He’d envisioned himself landing in time to surprise his father for his birthday. Now, the surprise would be the absence.

He stared at the ground, a churning disquiet bubbling up within him. His entire travel itinerary, carefully crafted over weeks, lay in tatters. He ran a hand through his hair, a gesture of helplessness. What was he supposed to do?

He felt adrift in a sea of uncertainty, the familiar landmarks of his expectations dissolving.
