FLIGHT 8803: Last Log

BEGIN TRANSMISSION . . .

The plane is about to crash, a nosedive into oblivion.
Out of existence leaving nothing behind but wreckage
You have front row tickets to a tragedy.
IMPACT IN 5
Something went wrong, you don't know what.
Who's supposed to take care of these things?
Well He's a killer now. You're the victim.
IMPACT IN 4
You're not ready to die, you want to live.
There must be something to redeem you with.
But of course it's too late for that now.
IMPACT IN 3
You weep for the ones you leave behind,
Wish them well, but for you it's ended.
Turn off the lights, let's go home.
IMPACT IN 2
Relax, embrace the impact.
You didn't buy the ticket, but the ride is over.
Close your eyes. This won't hurt.
1 . . .

. . . END OF TRANSMISSION

I went down with the plane. Gave me chills. Very very good read.

The whole idea and style of the thing is ingenious to me. What I think is so cool about it is that has a lot of power, especially if you put it in some sort of context, you know what I mean?
You can totally change the meaning or type of power it has just by pairing it with other peices, or even art or music. very cool

Every time i read the 'IMPACT IN', my stomach nose dived with the plane. Nice work.
