Chrissy
Chrissy
Everyone on the plane is dead!
John
John
What are you talking about?
Chrissy
Chrissy
I woke up ten minutes ago, and I was the only one alive.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Oh God!
Chrissy
Chrissy
What should I do??
John
John
I’m not following. I thought you were in Paris.
Chrissy
Chrissy
We got delayed.
Chrissy
Chrissy
So I’m still on the plane.
John
John
Good one, sis. You had me going for a second there!
John
John
How long till you land?
John
John
Chrissy?
John
John
???
Chrissy
Chrissy
I’m here, John.
Chrissy
Chrissy
What should I do?
John
John
Get some rest.
Chrissy
Chrissy
You’re not getting it.
Chrissy
Chrissy
EVERYBODY ON THE AIRPLANE IS DEAD!
Chrissy
Chrissy
The man in the row across from me…
Chrissy
Chrissy
Oh God.
Chrissy
Chrissy
His eyes are still open.
Chrissy
Chrissy
His hand is on the other seat.
Chrissy
Chrissy
It’s like he’s pointing.
John
John
Pointing at what?
Chrissy
Chrissy
At me.
John
John
Are you sure he’s actually dead?
John
John
You sure you aren’t somehow imagining all this?
Chrissy
Chrissy
There’s blood on his shirt.
Chrissy
Chrissy
He hasn’t blinked in ten minutes.
John
John
What about the others?
John
John
How do you know EVERYONE’S dead?
Chrissy
Chrissy
The first thing I did when I woke up was scream when I saw the guy next to me.
Chrissy
Chrissy
It was so quiet.
Chrissy
Chrissy
It still is.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Just the sound of the engines.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I saw that man staring at me…the blood…
Chrissy
Chrissy
And I screamed.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And when I stopped, it was totally quiet.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And no one was moving.
Chrissy
Chrissy
So I got up.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I stepped into the aisle, and that’s when I saw it.
John
John
What did you see??
Chrissy
Chrissy
A cabin full of dead people.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Every single one of them.
John
John
Have you checked in the back or gone into first class?
Chrissy
Chrissy
No.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I couldn’t move after seeing that.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I tried, but my legs wouldn’t work.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I sat back down and closed my eyes.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I kept them closed for at least ten minutes.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I thought I’d wake up and everything would be back to normal.
Chrissy
Chrissy
That’s what I kept telling myself.
Chrissy
Chrissy
But everything WASN’T back to normal.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And that’s when I texted you.
John
John
Okay, I’m going to call the police.
John
John
But you need to be sure first.
John
John
You need to get up and check again…
John
John
See if ANYONE else is alive.
John
John
I’ll be right here.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I…I can’t, John.
John
John
I’ll be right here.
John
John
Take your phone and keep telling me what you see.
John
John
Do you know what kind of plane it is?
Chrissy
Chrissy
What do you mean? It’s a big one.
John
John
I mean is it a 737? An A350?
Chrissy
Chrissy
Is that important? How would I know?
John
John
I can pull up a picture of the cabin if I know.
John
John
There should be a safety card in the seat in front of you that will say.
John
John
Sis??
Chrissy
Chrissy
It says 747-8.
John
John
Let me check…
John
John
Hold on. My wi-fi’s acting up…
John
John
Okay, I see it now.
John
John
There are two aisles.
John
John
What row are you in?
Chrissy
Chrissy
355.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I mean 35. My hands are shaking so bad I can barely type.
John
John
Okay, so I want you to walk to the back of the plane.
John
John
Then circle around to the front.
John
John
Look at everyone as you go.
John
John
If you see anyone moving, let me know.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I…I don’t think I can do this.
John
John
Yes you can.
John
John
I’m right here, sis.
John
John
Try to stay calm.
John
John
Do what you do in yoga class.
John
John
Take deep, even breaths.
John
John
We’re gonna get through this.
John
John
I promise.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Okay, I’m getting up.
John
John
Good. Let me know when you’re in the aisle.
1 minute later
John
John
Chrissy?
Chrissy
Chrissy
I’m here.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I couldn’t move at first.
Chrissy
Chrissy
But I finally forced my legs to walk.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I’m in the aisle now.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I can see at least twenty people from where I’m standing.
Chrissy
Chrissy
They’re all dead.
John
John
How do you know for sure?
Chrissy
Chrissy
Because their eyes are all open.
Chrissy
Chrissy
And they’re not blinking.
Chrissy
Chrissy
They’re all staring at me!
John
John
Try to stay calm.
John
John
I know how hard this must be.
John
John
But if they’re dead, they’re not staring at you.
John
John
It just seems that way because you’re scared.
Chrissy
Chrissy
But it’s not just their eyes.
Chrissy
Chrissy
It’s also their heads.
Chrissy
Chrissy
They’re all tilted to where I was sitting.
Chrissy
Chrissy
How can this be happening?
John
John
I don’t know.
John
John
But if everyone’s dead and you survived, there’s a reason for that.
John
John
Start heading for the back, okay?
John
John
Look for any movement.
John
John
I’m calling the airline and police now.
John
John
I’m going to use a different phone.
Chrissy
Chrissy
There’s another guy.
Chrissy
Chrissy
A few rows behind where I was sitting.
Chrissy
Chrissy
His phone is still on.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I can see the screen.
Chrissy
Chrissy
He was texting with his wife. Or his girlfriend.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Her name is Sabrina.
Chrissy
Chrissy
They were making plans for tonight.
Chrissy
Chrissy
They planned on going to the Moulin Rouge.
Chrissy
Chrissy
She keeps asking what happened.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Why he won’t answer.
Chrissy
Chrissy
The phone is on his lap.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I think I should tell her.
John
John
Don’t.
John
John
You shouldn’t touch anything.
John
John
Not when we have no idea how everyone died.
Chrissy
Chrissy
But she’s so worried.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Oh God, John. She just sent him a picture of their kids.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I HAVE to tell her.
John
John
Leave it alone, sis.
Chrissy ignores John and picks up the man’s phone.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Sabrina?
Chrissy
Chrissy
My name is Chrissy Farrow.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I’m on the plane with your husband.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I don’t know how to tell you this…
Chrissy
Chrissy
But he’s dead.
Sabrina
Sabrina
What are you talking about?
Chrissy
Chrissy
Everyone’s dead.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Including your husband.
Chrissy
Chrissy
I’m so sorry.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Sabrina??
Chrissy
Chrissy
Are you there?
Sabrina
Sabrina
I’m here, Chrissy.
Sabrina
Sabrina
We’re ALL here.
Sabrina
Sabrina
So there’s no reason to be sorry.
Sabrina
Sabrina
We’ve been waiting.
Chrissy
Chrissy
Waiting for what?
Chrissy
Chrissy
Waiting for WHAT, Sabrina??
Sabrina
Sabrina
Waiting for you to message us.
Sabrina
Sabrina
And now that you have, it’s time to begin.
Sabrina
Sabrina
Welcome to Dead Air.
