Summary: Sands thinks about his new life on the plane ride home.

Up, up, up we go. The plane has just reached full altitude and the captain has turned off the seatbelt sign. I am now free to roam the plane, but am advised not to unless absolutely necessary. I can hear the contents of the plane as the noise ensconce my ears. Behind me, a couple coming back from their vacation, sounds like newlyweds from the giddy flirtatious tones of their voices. How sickening. To the left of me, a baby screaming it's head off. Jesus Christ, can't it's mother just pop her tit out , feed it, and get it over with instead of trying to coo it to sleep. Of course not. Because that would be the smart thing to do, and we all know that there's hardly anyone who possesses that trait any more. And to the left of me is the fuckmook who has been asleep since take-off. Take-off, ha, imagine that. Who the hell falls asleep during take-off? Hell I didn't even know that was possible. I guess you really do learn something new everyday. Oh well, no use getting distraught over these people. There's nothing I can do about it so might as well just ignore them best I can. Besides, I'm pretty good at drowning people out and still manage to make it appear as if I'm paying full attention. I've done it half my life. Yes sure we Bob. Just got to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. I'm going home.

Home. And where is home exactly? I kind of lost my home when I broke up with Jill before I left for Mexico. So why didn't I find a place to come back to before I left? Oh that's right, I didn't expect to be back this soon and figured I'd have plenty of time to do that when the time came. So much for that brilliant idea. Come to think of it, that's got to be the stupidest thing I've done. Well, aside from thinking I could actually trust that bitch Ajendrez. Woo wee, now that was stupid.

Trust. That's another thing I've lost this lovely week. Granted I haven't trust a whole lot of people in my life time, but there was still a select few. But now all trust has gone out the window. How could I trust somebody now? To truly trust someone, you have to be able to read them. Can't exactly do that now. Well there's another thing the devil herself cost me. The ability to trust and most importantly, read people. And I'm almost positive she's completely changed my outlook on woman forever. Evil things really. I don't care what anybody saids, woman are conniving, manipulative, deceiving creatures. I don't think I'll ever be able to be with a woman again. Actually no, scratch that. The occasional fuck wouldn't hurt any. I'm sure there's plenty of woman who would take pity on the blind man. But, then again, the world is a cruel place filled with many hateful people. Oh fuck me! With all these wild thoughts running through my head I'm bound to spend many a sleepless night.

Sleepless nights. Ha, no kidding. I haven't had a decent night's sleep since this whole event happened. Every god dammed time I close my eyes I see that drill coming towards me, and her laughing face mocking me. But, just like the insufferable people on this plane, I'll just have to ignore it. This is, afterall, my new life. And what a start it has been. I have no eyes to see the world with now so I'll just have to play it by ear, literally. Rely on my senses to get me through. In fact, maybe it won't be so bad afterall. If anything, it will prove to be interesting, that's for sure. It'll be a challenge, and I love a good challenge. Yes, this is my new life, and I'm gonna welcome it with opened arms.
