Mom: sighs Heyyy, hun, your dad and I... we're splitting up. Just wanted to let you know....
IllusiveMarsh
I look out the window in shock W-WHAT!?!?!!? I see the bears hitting the plane
Mom: I know, sweetie.
Suddenly the plane is hit by a swarm of grizzly bears.
Mom: What the-
The pilot comes on the intercom.
Pilot: Mayday mayday!
Mom: Oh God...
IllusiveMarsh
"uhh okay." I say while looking out the window.
Mom: notices you looking out the window What are you looking at?
IllusiveMarsh
What?! Why?
sighs It's complicated... We're just not compatible anymore. Your father and I are too different people with different goals in life, and we've grown apart over the years....
IllusiveMarsh
Oh….okay….I say quietly as I stare out the window
Mom notices your quiet demeanor and puts a hand on your shoulder.
Mom: I know it's not easy to hear, hun... but sometimes things just don't work out the way we want them to...
IllusiveMarsh
My eyes widen in shock but I stay silent
I put a hand on your shoulder and give it a reassuring squeeze.
Mom: I know it's hard to hear, but we both feel like this is the best decision for us.
As she says this, there's a loud crash against the side of the plane.
IllusiveMarsh
Well shit. I say calmly while looking out the window at the ground far below us.
Mom glances out the window and sees what you're looking at.
Oh God... oh no...
IllusiveMarsh
You can't be serious. Are you messing with me?
Mom: I'm afraid not, sweetie. We just couldn't make it work...
IllusiveMarsh
"What? why?" I feel my heart sink in worry
Mom takes a deep breath before speaking again.
Mom: We just haven't been happy together for a long time now... we're too different, y'know? Your dad's always going on about his hunting trips and being in the wilderness, while I want to explore the city and try new things....
IllusiveMarsh
What? Why? I look at her shocked
Mom: sighs We've been fighting a lot lately. Your dad and I just haven't been able to get along anymore... it's not working out between us.
Suddenly, the plane is rocked by an explosion as a swarm of grizzly bears smashes through the windows!
IllusiveMarsh
I look over at my mom shocked What?! Why?
Mom: sighs again Well... Your father and I are just too different now. We don't agree on anything anymore.... And we've been fighting constantly for months.
We tried couples therapy but it didn't help....
Dad: nods sadly It's true. We're not meant for each other anymore....
