Final Destination
Alex Banning looked at the plane as he got close to it. He felt a strange kind of fear as he walked into the plane. He sat down in the last isle near a black guy. He closed his eyes when suddenly they snapped open. "Hello" the black guy said
"Hello" Alex said
"Have you ever had a feeling that today would be the day you die." The black guy asked him.
"I have been felling it since this morning" Alex told the black guy.
"What if I told you today would be the day you die" the black guy asked Alex.
"I would say you were crazy." Alex said to the black guy. "What's your name anyway?" Alex asked
"Call me Thanatos." Thanatos said. "Would you believe me if I say this plane is going to explode."
"I would still say you were crazy." Alex said.
"Well, I am going to show you something that you can't deny." The black guy said grabbing Alex's arm.
"What the hell are you doing" Alex said but then the black guy disappeared. He then saw everything that would happen from the plane blowing up to the highway crash to the rollercoaster accident and then the racecar accident and how everybody who got off started dying. He saw the gore and then the torment. He gasped when he got out of that trance. Then the black guy let go of his arm.
"Here's what I am going to do." Thanatos told Alex. "I'm going to let you get off the plane as long as nobody else goes with you. Just you, understand." Alex got up from his seat went to the teacher told her he was sorry but he couldn't make this flight and walked off the plane, back into the airport. He then watched from the airport as the plane went up off the runway and into the sky. He saw the plane blow up and went to the airport convenience store.
He bought a pack of cigarettes and was fixing to walk out the door when Thanatos stopped him. "I've got good news and bad news" Thanatos said.
"Weren't you on the plane?" Alex asked Thanatos.
"Yes, I was" Thanatos said. "You know who I am, don't you Alex."
"You're Death" Alex answered.
"Yes" Thanatos answered "The good news is you are going to live for 80 more years."
"That's lovely" Alex said lighting his cigarette. "What's the bad news?"
"A group of people got off the plane behind you" Thanatos said
"That's impossible." Alex said "I got off the plane. It flew into the sky and blew up. Nobody came with me out of it."
"That's because they were stuck in the air terminal due to a door jam. They are all nice and well now."
"Why the hell did they get off" Alex said angrily. "I didn't tell them that the plane was going to blow up"
"Somebody else had a vision." Thanatos said. "And frankly I don't have it in me anymore to kill them. I am tired of finding clandestine means of making it look like an accident or suicide. That's where you come in."
"What are you talking about?" Alex said
"Walk with me" Thanatos said. They both walked out of the air port and waited beside the curb. Thanatos looked to see if anyone was around. When he saw that none was there he reached into his jacket and brought out a small wooden pine box. Alex opened the box to find a white 9mm Beretta staring up at him.
"So let me get this straight," Alex said. "You want me to kill them"
"Yes" Thanatos said.
"Will I get caught?" Alex asked.
"That all depends on you." Thanatos said.
"Well then this is good buy." Alex said raising his hand to shake Death's.
"So you will do it" Thanatos asked.
"To the best of my ability." Alex said. He took the wooden pine box from Thanatos and carried it to a dirt mound beside the airport and buried it. He was going to return here later on tonight and retrieve it. Thanatos had disappeared.
