I Missed The Plane

I ran to the gate and missed the plane by four minutes. Sweat was pouring down my face, and I was in tears after the airline representative told me I had missed it. I could still see the plane, but it had already pulled away from the jet bridge. I watched it slowly reverse, and tears streamed down my face. I was in shock. After calling the airline, I was rebooked for the same day and finally on my way. I was already in desperate need of a shower.
