Watching Brenda’s Indifference
Brenda’s casual munching on a bag of pretzels felt like a slap in the face. Here we were, knee-deep in chaos, while she acted as though she had all the time in the world. “Can you believe this?” I muttered to the passenger beside me, who responded with a silent shake of his head, sharing my frustration. Each crunch of her pretzels seemed to magnify the tension in the air. Meanwhile, Jacob remained absorbed in his drawing, blissfully unaware of the growing unease around him.

Then, cutting through the cabin’s noise, Brenda’s voice erupted—a sharp, forceful shout directed at someone nearby. It silenced the row instantly, leaving everyone frozen in stunned disbelief.
