It was a dark and stormy night. The Captain was still flying on autopilot. (1) He had been doing this for years and seen many storms. He was not worried. (2) After a while, the snow intensified and the cabin shook vigorously from the wind. The captain reached for the transmitter. (3) Immediately he called for help but all that was heard was static. He was scared, isolated and alone. (4) He began to panic as his heart beat quickened, and his nerves made his blood thicken. He looked around for something to warm his fingers as he felt his circulation begin to end. (5) He reached for his gloves. Just then, one of the airplanes engines failed. (6) Then as the passengers huddled around the window and watched the engine burst into flames, a creaking sound started to rip through the hull of the plane. Then the man sitting in the row across from me- I think his name was Andrew Goff- let out a screach that can only be described and as his final sound.(7)
