In an instant, the ground beneath me gave way and started sucking me in...
'General, we are going through extreme turbulence. Please keep your seat belt fastened.'
The loud crisp voice jolted me out of my slumber. I tried to lean forward but was pushed back by the seat belt. Bright light filtered from the window pane. I blinked. Instinctively, my right hand went to my coat pocket, searching for the letter.
