autopilot disconnect its night over the water all I can see is rain slide across the windscreen as a red light glows on your face I looked at the sky and saw impact fuck.... you looked at the dash and found us a way back up F L three five zero black atlantic under cabin full of breathing, plastic cups, bad films left screen flickered right side argued numbers autothrust dropped an lost faith from the wings master warning lit the flight deck crimson stick shook hard, and the nose wont gain I heard the future getting forensic with us green dot aviation saying both our names as people as sequence as failures not weather our workload fatigue or doubt as one more flight where confirmation bias got fatal one wrong call and the sea reaches out I felt the aircraft quit being air trapped felt three hundred lives lean through our hands love wants violins life wants the checklist you had open before I could even understand you didnt say trust me you said say the pitch you said read the thrust you said stay with this Mayday, Kate Im losing the rate Mayday, Kate Im losing the rate I see the water you see the way I saw the ending you say my name Mayday, Kate Im losing the rate Mayday, Kate Im losing the rate the captain shouldnt brake when the flight level changed hundreds lived cos you stayed brave you said my aircraft I said your aircraft that was the first honest thing Id done you killed the sensor noise with lovecraft perfect pitch, power, memory items begun drama, speech, nope just scans and crosschecks no bullshit polished for passengers later unreliable speed and altitude suspect but your eyes stayed locked on the real behaviour you caught my tunnel vision before it went terminal cut through the clatter, the pull ups, the rain said dont break the needle set the known vertical hold on to me till we can rest this plane mentour pilot moments in the back of my mind some future breakdown of why we fell but you broke the chain and put us back on course and turned a deadly hurdle back into a tale we could tell I thought I saw the sea rehearsing our endings I thought this was our final day you saw airflow, attitude and engine settings and talked the jets into staying awake Mayday, Kate Im losing the rate Mayday, Kate Im losing the rate I see the water you see the way I saw the ending you say my name Mayday, Kate Im losing the rate Mayday, Kate Im losing the rate the captain shouldnt brake when the flight level changed hundreds lived cos you stayed brave stabilised standby Ive got you youve got us © 2026 Hotwife of Pi.
