The Flight to Nowhere

Summary

My flight was overbooked, and the flight attendant asked if I could take the next one.

She offered me half the ticket price as compensation, and I happily agreed.

But when the next flight arrived, it was overbooked too.

I got compensated again, thinking this was a great way to make easy money.

That was until the big screens showed mass flight disruptions.

News reports flooded in: a chemical plant near the airport had exploded, and the entire airport was gradually being engulfed by spreading toxic gas.

I realized then, I had been played by capitalism.
