The camera turned toward the window.
And outside…
There was no ocean.
The plane was flying above a city.
A massive city covered in fog.
Tall buildings.
Streets.
Yellow lights moving far below.
A woman’s voice could be heard on the recording:
“But… we’re over the ocean!”
Then a message appeared on the aircraft’s screen:
LANDING IN TEN MINUTES.
After that, the passengers began screaming.
The video cut out.

The next morning, a report came in from a small island forty kilometers from where the plane had been found.
A local resident had discovered a woman lying unconscious near the rocks.
When Layan arrived at the hospital, the woman was lying in bed, shivering from the cold.
The doctor said:
“She claims she was on a plane.”
Layan stepped closer.
“What’s your name?”
The woman slowly opened her eyes.
They were filled with fear.
“Elisa… Elisa Harper.”
Layan froze.
The name was on the passenger list for Flight 702.
