Flight 1079: The Timer On The Bulkhead

Short Fiction by G. Massy

Captain Krenshaw MacDermitt is a veteran airline pilot loved and trusted by many. Unlike most pilots, the captain socializes with his passengers while in flight. He always manages to find a troubled few on the trip from New York to L.A., and in some way, touch their hearts. For thirteen years he has been known for his interactions with the passengers, but this New Year's Eve, the trip will be different than the others. His so-called 'Friends in Flight' will see a new side of Captain Krenshaw MacDermitt. Tonight will be a New Year's party like no other; for the passengers of Flight 1079.
