Species A (Short Story)

Chapter 3

Amaya |        The traffic is awful in the city's center, which is where the airport is located, so it takes me awhile to get there. I walk into the lobby, scanning the room until I spot the TV broadcasting flight times. The first flight to Kamde is at 4:30 and it's just barely 1 o'clock now. I sit down on the nearest bench to think about what I should do when I get to Kamde. First, I think I should find somewhere to stay for a while. Probably a Hotel, maybe rent an apartment. Next, how am I going to fund this search? My brow creases as I consider possibilities. Then it comes to me. The D'Laneys! They have a bank account in Kamde for their travels, and they would be fine if I took a couple of Crowns out to search for my past. Last and most importantly, How am I going to find him in the first place? The address goes to a run-down warehouse, and I doubt he lives there. The announcements coming from the speakers high on the walls finally break through the fog of questions in my head and I realize it's now 4:15, so I rush out of the waiting area to bay 5 where my plane is waiting. I climb into my seat and mentally say goodbye to the land below me, unaware that I would be unable to go back anytime soon.
