Jacob remained silent for a while.. He couldn't hear anyone outside so he didn't waste his voice in calling out for help,it would only exhaust him.
And after a moment the lights went out.The unfortunate events followed one another.
His biggest fear had practically come true. He was trapped in a narrow place in full darkness. He closed his eyes and tried to empty his mind as much as he could. The only thing he could think about in the end was him. His eyes,his voice,his smell,the touch of his hand. Even if it was all his fault,while bringing him to his mind he felt at ease.
And snap! The door cracked open..The emergency lights went on as well. Jacob crawled cautiously out of the bathroom. He could hear people running and yelling,sirens too. The terminals were occupied by chaos.
Security guards,employees,the police and even fire fighters were all over the place calming people down and guiding them away.
What in the world happened...?
He stood up slowly and then he saw it. A plane had caught on fire along with some airport buses that must have been nearby. It had litterally split in half and there wasn't anything clear left to see. It was the plane he was supposed to board,wasn't it... He felt extremely fainty and stood speechless staring at the flames.
Suddenly someone grabbed his shoulder. He flickered before he turned around to see it was just a security guard. Who exactly was he expecting it to be? He felt dissapointed and stupid at the same time.
''Excuse me sir, we are evacuating. There will be no more flights today. You will have to alter your ticket later on. We apologise for the inconvience. Please follow the crowd towards the exit.'' he told him quickly.
''No..I was supposed to board that flight..'' Jacob replied in an almost whispering tone.
The guard kept silent for a second.
''You must have a guardian angel or something. There were no survivors from this flight..''
