Stranded in the Green and Gold

Storyfeather

Two passengers find themselves alone just after takeoff, on a plane that seems to be floating in some substance that the passengers can only define as being green and gold.

Genre: Science Mystery

Excerpt: If we were asleep, and the plane crashed into an ocean with green-and-gold water, and we’re now sinking, and the rest of the passengers managed to get out, then how did they all get a chance to take their luggage? And how did they then close the cabin doors again?

What’s the Writing Prompt that inspired the story?Prompt: That was the last thing I needed to see in the middle of take-off. And then there was that noise I kept hearing. Was that sound normal on a plane?

Oops, I’m not sure about the origin of this prompt. Per my notes, this came from an app called “Fictionprompter,” but I don’t remember this app. And couldn’t find it on a casual search.
