OBFUSCATE: A "Rig" Missing Scene
knoteach

Oh, God, why the hell am I here?
I haven't flown since…let's not go there.

But Jim needs me, what if he fell into a zone,
Because I let him come out here alone?

Fight the panic, Sandburg, this is nothing,
Remember to control your breathing!

Useless to panic anyway, we're already aloft.
I know I'm rambling, Jim probably thinks I'm daft.

Sometimes I think I am too, but fears must be faced.
I've left this one too long, and now I've been forced

Can a person hyperventilate even while talking?
Maybe, but what's can I do when memories come stalking?

Alright, let's get Jim in this conversation, something natural.
"Would you look at that ocean? It's so raw ... so primal."

That was a bust, Jim didn't say more than a couple words,
And great, the pilot tells us that's a storm we're headed towards.

Elation, that's the only word for what I feel as we land,
How am I going to do the trip back to the mainland?
