"MAYDAY! MAYDAY! WE'RE GOING DOWN!"

I grab the controls and using the force of my whole body, almost yank them up from their bearings as I desperately try turning the nose of the helicopter.

"GET THE PARACHUTES! GET OUT NOW!!"

I scream with every ounce of my being as my body surges with adrenaline.

All I can do gasp for air, trying to inflate my lungs before we slam into the ocean.

Oh god.

WE ARE GOING TO CRASH.

Then I'm hit in the head by a steel-ironed fist.

"DYLAN! WE JUST PUT THE KIDS DOWN!!"

Whoops.

I take off my headphones.

"Sorry Dad."

The screen flashes:

"GAME OVER."
