Confusing. No explanation of the physical altercation of George described in the opening! It was brought up several times that his face had taken a beating, but it never said who or why? It had nothing to do with the guts of the story. FOF?? I don't know if anything anywhere is related to this idea. I have never gotten on an airplane without having a thought about whether I would arrive at my destination safely. I am a white knuckler!
When I saw this story on Amazon the description was three or four words long. Sounded interesting. Oh, boy, it was a whole lot more than interesting. I felt every bump and jolt, heard every screech and thud. I am left with questions, but who cares? The story is good enough that it doesn't need answers.
