Speed of Sound

Jan 1996
Gently gliding on the wind,
above the noise of the
world below. It's quiet
now, but sound is the
enemy.

Right on schedule, you
start to pour on the
thrust. You feel the kick
from behind as you get shot
forward, and get pushed
back into the seat.

How many had tried this?
How many had died trying?
It gets noisier. The wall
of sound is slowly building
up at the nose of the
plane, and in seconds, you
be making your try ay
busting through. The sound
barrier. A wall of air
pressure made from your own
engines. The harder the
engine tries, the louder
they scream, the harder the
wall gets. Things shake,
things rattle, but somehow,
some way..

The blast hits you, and
then is gone. Going faster
than sound, the first
person ever, no noise can
catch you.

Somewhere behind you, the
broken wall of sound
chases you franticly.

The enemy, sound, has been
defeated. The new enemy is
the photon.
