Thump. Thump. Thump. The relentless kicks jolted Kevin awake, his heart pounding. He opened his eyes wide, disoriented, and looked around, half-expecting the plane to be shaking from turbulence. But there was no turbulence—just the persistent, annoying noise from behind.
The steady rhythm of the kicks was impossible to ignore. It shattered his attempt to relax and made settling back into his seat seem out of reach. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart, but the repeated thumps only added to his frustration.
The flight had already been uncomfortable, and now this constant disturbance was testing his patience. Kevin had hoped for a quiet, peaceful journey, but instead, he was faced with a growing challenge. The plane’s engines droned on and on, creating a steady, monotonous hum that filled the cabin.
