... together on a row. We weren’t by the window so we could barely see. I saw some cabin crew sit on seats that looked like car seats for babies.

... myself praying aloud. "God, please help me make it through that gorge," I pleaded. Feeling edgy, I slowly went down, gripping every stalk, vine and root I could lay my hands on, holding on to dear life. I landed luckily in one piece.
