4584. Up until the door is closed you feel that you can
somehow make a bolt for it and run back down the gangway, but once they close
and lock the door your fate has become sealed. Now there is no escape. The
future is planned out all in advance and ready to unfold exactly as in a bad
movie.
4585. Coromo took his seat, and he held the image of the
confident pilot in his mind. It
gave him the courage to manage the full-blown panic that was gripping him. He
had a seat by the window. The plane was half empty, so he had the seat all to
himself.
4586. Now we must say something about the plane. The plane
had only been in the air once before, it was a brand new craft, just put into
service. Ifs first voyage was out from Rome, and now it was to fly to New York,
and then back to Milan.
4587. From Milan it would travel back to Rome again. Since
it was a new plane, everything was especially clean and perfect looking. There
was not a single speck of dirt, or any blemish to the fabric anywhere.
