As someone who is afraid of flying, I have considered taking something to help me deal with the tension that comes with going high up in the air while stuck in a metal box. But you know what? I'm probably not going to now!

Right? I'm definitely not going to pop an Ambien before flying, either.

Maybe a little wine in flight, once I've settled in and am 100 percent sure that the pilot is going to take the plane to the planned destination.

This has a touch of Stephen King to it and he is my favourite author so we'll done. Lots of short sentences building the tension. Good work, Bill.

Personally, I prefer trains. I'm looking forward to 1,000 years from now when there are trains that cross the oceans.

I like trains for short periods. But I wouldn’t want to cross an ocean in one. Especially at age 1061. 🤪🚂🚄🚅🚉
