Chapter 1

February 19, 1997, at seven in the morning, Norman, his dad, and his dad’s girlfriend Sandra got on their bush plane at the Santa Monica Airport. They are going to the big bear mountains for a skiing trip. They flew for about an hour talking and watching the sky. They were flying at about 8600 feet. Norman saw a pine bristle streak past the window. He thought about spinning the trim dial but didn’t have time. Before he knew it their plane was split in parts. They were dangling 8693 feet on Ontario peak, balancing on the fine line between life and death. Norman goes unconscious.

Normans dad got the news and planned a trip to go with Norman, who’s is frightened that he might have to go. Norman went with his step dad out into their backyard, the beach, for a fight his step dad had set up between him and his neighbor Charlie. Norman ends up losing. He goes skate boarding and wipes out. He lies about where he gets the scrapes.

He then notices the pilot with no nose and his legs twisted and bent. He calls for his dad and sees him with his knees to his face and not moving. His step mom yells to him and tells him that he is dead. He denies
