#805 Flying- Thomas Glave


#805 Flying- Thomas Glave

Craig is a flight attendant for an airline. He has taken around 200 flight by now and he uses the time to ponder his life. He thinks about his native Curacao, his culture, the way the world thinks about him. Most of all he thinks back on his love, Mercedes. The good, the bad, full of regret and full of false promise. He is bitter and forlorn. He flies and he wishes they would all let him have his peace.

“They were at it again: breaking in. He might be a million miles away from all of them, safe, clean, at peace, and they would insist on breaking in.”

Freedom is unattainable.

Notable Passage: “The one thing there will always be, finally, is time.”
