The Grey

The Grey
Liam awakens to his wife in bed. Passionately cuddling and looking into each other’s eyes. A mist of love surrounding them as they stare at each other. Everything is silent and peaceful. The blanket blissfully moving as they lay underneath it. Abruptly Marry is ripped away from the bed! A blizzard covered the air. Liam realizes he’s in a dream, waking up to plane on a crash course andthe rest of the passengers screaming and panicking. Suddenly the plane rips in half and crashes. Liam awake covered in snow, dusts it of and to his amazement he is not injured. Then he hears distant cries, the cries of the few survivors that were battered and wounded from the crash. As he got up and walked back towards the plane he witness the tragedy he had just survived, men ripped apart, limbsmissing while still alive and crying. He realizes there is nothing he can do for them so he keeps wondering about and around the crash sight. He stars to hear yelling, “ Help! Help!” from inside the plane’s remains. As he approaches the remainder of the plane’s hall, he sees survivors surrounding josh. Josh lying there with a bar perforating his chest, barely murmuring what he’s trying to saywhile coughing up blood. Liam reaches him, tries to calm him down and tells him while holding his hand firmly. “Think about your wife and how much you love her. Think of all the good times you had in your life. Now you will start to feel warm inside. Let everything go. Let it all go.” Josh doing what Liam instructed closed his eyes and perished. “There is nothing else we can do for him,” said Liamwhile speaking to the rest of the survivors. Liam convince the survivors then to look for wood, food, and weapons in the wreckages to make a camp for the night. Finally nightfall arrived and the crew had set fires around the opening of the plane’s hall where it was ripped in half. The men all tried to sleep for they had a day of unknown terror to come for them the next morning. Liam restless fromhis nightmare finally manages to fall asleep. He dreams of the night before, before even getting in the plane where the whole oil drilling crew was at the bar drinking. As he walked in everything went in slow motion around him, people fighting, drunks laughing and loud rock music that he could not stand. As the cold sweats fall down his forehead, he sits at the bar and orders a shot of vodka. Afterthe shot he leaves the warmth of the bar and into the artic cold. As he approached a spot he is well familiar with he took his rifle of his back and got on his knees. Liam puts the end of the barrel of the riffle in his mouth and instantly flashbacks of him sitting at his desk at home looking at his wife’s picture and laying in bed with her smiling. Suddenly he awakes from his dream, hearing wolfcries in the distance. Liam rushes to get everyone up and tells them “grab sticks and set the ends on fire and follow me!” so the group does and as they leave the safety of the plane they walk towards the darkness being led by Liam. As they stepped further into the pitch-black abyss, the crew started to acknowledge pairs of yellowish dots appearing in front of them. That was when the growling washeard and it was obvious wolves surrounded them. “There is a lot of them,” said Manuel in a shivering voice. Liam an expert wolf hunter, instructed the crew to stay very still and not move a muscle. The wolf pack inching ever so closely towards the crew but Liam insisted the guys to remain calm and not move. Tensions running high as everyone in the crew thinking of inevitable death and makingtense eye contact with the wolves. Unexpectedly a wolf further back then the rest put out the loudest howl Liam had ever heard, sending shivers down his spine. That’s when the wolves retreated back into the darkness. The crew returns back to the pane’s safety and appoints Bill as a night guard so that they could get some sleep. Later that night while the crew was fast asleep, Jason decides to leave...
