Enjoy an Exclusive Excerpt:
“What did you hit! Where is the plane?” the supervisor said frantically, hovering over Marcus’s shoulder.
When Marcus looked at the screen where there was once no blip there were now four and all of them were labeled SW3678.
“Southwest 3678 descend and maintain 5000”
“What are you doing? There’re already at 5000” the supervisor yelled.
Marcus ignored the supervisor and concentrated on the task at hand. Two planes coming in from the northwest, one coming from the south and southwest 3678.
His supervisor called the man next to him, “Jim take the handoff in the northwest and Paul take Pan 16 in south”
“Southwest 3678 cleared ILS 25 left approach”
Marcus wiped the sweat from his brow as he watched all 4 blips approach runway 25L.
“Southwest 3678 are you on the frequency?”
There was nothing but crackle.
“Southwest 3678 contact the tower.”
The blips started to ascend on the approach.
“No, no” Marcus whispered.
Just like it started, the plane began its descent and there was only one blip on the screen for flight 3678.
“It’s coming in too fast.” Marcus murmured
Then the sounds of SouthWest came back on and all they could hear were the cries of help from the aircraft.
Marcus didn’t think. “Emergency vehicles to 25L, everyone calling standby.”

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER CLAIMS SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, 416 DEAD
About the Author: Being a child of divorce, I have experienced both sides of the American Family. I understand there is a loss to the family unit, that no longer has a father in it. In the face of that loss, I discovered a woman can rise to the occasion and not replace a man but offer her own strength, moral compass and guidance. In this environment a child can grow up feeling loved, accepted and ultimately successful in life.
Those experiences in my formative years have made me more aware of the women around me and the daily feats of resourcefulness and ingenuity that goes unnoticed and unacknowledged by society. My stories highlight societal issues and the ever-changing challenges women face that I've observed during my life.
