Hijacked! by D.L. Witherspoon (R)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL

Why this must be read:
I haven't been able to rec since I've been on the road for the past couple of weeks but I'm going to try and catch up now before I'm off again. I've been going from airport to airport and whenever I'm waiting for my flight, I think about this story everytime. A story about a hijacked plane is probably not the best thing to think about when you're about to board one, especially this day in age, but I do for some strange reason. I watch the people around me in the terminal and it reminds me of the opening scene of Witherspoon's story:
Blair Sandburg watched the people who occupied the terminal of Cascade International with all the intensity of the anthropologist he was. He really couldn't understand people who didn't think people were interesting. They had rituals, like the couple who were sharing a brief kiss as the husband's row was called for boarding. They had strength, like the woman who was waving goodbye to her two children walking hand in hand with a stewardess. They had dignity, like the older gentleman who was walking with two canes but held his head up proudly.
"Achoo! Damn. Did she have to douse herself in CK?"
And then there were people like his partner.
Hijacked!
