Chapter 4: Dinosaur dream #1

He takes the cola from the stewardess. She continues methodically giving most people a beverage. His drink is dark brown. Most of the drinks are bright colors.

The woman next to him looks at him and winks. She is older than him, but not elderly. She says, ‘flark ovum farnal’ and she smiles. She has vampire teeth. She drinks the purple liquid in her glass. She drops the glass. He notices that everyone is dropping glasses. There are bright blue, orange, green, purple, red, yellow, and iridescent black liquids mixing together on the floor of the plane.

He looks out the window and sees the plane’s wings are not rigid. They are flapping. The inside of the plane begins to change from mechanical forms into biological forms. The luggage compartments bulge with fluids. The people in the seats liquefy. The seats liquefy. The walls begin to pulsate. Organs drop from the oxygen mask compartment and inflate. He is sucked into the stomach. There is still a window. He can see the outside of the plane bending more and more. Eventually, the wheels drop down into legs. The tip of the plane extends into a beak, and there are eyes where the windshield was.

The plane has become a pterodactyl. He sits in the stomach looking out of a window around where the belly button would be. He sees the lights of the buildings move past below him. The pterodactyl makes a sound from it’s mouth. It’s raining from the clouds below him.
