"Writing Challenge: Story by Numbers"

Here is my another attempt.  This time I chose number 17:

Character: A pilot.

Place: a funfair

Situation: driving a car without knowing how:

Object: a Horse saddle

25 SECONDS – THE EXTRACT OF LIFE.

 

Razi a cadet pilot was on a training flight.  He was normally following the instructions of his trainer in the control room, diving, flying higher then getting low altitude. Suddenly he detected that something was wrong with his plane, because it started jerking.  He felt that as he was sitting on a horse saddle and not on the pilot seat. He immediately informed his trainer. Upon the instructions of the trainer he did what he was told, but the problem could not be mended. Razi then heard the shout of his trainer on the transmitter, “Razi! Boy, eject yourself you can not do any thing now! ” I am losing altitude Sir.” Razi’s concerned voice heard in the control room. “Eject yourself Razi, you have only 25 seconds! Do it now, you are not driving a car, it’s a plain and you have to eject yourself!” Razi heard his trainer’s voice. He was ordering him to eject himself from the plane by just pushing the ejection button, which will open the cockpit cover and throw him in the air with a parachute. By this way Razi can save himself and the plane would crash somewhere. ”25 second to save life,” Razi thought, “but I am above the city area, if I eject myself, the plane would crash down on populated area. There may be college, school or hospital, a fun fair is also there in the vicinity.” He was thinking fast. “They will all die while I will live. How could it be? such lovely people, friends, children, students..” “Eject Razi boy and that’s an ord…..” Razi switched off the transmitter. Immediate after there was an ear tearing bang and the plane was crashed in a hilly area out side the city. Razi took his plane outside the city area and crashed himself with the plane.

 

Some weeks later Razi’s mother was confiding herself to some of her friends, “I was wishing Razi would have ejected himself and saved his life, but later on when I received hundreds of thousands of letters from the people who would have perished if Razi plane would crash on the population, thanking Razi for sparing their lives and sacrificed himself. All the letters say only one thing in common. “We are alive just because of your son…..”

  • Thanks Roman for liking the story.

  • Very good story, Mishaikh! Wow! It inspires to live further in this world and enjoy life...

    Thank you for sharing!!!

  • Yess Onee this story based on a true and actual incident. I read a column on this event in one of local (Urdu) newspaper which inspired me to write this story.

  • Mishaikh,

    Did this really happen?? You know I'm shedding tears after reading this story. He was really a HERO. No more words.

    Thank you for sharing such a meaningful life story.

  •  Your imaginative and creative power made you write such an awesome and touching story, also expressing your pattern of human thought. I really liked it. 

  • Thanks Tara.  I like writing.  I am still at the learning stage.

    I have already read your daughter's first story.  Let me say, that is an INNOCENTLY MATURED STORY.  God bless her with all the intelligence,  give her a kiss from me.

  • Great! This story reminded me of Goose in Top Gun. "Eject, eject!" I still cry when I watch that movie.

    I'm so glad you are having fun with the Storymaker! My daughter couldn't stop herself at one either. She quickly wrote a second story after completing her first one. It's funny how four simple words or phrases may be all we need to create something out of nothing!
