about

On a flight leaving L.A. heading towards Washington, D.C..
Detective John Sandy stares stoically out the window. His partner Dick Eggins shuffles papers nervously beside him. Watching the rain lap the window and gazing into the electrical storm, that looked like you had put a piece of aluminum foil in the microwave. John Sandy was wondering how he let this happen yet again? How did OctoStrange slip through his fingers?
This may have been his last mistake in the agency. The Captain will surley have his badge this time. John silently wondered to himself, Should he have listened to rookie detective Dick Eggins? Should they have stayed in DC? Is this monster only in his imagination?

No! He knew what he saw! He saw his partner Jorge Santiago ripped apart by a 50 foot octopus! His partners wife widowed, belly swollen with child.
Suddenly the plane lurched with turbulence, this didn't phase Sandy. His mind still lost in thought. He looked over at the rookie Eggins, who was now clutching the arm rests of his chair, papers sprawled out.
John Sandy's mind flashed to the .38 revolver in his desk at home, and he thought about fixing himself one last stiff drink.... and when this plane finally landed, he aimed to do just that.

Will John Sandy ever find OctoStrange? Will Dick Eggins ever convince Sandy that this creature is just a figment of his imagination? Airplane Food, whats up with that? find out on this episode of OctoStange!
