When Chris awoke the next day, he heard a noise that got him excited. He jumped out of bed, put on his shoes, and went to the window. He couldn’t believe it; there was a plane taking off. Thank goodness! He knew it would be a while before all the flight routes could be sorted out again, especially with a smaller fleet. And, of course, they would have to make plans to sort out where everyone was going. But planes flying again was still a good sign that he’d be out of here very soon. He’d be able to go home and sort out his new life with this body. He could go out and buy some new clothes and stop cycling through these two uniforms and one other skimpy outfit. He wasn’t sure if anything was going to be normal again, but this was certainly the first step in trying.
