Flight 210: A Fictional Narrative

By noon Aiden made it to the airport just on time. He walks to his terminal, he looks at his ticket again. Flight 210 to Alaska,Fairbanks at 12:30. At that point Aiden realized he was in the wrong terminal. He got up, picked his suitcase up and started to sprint. Sprinting past the food court, past the restrooms. It was 12:25, he only has 5 more minutes to get on the plane. Running as fast as an olympic gold medal runner in a race, trying to dodge everything in his path. Then he see’s a girl, in the middle of the hall way, picking up her orange scarf. He had to stop. Aiden trips over his own two feet and lands on the floor.
