A page story from my life’s journal years back.
We towed the helicopter back at the hangar at the mid afternoon. There and then, the post flight inspection seemed the hardest thing to do. Thanks to my buddy in the flight detail who did the hard work for me. All the while, have I told about how I got a violet paper thing inside my pocket? With a share for my colleague and a cut for the day’s duty, the pilots have sworn about my luck that didn’t ended the day empty.
Of Words and Numbers
Maybe God do take some bargain making wishes come true but short of the exact specifications. Maybe I’m running out of time failing to find my luck in the life game of words and numbers. I still had my old rank ever since I’ve joined that game show or rather, panel interview I mean. There’s indeed salvation in a group of words and my fate had brought me into it. Perhaps I could live a lifetime taking a bet on the National Lottery and never find the luck to take my winnings. But there’s always a good story to collect behind it, Mary Higgins Clark proved it. On the other hand, there’s every day’s flight and what has yet to be written. Could you imagine the cost of chartering a helicopter just to get a feel of the experience and tell something about it? Once in my life, I could simply be amused for having been cheated and there was that familiar line which seemed to provide some sense of fairness. “According to statistics you are not the weakest link but as it was decided by the votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.”
