News:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Alright, passengers. This is your captain speaking. Buckle in, fold your trays up and make sure your seat is locked in an upright position. We're about to have a little turbulence. If you look out the window to your right, you should be able to see the flooded-in remains of the eastern seaboard, anti-air batteries and the occasional little blue gremlin snacking on the skin of the wing. On your left, there should be... Never mind. I hear it looks back into you, and then the cold sweats and the night chills never go away for however long you've still got left. Best to close your blinds.
Yeah, the conditions are pretty rough. But then, it always gets that way up where we're headed. It's grim up north, says the captain's manual, and this flip-book calender looks an extra page thick. And there are monsters down below, horrible things. Writhing, squamous, toothy things, climbing atop each other to eat us whole. But we're too high for them, and we're too fast for them, and maybe the panels off the tail fin will be enough to throw them off our trail. And there's something in the fish, but we'll have that taken care of when we get to our destination. So buckle in. Chat, read the paper, whatever. And whatever you do, don't panic. We've still got cabin pressure. We've still got hydraulics. We've still got wings.

But I am getting a little low on air. Would Striker head to the cockpit and relieve me? Thanks.

Very nice.

Needs to be expanded just a bit.

ETA:  By you.  I'm gonna post a bit too, because I like the idea.

Hi there, this is your captain speaking.

We're in a holding pattern at 10,000 feet.  If you look to your left, you can see The City below you.  That big thing that's on fire seems to be City Hall, and unless you're sitting over the wing, you can see the food riots in the major parks.

The truth is, folks, we've had clearance to land for about 3 hours now, but we took a good look, and decided to stay up here and get all fucked up in the cockpit.  Don't bother trying to do anything about it, the doors are armored and locked.  Besides, there's no worry...We fuel these things the same way the government plans its budget.  The ride never ends.  Ha.  Haha.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

*crackle*

This here is your co-pilot.  Someone send up some blondes.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

*crackle*

This is the stewardess.  We don't know what's going on.  Please assume the crash position as outlined on the back of the card in the seatback ahead of you.  We're trying to contact the ground, but all we hear is screaming.

*crackle*

I just came to The City to see my granddaughter's Christening. What's that? Oh, a business trip. Yes, I see, that must be nice, all that travel. Well, it looks like it's going to be some time before we land, do you suppose they'll put on another movie? What a good idea to bring a Snuggie on the flight, you can just snuggle right in there, hee hee!

Care for a few Oreos? I always bring snacks, airline food is never good. Oh, no movie? That's too bad. Well, I guess I'll just settle in and get caught up with some reading, it's a good thing I brought my Kindle and an iPod.

This intrigues me.  Want to know more. 

Collective human consciousness looking back at you knowing all the wrong that's been done?  Or just all the lost souls?  Maybe it's just a clown.  Just a happy/sad harmless clown.

I'll be adding some more tomorrow, or possibly today if I have time.
