Red-Eye: A Novelette by B. Stine

“Red-Eye” a humorous travel story by B. Stine:
The man walked to the back of the cabin and entered the restroom. A couple of minutes passed when suddenly—KABOOM!—followed by the oxygen masks dropping from the ceiling. “Fasten Seat Belt” appeared on the monitors, and an alarm sounded. Loud engine noise. “Oxygen Mask” began flashing on the monitors.
“Uhh … folks …”
The pilot addressed the passengers as cockpit alarms sounded in the background through the intercom system.
“You probably noticed that the oxygen masks self-deployed. Uhh … and it appears … well … we could have a slight pressure problem … so we’d like you to go ahead and use the oxygen masks while we try to determine exactly what the problem is.”
The woman placed an oxygen mask over her face and pulled down a second mask, holding it close to her pet carrier. The pilot forgot to turn off his microphone, and the passengers could hear the sounds from the cockpit.
“… what—this looks—whoa—where are the—I can’t see the—try it again—I hope your wife—maybe the other—oops, the mic—got it—”
Then the CLICK sound of the mic turning off.

Kookaburras, Cuppas & Kangaroos: Adventures of a Yorkshire Lass Down Under in the ’60s by S Bavey

Kookaburras, Cuppas & Kangaroos’ by S. Bavey tells the true story, mainly through letters sent home, of a 24-year-old woman’s solo three-year trip from Yorkshire England to Australia in the 1960s.

Excerpt:

Prologue

“They’re taking away my passport for a whole two years! Whatever will I do if I hate it there, or no one likes me?”

Travelling alone to the other side of the world was a daunting prospect and as the day approached, the butterflies in my stomach were getting larger.
“You’ll be fine, Liz. Elsie and John will help you to get settled. Staying with them will be like a home away from home.” Mum was trying to be reassuring, but my nerves had got the better of me.
It was February 1960 and I was emigrating to Australia as part of the ‘Assisted Passage Migration Scheme’. Created in 1945 by the Australian government to attract people to live and work there for at least two years, this scheme was more commonly known as the ‘Populate or Perish’ policy. You could move to Australia for the princely sum of £10.00 if you had someone willing to sponsor you.

My mum’s friend, Elsie Fawcett and her husband, John, who lived in Perth, Western Australia, had agreed to sponsor me and I could live with them while I got my bearings, so I paid my money and became what was known as a ‘Ten Pound Pom’.
My passport was taken away and would be returned after a minimum of two years in Australia. I felt extremely nervous about the length of time I had to stay ‘Down Under’ in order to qualify for the scheme, particularly since I was going to be living with people I had never met, starting with friends of my mum and later moving on to stay with relatives I knew from conversation only. What would become of me if I couldn’t get a job and my money ran out before I was allowed to have my passport back?

Past Revisited (Det. Thomas Clipper Mystery Book 4) by Richard Stockford

The everyday nuisance of the unknown disturbance call is an accepted fact of the police officer’s daily life. As often as not, these calls turn out to be totally insubstantial: nothing at the scene, no witnesses, no evidence, just another ripple in the fabric of the shift, unremarked and soon forgotten. Cops are used to arriving on scene after the fact. Occasionally, the responding officer is called upon to referee a fistfight or intercede in a domestic squabble or minor neighborhood dispute, chase a raccoon away from the trash cans, or counsel a rebellious kid, but rarely does the unknown disturbance call result in anything serious.

But then again, every once in a while…

Officer Evangeline Holly just made the light at the top of Main Street, turning left onto Union on her way up to Fourth. A four-year patrol veteran, Holly handled the cruiser with a practiced nonchalance, pleased at the prospect of some kind of action after a boring evening of traffic patrol on Main Street
