A Helpless Plea Ignored

The flight attendant’s firm tone cut through the cabin, telling Beatrice she had to leave or face security. Beatrice’s heart dropped and panic set in. She thought of calling her daughter, believing that might help clear up this mess. Her hands shook as she fumbled for her phone, feeling desperate and scared.

But the flight attendant’s cold stare stayed fixed and she showed no sympathy. The entire cabin was filled with whispers and nervous glances as everyone watched. Beatrice felt utterly helpless, like her voice didn’t matter at all. What was supposed to be a joyful trip had quickly spiraled into a lonely and frightening nightmare.
