DE: Arrr, Late Morning
Running late so I'm going with a classic today, Prompts! Tag in with what pups you'd like to play with and we'll give you prompts for a writing blurb of whatever length suits your muse. Can't think of a prompt? Set your MP3 player/program, radio or internet streaming service to shuffle and give us a song title!
Hellboy - for the birds
"Seat belts?"
"Check."
"Fuel levels?"
"Check."
"Wing flaps?"
"Check, check, check, I got this." The engines roared as Red pushed them to speed and the aircraft jumped then began to accelerate rapidly down the runway.
"Wait, wait, you can't-- "
"Contact!" Red grinned, pulling back on the stick and forcing the plane into the air.
The aircraft pitched and screamed as Red sent it through insane paces, up and down, left and right, down into a swoop and then a sudden pick-up. The agent serving as instructor beside Red turned green and almost lost it until Red threw the craft into a climb that sent anything coming up back down with the tilt of the ascent.
"Stop. Stop. Stop! You're gonna stall!"
Red ignored the frantic pleas and pushed for more altitude.
"We're... almost... " With a jolt the craft choked out and sirens began to blare as the plane tilted down from its upward arc into a downward spiral.
"Aww, crap."
Frantically Red jerked on the stick, slammed buttons and pulled levers.
"Pull up! Pull up!"
Red and the agent both covered their eyes as the ground came rushing up and with a huge explosion they hit.
"Simulation Ended. Aircraft Destroyed."
With a frustrated sigh at the computer's pronouncement Red let go of the stick and waved off the image on the screen.
"I bet I could've pulled that out in a real airplane."
Looking over at Red, the agent marked a big red 'F' over the paperwork in his hands and shook his head.
"We are never. Ever. Going to put that to the test."
