh no I crept down the aisle towards first class trying to keep a low profile it's an aisle it's a play hall you can't only be so low profile Surprisingly, the flight attendants were nowhere to be seen.

1:39:48They almost seemed to ignore me. Almost as if they wanted me to find her. She had a row to herself and was staring down at her phone in the window seat. I slid into the aisle and shook her arm. Mary! She pulled out her headphones and stared at me with a surprised expression. Yeah? What's going on? Are you okay? What did that thing do to you? What did they do to you? I'm sorry. Remind me how I know you? But what do you mean we just... I realized with sinking horror that she had no idea who I was. Fought back tears. Mary, how long have you been on this flight? She checked the watch on her wrist.

1:40:23That's 4.03 a.m., so a few hours at least. She stared at me the same way you'd look at a person claiming they were the second coming of Christ. Her tone was low and reassuring. Hey, don't worry too much. Look on the bright side. We'll be landing in about an hour. I felt an iron grip on my arm and looked up to see two flight attendants. Sir, this area is for first class passengers only. They were still crying and grinning, but just tears this time. I could still see streaks of blood standing in the front of their uniforms, though. I was escorted back to my seat where I spent the next several days.

1:40:59Attendants continued to stop by with food. I would use the bathroom and soon was going absolute crazy with the monotony. In retrospect, those few days weren't so bad. there's a lot of content on the internet after all even with the crappy playing wifi no it didn't get really bad until around 10 days later when the wifi failed I like how the wifi failing is him like alright it's time for this to be over no wifi kill me with a gun I went to die it was sometime a week later dude a week I've been on here for like two weeks at this point imagine sitting in the same that's torture fucking torture Yeah.

1:41:37It was sometime a week later that I lost control and began screaming for a flight attendant. It took him that long. That is longer than it would take you to break. Me? They didn't come for several minutes, but eventually one did. Just let me see the captain. The flight attendant bent low and spoke with the same customer service voice. I'm sorry, sir. The captain has made his decision regarding you quite clear. You didn't answer his call and will, therefore... Wait. How long? Quite a while, I'm afraid. Don't worry though, sir. We'll be landing in about an hour. She straightened and walked away.

1:42:11That's funny. It's like the devil was up there like, oh, I just need to punch your ticket so you can like, you know, not go to hell. Yeah. I mean, it kind of makes it seem like this time. Let her leave. You know, that's what he gets. That's what he gets for not walking up. He has to be in plain time prison forever.

1:42:33Let me out. nope sorry sir go back in the back in the fuselage I started making notches on various parts of the seat back to keep track of different things one notch for each time I used the bathroom one for each meal one for every time I watched a given movie that sort of thing it was hell I watched every movie in the seat back a dozen times over if I ever acted out badly enough I would be escorted back to my seat by one or more flight attendants any attempt at conversation with other passengers was met with confusion by them followed by a quick escort back to my seat i'd guess it was on or around day 30 that oh my gosh you know okay so this is actually cooler like i like the idea of the horror isn't oh there's something creepy in the plane it's like the he's in here forever like he's stuck in the same plane over and over that's cool i guess it was around day 30 that in a moment of panic and psychosis i broke my laptop and phone screaming at the top of my lungs.

1:43:34No one around me reacted in any way. Two months later, I stunk. Muscles in my legs were tight and cramped constantly. I finally concluded that suicide was my only option after my 128 rewatch of Thor Ragnarok. Actually, that's a pretty good solution to come to after watching that movie. It's funny because I made the Captain America joke earlier. Unintentional bear trap. That's always fun to have. I got to my feet and limped towards the emergency. Oh, wait, I've got, I have a soundboard now with this new setup. Oh, good. Let me see. Give me one. Hold on. Let me hit. This is becoming very professional.

1:44:13I don't know. I don't think you can hear it. Cause it's just an OBS, but I've got like the trombone. That's pretty good. Right. I'm sure it sounds good to them. I've got an air horn. Hope she liked that. It's still going. I got crickets I got applause this is great because I can hit you with these without you knowing it I've got chimes oh I've got a rim shot yeah there we go excellent so a monster what's that sound like

1:44:48oh is this like does this make my voice sound like a monster oh and without this one it sounds like a small robot now I can pitch my voice up whatever that means does this sound good everyone just play I think this is attention gamers attention gamers yeah that was a good that was a good side sidestep in the middle of the episode for no reason what were you about to say you think what oh nothing I got to my feet and limped towards the emergency exit. I knew normally the pressure inside the airplane forced the doors close, but I figured that nothing about my situation was normal. If this didn't work, I'd find some other, more painful way to go.

1:45:37Grabbed at the handle and swung it up. To my shock, the door opened easily, though no wind of any kind whipped around the cabin. Remained the standard, slightly too cold temperature that it had been for the past who knew how long. Hunter realistically you should kill yourself after two days right that's what I mean if you think about it that's what I need to do he has the mental fortitude of like I mean I trained I mean like really think about being on a plane for I mean two days is probably I mean like it's a long time but I think honestly around a week of everyone the crying flight attendants and no one's like acting like it's weird and they keep saying an hour I feel like you would think something was going on, right?

1:46:20Well, it would just be so uncomfortable. It would be so uncomfortable. That's why I'm like, I think your muscles would start fucking up way before two months. I think you being, you would your legs would probably get all locked up and shit. Yeah. Yeah, I suppose. I don't know. I feel like I'd kill myself a lot sooner. Oh, trust me. I mean, I would immediately. I'm just saying for, I think people could probably handle it for a bit. Yeah, we've established you would halfway through the pre-designated flight time. Yeah, I I would be already be diving for that fucking door. I'd have to be holding you back in the, exactly.

1:46:55They're like, they're like, no, sure. No. And I'm like, get on me. That's what I'd be doing the whole time. Let me go. Let me go to God. The open door called to me a black portal out of the plane. I stared at it for a long moment, almost too long. An attendant's hand grabbed my shoulder, pulling me away. A fit of anger and strength that surprised me. I reached away and jumped out of the plane. the wind whipping past my face almost magical a new sensation after so many months of the same the ocean below me grew closer larger and i realized that suddenly i didn't want to die after all great time it grew larger and larger and larger until it seemed that all i could see was darkness and waves i impacted the surface of the water so fast and hard that my entire body jerked around in the seat pulled my hand back sucking at my bruised knuckle i'd hit it on the seat in front of me.

1:47:49I whispered, then shouted, No, no, no, no! A flight attendant ran down the aisle, kneeling beside me. Are you okay, sir? I clenched my hands in a fist, almost swinging at her. Then I realized she wasn't grinning. She wasn't crying. To be honest, she looked a little scared of me. I reached my right hand down to my pocket, where I could feel my now unbroken phone. 4.04 a.m. Sir, if you can calm down, we'll be landing in about an hour. My mouth tasted like ash. Thank you. I will. I stared on blinking at my phone. Now displayed, 4.05 a.m. Then I looked out my window and began to cry at the sight of city lights below me.

1:48:31We did land in about an hour. Can't even begin to explain why or how, but I'm currently sitting in an airport cafe typing this out. I'm free. I'm out. and I'm never going flying again. The end. Well, there's an edit at the end that says, I sure hope the bartender here at the airport just has a naturally wide grin, but that was an edit, so it doesn't count. So the end.

1:48:55Well, someone said, 30 hours, Kanye reference? That's the top fly.

1:49:03Say this, never saw this coming. Well, you're not alone. Like, thank you. That's a good takeaway.

1:49:12that's the story

1:49:17what you're not a fan it's not your favorite I guess I'll say this I guess I'll say that the idea is interesting although I don't know I mean it's a plain purgatory thing and then also there's just a bunch of I guess snooty little complaints I have I feel like maybe aren't even beneficial but But it just, as always, with a lot of these things that are just, they go by so quick, is that you just need a bit more time with the characters. Like, I don't really think I even give a fuck about the main character or Mary or anything. Like, there's nothing that really grounded me to them to maybe, like, you know.

1:49:53I can be sympathetic to a situation of, like, yeah, being on this plane would suck. But, like, really being invested into the character, you know, is such an important part of writing and storytelling. telling that like you can have the creepy weird like smiling attendance but like i just i just wish there was more more of everything also everything was just kind of like i don't know it's just it seems like this this this story seems like it was kind of just a bit of an afterthought like it just seemed like somebody who's just like i'm gonna write this my free time like or on my break my lunch break i'm gonna write on my lunch break at work i i feel which is fine i mean why on it right I've posted stuff like that before I feel like the time should have been spent on the several months rather than the months coming at the end of the third part I think that was more interesting I think it's a cool concept it seems to me the idea at the end is like you've got to escape you have to like want to be out so him jumping out of the planes kind of like him saying he's leaving you could interpret it as the whole it's all just a dream thing but sounds more so to me like he was in a test of sorts that the captain put up or the devil or whatever.

1:51:03So it had little touches. I wish there was more. I wish there was more time spent. Like my favorite parts of the story were like, oh, I started writing scratches on the back of the seat to see how long I'd been there. That's cool to me. The idea of like a seat in an aisle becoming a sort of purgatory or like a prison cell that you're keeping tally marks and stuff inside of. I wanted more of that. So it certainly has potential. I like the concept more than anything, I think. And this was one of the author's first stories and he has a ton. so I'd be interested in seeing what else they did or like more recent stuff they did at some point, but seemed pretty prolific on no sleep.

1:51:37There's meat there. I'd like to see it expanded on somewhat, but I thought it was fun. I thought it was a fun read. Not everything has to be super long and stuff. It's just, no, I'm not advocating. I'm not advocating for things to be long. I just think like, I think just like giving more time of like, what are we trying to accomplish with this section and stuff? Like, I think, like, the idea of being stuck on it, like, even, like, even a 12-hour flight is long, you know? So getting to, like, 30 hours is insane. That's, like, a very insane thing. I think if I had to parallel it with any other stories, I'm at the Glenmont Metro shoot me, whatever.

1:52:16I don't think that story was the longest. That's what I was thinking of. I don't think that is the longest story, but I think it has enough meat on its bones that it is like when you first get into it, it feels like the first waves feel like eternity until after a while when the person telling the story has been around it so long that eons are passing. you know like to the to the reader it's as simple as that because we've already built up this thing to where now it's like you know months are meaningless because i've been here eons so it's like it's it's time moves relatively fast the longer in the story that it appears to go but i think like building that up more and building i think like and this is all obviously hindsight whatever sure you know it is what it is i'm just saying for the for the for the thought of discussion and stuff like that that you know if you have a character doing this like establishing i think like maybe establishing a bit of the rules and then also just the kind of general chaotic nature of this i mean like a guy not freaking out and stuff is is crazy whatever like him just kind of be like oh okay and like the people come over and all they really say is like sir you're gonna have to calm down like after a while he would probably like he'd probably say go fuck yourself or something and then like what's that repercussion look like if he's not being amicable that way you know what i mean but also just having it be a thing if i jumped out the window or i jumped out the door and now my plane's landing that didn't feel like very satisfying or earned to me or whatever you know what i mean yeah it did kind of hurry up real quick it'd be cool if there was like hints he got at it like maybe he saw someone else wordlessly do it thinking they killed themselves but then at the end he realizes they made it off maybe there's a couple other people who also seem to be in the same state of purgatory maybe one of them gets like one of them just disappears one of them jumps out of the plane like uh again it's more i think more i think there were good pieces but more would help it in certain ways but for what it was it was fun it was just a little like plain purgatory story right did you have fun isaiah yeah i had fun i had fun talking about flight plan flight plan's pretty good flight plan's pretty funny so i looked at the end of it and apparently she becomes like some no no tell me i want to watch it i don't don't tell me i want to watch it okay okay i want to watch it and i think you i think uh i think just playing around more with like what's going on outside we only see outside once in the ocean you know what i mean or whatever yeah yeah which is just the it's supposed to be a dark ocean or whatever but i don't know fucking pull out some twilight zone shit is like do you see the captain on the wing like how crazy would it be if they're just like oh my god I think I see somebody oh that's the captain what isn't hold on isn't there an old Twilight episode where the premise is yeah it's William Shatner there's something on the plane some yeah it's like the best right that's like the best fucking Twilight Zone episode ever how does it end so he gets off the so this is such a good fucking it first off I just want to be an advocate I'm going to use the end of this episode to talk about this if you If no one's seen the Twilight Zone episode from the 60s, it is so good.

1:55:38It's still so good. My God. But the William Shatner episode is probably the most popular. But it's awesome. It makes no sense. It's so stupid. It's like him being like, it's a guy who's afraid of flying, and he's had a mental breakdown, and then now he is okay. His mental hospital doctor says it's okay that he can go home. Right? so to conquer his fear until i test it out he is going to fly home and he's like kind of being sporadic and people know that on the flight that hey this is a guy that is having like you know he's kind of a mentally unwell man right so then while he's flying there's this fucking like hairy goblin on the wing and i'm like on this wing and he's like oh my god and he's like freaking out the fucking the the the guy is like hacking at the wing and he's freaking out and he takes out a gun and he's getting ready to do this stuff like all this different shit blah blah blah i'm not gonna whatever but it ends with everyone's like oh he's crazy again right oh he didn't make it he fucking you know pulled out a gun blah blah all that stuff but then the camera pans out and then you see that the wing is all fucked up that he was actually telling the truth the monster was real it's awesome it's really good so the whole premise is there's he sees a monster on the wing and he tries to stop it and it's like oh he's crazy but then there was actually a monster on the wing so they all die no no no they land the plane and the reason that's so good is because you are also questioning is William Shatner fucking insane right so them landing the plane you're also just kind of like oh yeah I guess he was a nut until it pulls out and then you see the things all fucked up and it's like oh no he was telling the And also the Twilight Zone movie from the 80s or wherever it sucks.

1:57:28Don't fucking watch that. Just watch the 60s version of the show. So good. Love it so much. But anyways, the whole point of that, though, is there's a clear, I think just establishing a clear motive of what is going on. Use the story in the context of the environment. It can be a purgatory plane and stuff, but is there something that that relates to with the character? your themes need to always be revolving around your character and stuff like that i say always but i just mean generally it's a good idea to have yeah it'd be something that your character is a driving force to all the things that are happening and everything and there could be outside evil forces that are coming in and doing stuff but i think the entire motivation should be based around your main character or that kind of thing at least that like i said in the in a basic matter that's i'm sure there's other works that do it good but yeah so all in all it's a fun idea but you know i enjoyed talking about flight plan i enjoyed even just riffing on what i would do with the flight attendants and how i would be a brave man and a white knight myself and uh also just as you are in real life and just the idea of a plane coming down and it just keeps raising back up and the kind of like fucking mental torture that would be or even the baby eating thing out out of those did you like the baby eating thing or did you like the out the ass being blown out thing more i think the baby eating thing kind of it's a more because it's a different one to be like i'm gonna die but it's like oh i've got to kill someone i've got to kill someone that probably doesn't know what life is yet i have to take a life before it's had a chance to live like actually that's probably good like that's probably even a better thing is what if you had to eat someone's spouse you had to eat a wife's husband so he's like a fully conscious man who's like i'm in the middle.

1:59:13So just a guy? Yeah. Just a guy? A baby doesn't know what's going on. I mean, it's sad. Right, right. But I like how you phrase eating a man as a wife's spouse. Well, I meant a spouse and I was like I wanted to specify that it was the husband. My thoughts were not arranged there correctly, but also known as a wife's spouse. Is that not correct? A husband? I mean, it's a complicated way to say husband, but yeah. My thoughts were collected there. But I will say, if you had to eat a full man, like not even just part of it, you had to eat him bones and all. And the flight attendants, they could be crying and shit, and they put like apple butter over it, and it makes the bones soft.

1:59:58He's even like, I didn't think I'd be able to eat through the bones, but I was able to dig through because they put something on it, and it made it all soft and squishy like Jell-O. Right? Right. Sure. yeah that'd be that'd be awesome dude yeah i'm just all right you know what i never mind then never mind thank you guys so much for watching this show uh our most recent comment on the patreon is someone commented and said i just want to get pig roasted by you too man i'm sorry am i over sharing now is that too much no i just i would love a comment that just says something like, you know what?
