TERRAIN AHEAD, TERRAIN AHEAD

Noises. Noises are all I could hear. Alarm bells were ringing accompanied by hissing sounds, I could hear fire alarms blended in with standard emergency alarms. Along with that automatic callouts started ringing throughout the cockpit.

PULL UP, PULL UP

Loud crackles and pops filled the air around me. Small sparks of electricity ran through my veins. More alarms than I'd ever heard before all started playing at once as if in a creapy avation alarm choir.

FIVE HUNDRED, TERRAIN, TERRAIN, PULL UP, PULL UP, SINK RATE, SINK RATE

Beneath me, I could feel it. As if being in a flying brick my seat beneath me starting to leave me as I slowly rose up from it as gravity began taking effect.

THREE HUNDRED

I tried to move but was met with a wave of immense pain washing over my entire body from head to toe. It felt like my whole being was being tortured by some form of evil mastermind.

I slowly began to open my eyes, the moment I attempted the move more pain began flowing this time from the bottom of my eye to my forehead. I could feel something rolling down my forehead, however, I pushed the feeling asides as I focused on my eyes.

Still pushing through the immense pain that was coursing through my very beings my eyes opened themselves, a millisecond passed before they were immediately assaulted by an array of different colors as well as flashing red and yellow lights.

After the initial bombardment was complete I quickly tried to scan the area around me. In front of me, I could see the altimeter which was slightly pointed nose down as well as the engine display screen which was a wash of red and yellow lights.

TWO HUNDRED

Upon hearing the sound I looked up to see my surroundings but froze when I saw it. The front windshield was completely covered in cracks and what looked like Ice making it impossible to see through.

MINIMUMS

Another alert was blurted out causing me to jump I turned to my left and began to speak.

"Craig are you...," I froze again. In Craig's seat, there was nothing. The seat lay empty void of any person at all. "CRAIG!" I shouted my breath was laced with roughness as if there was a chainsaw within my throat.

I began looking around the cockpit glancing at every possible thing on the flight deck as I did so my breathing got faster and faster until I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest. However, another loud alarm going off brought me out of my panicking state if only for a short while.

ONE HUNDRED, SINK RATE

My head glanced back to the altimeter as a jolt of pain shot up my spinal cord and into my head, I began screaming internally as I placed a hand on the yoke and another on the throttle levers.

50, 40, 30

Quickly I pulled both throttle levers all the way back from to the idle position. The throttles had been moved forward during the go around attempt which had caused the aircraft to gain speed. I could hear the throttles making a less powerful noise as I eyed the altimeter.

20

With as much precision as was possible, I began to pull back on the yoke, however, the vertical speed was already far too low and my already weakened state was having little effect on the aircraft's movement. It was too little too late.

10

The back wheels touched down onto something as an almighty bang could be heard from below the aircraft. The force of the impact knocked me forward towards the dashboard, however, it was less force when compared to the original explosions. My head narrowly avoided the dashboard as I scored a small mental victory.

However, it seems that I'd spoken too soon as Murphys Law started to kick in with full force. As the nose landing gear came into contact with the surface it completely collapsed in on itself sending me unexpectedly into the cockpit's dashboard. More intense pain than I'd ever felt before erupted through my body.

My brain (or what was left of it) had clearly decided that I'd had enough as a sea of black washed over me for the second time that day.

Fuck...

Beep.... Beep... Bring Beep...

Bring.... Beep Bring... Beep...

Beep Beep Beep Bring Beep Bring Beep Beep Beep

I cracked my eyes open once more. As I did I was once again greeted with a great barrage of colors and sparks that had filled the flight deck that I sat slumped in. Directly in front of me, I could see that the glass on the windshield had been cracked slightly. In certain areas, I could also see that the ice that had previously covered the whole windsheild had partially broken away on impact with the ground which allowed me to get a sort of view out of the front windows.

Looking closer I could see that the nose of the aircraft was now completely embedded into the dirt. From the little I could see, I could tell that we had touched down in some sort of field or park.

A part of me calmed down with the knowledge that we hadn't touched down in a city center, hopefully, the field had been empty when we hit. However, the whoops and beeps of the several ringing alarms pulled me out of thought and back into my captain state of mind.

Quickly searching through my memory I quickly recalled the evacuation procedures. Pushing aside the fact that Craig was somehow not present I pushed on with the checklist by myself.

Tilting my head down I turned my attention to the throttle column. I hovered my hand over the column before reaching down and activating the aircraft's parking brake, as I pulled the switch up I could hear the distinct clicking noise indicating that the parking brake was on.

Looking up I reached out with my hand and began to open the outflow valves. This process was going to take a little bit, instead of waiting I used my other hand to begin to shut down the two engines, both of which were still sputtering outside (most likely chewing dirt).

Flipping the control switches the sputtering began to slowly die down as the engines stopped. As the noise became quieter I quickly went back over everything I had just done making sure I hadn't missed anything in the frantic rush. Satisfied I'd completed the first section correctly I pulled up the evacuation guard switch and activated the alarm.

Immediately another alarm joined the mass alarm choir that was still blaring through the cockpit much to my annoyance. Trying my best to ignore the sound I switched the PA microphone on and gave my evacuation message.

"Attention. This is the Captain. This is an emergency, evacuate, evacuate, evacuate,"

Switching the microphone setting back to the air traffic control I relayed my message to them.

"Tower this is Speedbird Six Seven Victor we are evacuating on the ground request fire services, we are at position east of 09L at an unknown distance in a large field,"

Happy with my message I removed my headset from my head before reaching over and pulling on all of the fire handles. Upon doing this I could hear a few of the fire alarms cut off as the fires began to die down, it was a blessing to my ringing ears.

Realising that the checklist was complete I decided that now would be a good time to depart from the aircraft myself.

I quickly unfastened my seatbelt and got up from the seat. Before I exited I took one last glance at the now wrecked flight deck. Just as I was turning back around my eyes caught something standing out.

Blood I thought to myself. Thats not possible, but that means, he's still...

I turned around and opened the cockpit door leaving behind the mess of a flight deck along with the drying blood on the right dashboard.

I entered the front galley expecting to see a line of terrified passengers along with Rose and Craig assisting them off the aircraft. However, instead of seeing that I saw the opposite. The galley was devoid of any frightened passengers or crew par me who was now standing in an empty galley with both aircraft doors closed and still armed.

"N... no,"

"No, NO!" I shouted into thin air. Trying to escape this nightmare as fast as I could I ran forward towards the door disarming it faster than anyone could imagine. Pulling on the handle I threw the door to the side as a large whooshing sound could be heard.

Whilst the slide inflated for the first time I could get a good view of my surroundings. It was mostly greenery with some weird looking flowers and bushes dotted within and around the grass. In the distance, I could see a dark tree line which seemed to contrast with the bright area I found myself in.

Great... Hyde Park off all the places

With the slide now inflated I put my hands over my chest and jumped. As I jumped I found myself becoming dizzier than before. I slid off the slide with a thud and landed onto the grass which unfortunately was not as soft as it looked.

I tried to level myself using my arms which worked surprisingly. I tried raising one of my hand's to my head as my headache worsened. However, it was only when I pulled my hand back down that I caught the cause of my dizzyness. My hand was a deep red, suddenly memories of the past few minutes all poured in at once as my mind caught up with my body.

As I became aware of the state I was in my adrenalin supply had finally run dry as I felt myself slipping away. I could feel my body collapse under me and I dropped back to the ground. Just before passing out my ears perked up.

VOICES

Using all of my available strength I pulled myself upright as my face came straight into contact with another pers.... No, not a person a...

"Huh?" I blurted out as my reserve strength ran out I collapsed back to the ground.

Horses? Yep definitely Hyde Park

"What just happened?"

"Your majesty we must get this creature to a medic immediatly,"

"Reporting for duty si.... whoa the heck is that,"

"Get it... th... stretcher,"

"We're los... it,"
