I knew his face from the missing posters that were all over my town a few months back. It was unmistakable: the brown eyes, curly hair, and mole just under the left eye. There were billboards, even, and news segments on the boy, until someone else was murdered or kidnapped and he faded into the background of the next great story. But that was him, and he was with a much older man, sitting at an ai...
As I am blending in the massive airport drinking the expensive water bottle, I hear the female voice of Laswell into my earpiece informing “Alright guys…remember what you’re here for and it’s for the target.” As she continues to inform me and the team, I look around in the airport blending in my outfit hearing the massive voices of people visiting and leaving the airport. I nod as I continue to lo...

The continuous sounds of my heels in the glossy floor of the airport became an eerie, distant whisper as my head started to throb. I rubbed my temples as I dragged my suitcase out of security. A wave of nausea followed shortly as if telling me to back away. Don't go, don't go. I fished into my bag and pulled out the tickets. I waited in line, smiling around at strangers, most the children dressed ...
I see a person in the airport, about to get on flight 911. I go up to the person to ask where flight 99 line was. The person then turns around and growls. I realize it’s a zombie!
I run as fast as I can.
I then go into the bathrooms to hide. I don’t hear anybody in the bathroom, so I know I’m safe. I then hear footsteps coming from the distance.
I try and hop on the next plane, even if it’s not ...

Ming sat down beside me.
“When I was little my parents were the best people in the world at least to me they were. Especially my Dad he was so nice and he always helped me do right. But when he passed my Mother her heart turned. She became full of hatred. Next thing I knew I was this. I was the school bully picking on every new student. I’m sorry Ming. I really am.” I said.
“I don’t...

I’m supposed to be in a car on the way to my parents place for the holiday. But instead, I’m tucked in a janitor’s closet hiding from zombies. As soon as we landed, all hell broke loose! One of those things was on the plane with us. I watched him take a bite out of a flight attendant’s neck. Everyone got spooked, ...
I woke up on the floor in Terminal H. The airport was completely empty and my hands were soaked in blood.
I stood up and pressed my palm against my temple, wincing in pain. There was a high pitched noise ringing in my ears and my lungs were sore.
I could not remember anything. Not even my name. I dragged my feet to terminal K.
I had to figure out where the blood came from and I needed to find...
Wilma hated airports. She couldn’t imagine anything more boring than sitting and waiting to board a plane where she would be rewarded with even more sitting and waiting.
She flexed her legs. She scooted around in the uncomfortable plastic seat beneath her. She turned on her phone. Then, she turned it off. Then, she turned it on again. She stretched her arms like she was preparing to run a 10k. Sh...
I’m anything but typical, predictable. I like it that way.
It’s safe to say most wouldn’t understand my brain, fuck half the time I don’t understand it.
Maybe that’s what’s wrong with our world, we’re always trying to figure why someone did something. They probably did it because they wanted to, isn’t that what we all do?
I stopped trying to figure out why I do things a while ago but it even s...
