Roly Poly Womp Womp- entry to the weekend freewrite by Marianne West

It was my first time in an airplane and I was nervous. Still, it was totally unexpected when the thing took off. In my time planes had been replaced with wormhole technology and cruise blimps. No more noisy smelly planes, or cars for that matter, in the bright future. I have to admit though; despite the noise and the recycled air, that had me somewhat nauseated, the sensation of the pulling g-forces at take off where quite thrilling. I could almost forgive George for sending me on this assignment in such a barbaric age. The first hours of flight were pretty uneventful. I had the isle seat, the old lady at the window was sleeping and any attempts at conversation by the fat dude next to me was expertly warded off by the noise cancelling headphones I was wearing.

While the smell of these primitive age humans was starting to get to me a little, the close up view did offer some interesting perspectives. In my time things like obesity, old age and soft drinks were things of myth and ridicule. Being in that plane with these savages was like visiting a holographic zoo. The way these primitive creatures behaved and the things they ate was like watching holochimps in action, is was quite entertaining. The food on closer inspection however was a collection of horrors, usually based in animal secretions and corpse matter. After a while I had to distract myself as I was turning a pale shade of green. When the stewardess stoped at my seat with the trolley I politely declined her offering of the assorted abominations, which garnered me a angry look from the amorphous blob in the next seat. He seemed to take it as personal offence, staring at the tray with a longing one would think was reserved for some romantic holovid.

Across the isle from us was a couple who where on their honeymoon, as they made sure to announce to anyone who did or did not want to hear it. She had the isle seat and he sat in the middle, the window seat seemed to be empty. Roly Poly Womp Womp next to me made motions to get up “Need to go to the Loo! he exclaimed “ “who am I ? His mother? I really did not need to hear that! “ I thought, as he attempted to unsuccessfully push by me. After almost suffocating me with his beergut I was able to convince him to let me stand up first. I shook my head thinking “what a sorry sod “. When he passed the honeymooners turbulence hit and Humpty had a great fall, right on top of the female and all one could hear was a loud ripping sound. The honeymooners husband turned white then red. When he saw the rip in her dress, he had a hard time controlling his anger. Fatty emerged from the seat squealing apologies while the husband showered him with curses and calls for restitution. In impressive speed my isle mate fled toward the lavatory as fast as his little legs could take him. Had demons been chasing him I do not think he would have looked any more terrified. I closed my eyes for a second. I just kept thinking that it was a damn miracle that our species ever survived. Opening them again I looked past snoring granny through the window. There were clouds in the sky, big fluffy clouds, and I thought of home.
