Murphy was content that the woman he sat next to no longer cared to even look at him, and was looking around the plane, exploring around the First Class area with her eyes. Murphy read his book as the plane taxied its way to its assigned strip, and set it down as it sped up. He took the time to look through the window as the plane made everything around it into a blur, before tilting up, gravity seeming to pull everyone down as the plane began to lift, its wheels no longer touching the ground as it took a forty-five degree angle and quickly made its intended altitude. Within 5 minutes of takeoff, the captain's voice could be heard on the intercom system, authorizing use of electronics, excluding cell phones unless they were in airplane mode. At this point, the lady next to him whipped out her ipod in an instant and ear buds were placed within 2 seconds. For a moment he actually hoped she would go deaf, as he could hear every beat of music she played.<br/><br/>After several minutes of playing air guitar and other air instruments, including air piano, and even air vocals as needed, his thoroughly annoyed neighbor finally getting the hint to turn down her music. But alas, what good songs she played. Surprisingly this woman was into a nice mix of rock, with the occasional country or rap song thrown in. The one techno song was a popular one, but great nonetheless. After losing his source of entertainment, he went back to his book, "The Count of Monte Cristo". He had already read this book once before, but why put down an old classic?<br/><br/>Just as he had gotten to one of the great scenes of revenge, something felt wrong. Terribly wrong. The plane suddenly felt like it dropped twenty feet, and his body jerked up to agree with that conclusion. The co-pilot's voice was now over the intercom.<br/><br/>"Ladies and gentlemen, please return to your seats and fasten the seat belt as soon as possible. We have come across some unexpected turbulence, and we don't know how long this will last. Thank you for your cooperation"<br/><br/>All Murphy could do now was sit and wait, hoping this jolting around would be over soon.
