Prologue: The Trip

A depressed-looking boy sits alone staring out from the window he's next to, looking lazily at the landscape. He's on a trip with a number of children his age to a Summer Camp situated on the outskirts of the plains of Africa.

Pilot via Speaker: We are now coming into the plains of Serengeti, filled with all sorts of wildlife!

Boy (thinking): Duh!

All the children's attention is diverted to the windows. Some, much to the boy's displeasure, were leaning over him to get a better look.

Boy (thinking): Aw man! This is just what I need! "Hey kids! Check out deserted Serengeti!" We are far too high up to see anything!

The boy rolls his eyes and diverts his attention to the plane's wing. There is something dangling from the inside of it. He squints his eyes up trying to see what's there. Then it hits him- during flight they must have collided with a bird of some sort and part of it was hanging out. From what he'd heard these sort of things can damage increasing the chance of engine failure. The boy shows a little fear in his eyes.

Boy: Umm. Stewardess? Stewardess? A young woman comes up to the boy. Stewardess: Yes?

Boy: Uh do you reckon that's a safety hazard?

He points at the severed bird.

Stewardess: Oh don't worry I'll check it out for you!

The Stewardess walks towards the cockpit leaving the Boy dumbstruck.

Boy (thinking): She didn't even look at the bird. oh no.

These sort of things happened when he was in for a humiliating time. He hated it. Even if he was right that didn't stop them from throwing taunts and laughing at him.

Pilot via Speaker: This is a personal message to the boy sitting in seat 67.

Everyone's eyes fell on him.

Pilot via Speaker: Now don't you worry about that li'l bird there now. Just shut the curtains and that'll protect ye from the nasty bird.

That's when the onslaught began but this it wasn't just the kids who were laughing, all the adults joined in too. They surrounded him to throw taunts and jeers.

Pilot via Speaker: .and also kid, a bird ain't no safety hazard! Yeah, that's right kid, the propellers are gonna clog 'cause o' some bird an' we're all gonna die! Huh, you son, are one Class A nut ya know that? Class. A.

Everyone laughed harder than ever before.

Pilot via Speaker: Aaaaaaahhhhhhh nnoooooo!!!! It's the bird! Noooo!!!! Ah can hear the explosion coming now; 3. 2.1.

BOOOM!

Pilot via Speaker: What the heck!

The boy looked out his window. The wing was on fire and the plane's nose was going down extremely fast. Everyone was screaming except for the boy who was stunned into silence. The children fell forward due to the gravity were piled on top of each other. The boy still had his seatbelt on so he left suspended as the plane plummeted. He forced himself to look out the window. They were fast approaching the jungle nearby the Serengeti's plains. He closed his eyes his tightly and on impact he no longer needed to.
