Apartment building (Dawn)

A woman and her son were hastily preparing for their day. Afterwards the Woman went to her room packed a rather large suit case, closed it then changed. She then went to check on her son.

Not wanting his mother to see that he was half finished, he kicked the door slamming it shut. The woman arrived at the door to the son's room then knocked. “Are you almost done?” she asked. He slightly opened the door then stood in front of it obstructing the view inside. He held up his index finger indicating that he needs a little more time.

“Okay, but hurry and finish up.” the woman stated then walks away. The boy opened his suit case then quickly emptied each drawer from his dresser into it and slammed it continuously until it closed.

A car pulled up to the driveway then honked. “Son, the taxi is here, I’ll be waiting inside.” she said. The boy slipped on his jacket, grabbed the suitcase then walked out the door and into the car which reversed then drove off soon after.

Both the woman and the boy entered the holding area, took seats then put down their luggage. The boy held his head down as if worried. “We’re halfway done; once we are on that plane you will feel better.” The woman reassured.

The boy slowly nodded in agreement. “Numbers 82 and 87 proceed to the Boarding Area.” said a man over the P.A. system. The two joined up with the other passengers and walked across the bridge into the plane.

They took their seats then buckled in. The boy turned to his Mother “Why couldn’t we bring him?” he asked with hand gestures. “You know why we can’t. Don’t throw away this chance he provided." she stated in a low voice. “Understood, I will behave now.” The boy gestured then turned to the window and stared into the clouds then fell asleep.
