Prudence Halloway: A Short Story
“Airlines Flight 637F traveling to New York is ready for takeoff! Please fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride,” the captain says. “What time is it?” says passenger, Lucy Kelson. “It’s 4:45 Ma’am.” Says passenger, Jane Smith. “It better be a quick flight, my headache medicine is wearing off and I am not in the mood for pain.” Jane Smith was the personal assistant of Prudence Halloway, a relapsed drug addict. Jane and Prudence shared a row of seats with Xander Cage, who they conversed with and found he was an Extreme sports motorcyclist. Xander knew of Prudence from an old television series he used to despise and realized he hated her even more in person. “Would you like one of your special cupcakes?” Jane asked Prudence. “Yes, I would,
but I need to go wash my hands in the bathroom first.” Xander remembered the leftover poison he had in his pockets from when he was trying to kill rats at his house earlier that morning and realized it was time to get revenge on his most hated celebrity of all time. He took the poison out of his pockets when Jane was not looking, and injected it into Prudence’s cupcakes. When Prudence came back from the bathroom she took one big bite out of her vanilla cupcake and immediately started seizing. Jane began to freak out; thinking the drugs Prudence was using caused it. When Prudence fell out of her seat, the entire plane got involved and began checking her pulse. At 5:05 p.m., Prudence Halloway, was pronounced dead. Every passenger, flight attendant, and captain was in complete shock. Jane went ballistic and received comfort from the unsuspected murderer, Xander. Passenger David Levinson walked over to the deceased women to see what was happening. David had a secret plan to explode this plane and wanted to know what was interfering with his suicide mission. While everyone was crying and praying for Prudence, he pulled out explosives from his pocket and terrified everyone. He screamed, “Stay calm and don’t move!! Put your hands up! Be quiet!” The fearful passengers tried to stop him but they were too late. At 6:00 p.m. the plane exploded and crashed into an empty field in the middle of nowhere.
