Eyes Wide Open

For a moment I thought I was asleep I look to the right of me and I see an older women staring into the deep that’s in front of her. She had just ordered some sea salt peanuts. “What should I do”? As I reach for her hand that is clinched to the chair, I hear more screams coming from behind me “I just wanted to visit my aunt sally” she expressed Her chair begins to move I keep still “Oh, please” she moans Crack’ Her chair tips at the edge and falls down into the deep where there is smoke and darkness I begin to pray as I feel my own seat will not hold me for much longer I should have just stayed asleep I thought It would have been much faster wait, I feel someone behind me, oh yes is someone going to save me “Hold tight”I heard I try to turn to look but the pain of my neck wouldn’t allow it I thought what would I do if I got outta here I close my eyes and before you knew it I was free falling, looking down at my end with my eyes wide open.
