Straight Up

Straight Up

Lieutenant Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels hates to fly. She hates the cramped leg room and the recycled air. She also hates the fact that she can't get a decent drink. The short flight to Florida is a necessary burden to visit her mother, but what escalates it beyond a mere inconvenience is the fact that the pilot is a gun-toting maniac.<br /><br />Teaming up with an irritable, badly scarred woman from England, Jack sets about trying to protect the plane and its passengers from the homicidal Captain Clive while also making sure that they don't end up taking a deadly nose dive into the Sunshine State.<br /><br /><b><i>STRAIGHT UP </i></b>by J.A. Konrath and Iain Rob Wright<br /><i>Air Travel can be murder.</i><br /> <br /><br />Straight Up is 10,000 word short story, about fifty pages long. </div>
