You're running to your flight, you're late as always and you trip over your shoe laces you're pulling on a dark green jacket while you run past people shoving through crowds. Proud of yourself actually going on the trip this time. You see people you know you don't like and you then run faster to not get by that. Your flight ticket slips from your hand but you twirl around and grab it just barely and literally trip into the airline and slam into your seat next to someone. You stare at the back of the seat infront of you and slump into the chair. The person next to you is rummaging to get their junk back into their pants and you look the other way away from her. You sigh and stare at the floor and slowly begin falling asleep. You get up to go to the bathroom and people start shaking their head no but you don't understand their warning and you step into the bathroom seeing the co-pilot fucking the flight attendant and you yell out at the plane. "WHO THE HELL IS SANE ENOUGH HERE TO JUST KEEP THEIR SHIT TO THEMSELVES!?" Someone one raises their hand. It's the person you think you'll hate, you grumble and walk to them to sit next to them passing them a twenty, and they start speaking instinctively to you and you reply glumly. You start talking to them more interested in them and they show you things you've not seen before, different minerals and rocks. They tell you why they're on this trip "To research how minerals can save lives." You ask if that's not already a thing and they shrug, they ask you why and you answer them. "Because I'm a traveler." You talk to them about your life with an abusive father and a mother that overdosed, they explain that they're parents seemed to want a girl, they sigh and you nudge them. "Cheer up dude, at least you've got a life." they smile and nod and then you smile and sleep. Once you wake up you're in bed and you're late for your flight.
