Before takeoff

Alsaid, Adi2022
Books, Manuscripts
James and Michelle find themselves in the Atlanta airport on a layover. They couldn't be more different, but seemingly interminable delays draw them both to a mysterious flashing green light - and each other. Where James is passive, Michelle is anything but. And she quickly discovers that the flashing green light is actually - a button. Which she presses. Which may or may not unwittingly break the rules of the universe - at least as those rules apply to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta. Before they can figure up from down, strange, impossible things start happening: snowstorms form inside the B terminal; jungles sprout up in the C terminal; and earthquakes split the ground apart in between. And no matter how hard they try, it seems no one can find a way in or out of the airport. James and Michelle team up to find their families and either escape the airport, or put an end to its chaos - before it's too late.
