My First Day In The Airport

Decent Essays
Walking into the airport, I can feel my heart rate go up for every step I can take. As I give my luggage to the airport workers so it can be loaded on the plane, I thought back to last summer in my hometown, Turkey.
I remember my uncle asking “me will I come back next year alone?” “Yea sure I will come back I had so much fun this year” I told him without thinking.
As I hug my parents and start going through security all I think about is why I told my uncle yes. Because I said that one word he told my dad to buy tickets when it was getting close to summer. As I wait at the airport for my plane to get ready I sit there with my phone in my hand to say bye to all my friends and download as many games as I could for the plane ride.

My hands started getting sweaty and I started to take longer breaths.
This wasn’t the first time I rode a plane but, this was my first time alone. As the plane started to move I put on my headphones and started to watch a movie on the planes screen. If it weren’t for that movie I would have been sitting on that plane bored and scared for 11 hours.
After two hours on the plane I fell asleep and I was happy for that because the time flew by faster when I was asleep. I slept for at least a decent two hours or so. It’s harder to sleep on the plane than you might imagine, especially for all the turbulence. The only reason I didn’t sleep longer was because of the guy next to me. He woke me up to tell me they were giving out food. And I am glad he told me because I was starving. I haven’t eaten for about five hours.
As he tapped me on the shoulder, he said “hey dude are you hungry, they are giving out food.”
I was truly scared at that point because I didn’t know what was going on, I thought something dangerous was happening so he woke me up to let me know. As I rubbed my eyes, I responded “yea I am starving, thanks for waking me up and letting me

He asked me why I was going to Turkey so I told him I was born there and had to explain about the whole situation and what my uncle said to my dad. He told me that everything will be fine and I should enjoy myself there. When I asked him why he was going to Turkey he explained to me that he was going for vacation and a lot of people recommended Turkey to him because it was really pretty. He asked me a lot of questions about Turkey because this was his first time there and wanted to know all the sites he should go see. I told him everything I have loved about Turkey and he was so happy that he met someone like me because now he feels more educated about Turkey. We talked for at least an hour and a

    “You’re not going to feel anything,” the nurse with the fake lips exclaimed. “Yeah, right,” I murmured under my breath as I thought about how many people she had said that to today. Since when do nurses wear more makeup than clowns? Her lips were as thick as my broken, swollen thumb; her eyebrows looked like squirrels above her eyes; she looked worse than a clown. I couldn’t understand how frustrating it might be to mess up and have to start her makeup routine all over; it probably takes her at least two hours.…

    I kneeled down on the roof of an abandoned apartment, watching my next prey. I aimed the SR25 American sniper at the person’s head, click goes the sound of the trigger, before I could look up I saw my victim's body lying limp on fresh concrete with at a puddle of blood surrounding them and one perfect bullet hole through their head. Bystanders immediately pulled out their phones forming a circle around the body. I picked up the sniper, slung it around my back and walked down the steps of the building. The Atlanta sun was beating down on my black clothing my long curly hair feeling like fire, I hopped in my all black Lamborghini Gallardo Nera, driving slowly by the body to see if I finished my job, I smirked knowing I will be getting paid…

However, this year was different, you heard lockers slamming, footsteps of anxious businessmen, elevator doors closing, and no music. The tree in the lobby was dull with one single gold star, and yellow flickered lights that indicated they weren’t going to last.…
