Shipwreck Writing Challenge : Round Three | Love is in the air...and madness, too
Love is in the air and... madness too
Since one of my first science classes, I knew the tragic history of the Hindenburg, I do not know if by masochism or by my need to experience that tingling that makes me adrenaline when I know I'm in danger, I always wanted to travel in airship.
I grew up with that illusion fueled by the idea that there should be no better way to fly, only comparable to the one I felt when I launched in free fall from an airplane, than the placidity of floating in an airship.
So when I learned that the people of Airlander had bravely assumed the construction of large-scale airships, and maintained their goal despite the incident of August 2016, I decided to start saving so that my girlfriend Brenda and I could have a magical trip. and mysterious in one of them in a semi-secret test flight that would cross the English Channel from Southampton to Bayeux.
As the number of passengers was just under 30, we had inside that giant of more than 3 thousand square meters of plant, a lot of space to hide and make our sexual antics that after almost three years together have increased in intensity and frequency.
However, it happened what no one, perhaps except me, wanted to happen and the Airlander 10, once again experienced a failure, but this time it began to turn, gently, around its vertical axis, just before passing over the emblematic Isle of Wight.
I felt and was, certainly, in heaven, while Brenda looked at me with a mixture of fear and mischief.
We listened to the pilot ask the 30 souls who accompanied him to the side of the 10 crew to maintain the calm that would soon stabilize the colossal vehicle.
However, I asked Brenda to accompany me to execute a different modality of the emergency procedure they explained us.
And if we jump by parachute, the worst thing that can happen to us is that we get shipwrecked for a while somewhere in a remote part of the island.
And my beautiful girlfriend, who sometimes I think, is crazier than me, decided to attend my invitation and in less than ten minutes we took out the two parachutes with which we aspired to make a controlled descent from the Cathedral of Bayeux and, with the complicity of a beautiful French stewardess, we prepare to launch ourselves into the void.
I really believe that this pretty girl should have been fired after this test trip because when she gave us access to what is the baggage unloading area and opened the door, she had to violate at least one hundred flight regulations.
She definitely connected with Brenda's emotion and mine.
We felt the current of air, accelerated a little by the turn of the Airlander, of very low speed what was propitious for our adventure, the great risk defined it the moment to jump because, we could fall not in the Isle of Wight but somewhere of the ocean if we calculated wrong.
We waited about five more minutes to try to make the image of the Isle of Wight resemble a large savanna that would cover the Airlander, which at that time would probably be flying at a little over 1000 meters, and we launched.
Brenda screamed and I instinctively, too, I did, though later every time she did it during those fifteen minutes that lasted our journey to the Isle of Wight.
We were lucky because we fell very close to The Orchards Holiday Park and the visitors thought that we were part of some attraction of that recreation center.
Anyway, when we finally landed, and after the applause of those present, the security officers of the institution detained and warned us, until the police of the village of Newbridge came to whom we were lucky enough to please them and decided to give us money to spend the night while we found a way to return to England.
The Airlander arrived in Bayeux and to us, it seems that they did not miss us very much. We were really lucky.
Nice story would like to try one of these soon, reading this story gives me the chills.
I appreciate your reading and comments. Thanks a lot.
Interesante historia @mjcarvajalp, creo que no haría algo así "jamas", me aterran los paracaídas y todo lo que se refiera a lanzamientos en caídas libres. Excelente por ambos, sobre todo por Brenda...
