From Home to home

I sat for an hour - waiting to board my flight. To my right, two Korean women - one old with laugh wrinkles around her eyes and mouth, the other much younger - maybe 20 or 21. She hugged her Sanrio Hello Kitty tote and nuzzled her Mother as they watched a movie on her iPod. To my left, an older couple sat, trying to figure out how to work their brand new cell phone. They probably received it from their middle son, Stanley, who probably worked at the lead accounting firm in the city. They listened to every ring - twice.

I traveled all night to come home. I waited behind stupid, slow civilians and thought of the way my Parents' house was going to smell as I walked through the door. I opened my eyes during the last flight and held my breath when the plane skidded across the airstrip. All I could think was, "Home." I walked as fast as I could towards baggage and looked for my Parents. They were waiting for me. They drove me home and my Dad cooked me eggs. It was 0425.
