Bird Bones
I felt my heart pounding in my chest as the tall gray-haired man, who called himself a pilot, loaded me and my small bag onto the small, rusty plane. I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at my gut as he added two jerrycans of fuel to the cargo without tying them down. I wanted to escape, scream, to do anything to avoid getting on that plane. But I said nothing. The pilot closed the door, and the sound of the latch clicking shut made my heart skip a beat.
