Karen’s Glance
Karen stood silently beside the rows of seats, her gaze sweeping over the faces around her. It was as if she were gauging the dwindling reserves of patience among the passengers. The tension in the air was palpable, a shared unease impossible to overlook. Brenda’s stubbornness was taking its toll on everyone, and I could almost see the wheels turning in Karen’s mind as she calculated whether this was the moment when everything would finally unravel.

The Announcement
A sudden crackle from the PA system silenced the cabin, drawing every eye and ear to the announcement. “Ladies and gentlemen, due to unforeseen circumstances, we must ask a passenger to disembark,” the voice echoed, calm but firm. My heart jolted as I realized they meant Brenda. A wave of surprise rippled through the aisles, passengers exchanging puzzled and uneasy glances. The turn of events was abrupt—unexpected, yes—but under the circumstances, it felt oddly fitting, almost like an unspoken resolution taking shape.
