Flight of Shadows: Trapped in the Coffin"
#WritcoStoryPrompt40
The noise was too loud, almost as if someone was using a drill machine in his head. He craned his head to relieve the cramp in his neck. When he couldn't move he realised where he was; in a coffin deep in the confines of an airplane... As he struggled to make sense of his surroundings, panic surged through him like an electric shock. Memories flooded back in fragmented flashes: the last thing he remembered was boarding the plane, excitement buzzing in the air for his long-awaited vacation. But now, trapped in darkness, the reality of his situation hit him like a ton of bricks.
Frantically, he pounded on the coffin lid, his screams drowned out by the deafening roar of the airplane engines. With each passing moment, the air grew thinner, suffocating him with its oppressive weight. Desperation consumed him as he clawed at the coffin walls, searching for any way out.
Then, a faint glimmer of hope flickered in the darkness. His fingers grazed something metallic—a latch! With trembling hands, he grasped it and pulled with all his might. The lid creaked open, revealing blinding light and a rush of frigid air.
Gasping for breath, he stumbled out of the coffin, disoriented and shaken. Surrounding him were rows of identical coffins, each occupied by a motionless figure. Terror gripped him as he realized the truth: he was not alone.
With determination fueled by fear, he embarked on a harrowing journey through the labyrinthine corridors of the airplane, desperate to uncover the sinister mystery lurking within its confines and find a way to escape before it was too late.
