For Rick Ross, flying used to be an exciting experience, but now it’s just another boring duty with little flash and glamour. His days start and end in the sky as he flies frantically from one place to another, a vital but tiresome aspect of his existence.
Rick Ross must make his way through the busy airport terminals every morning, where the thrill of flying has long since dissipated. The noises of frantic footfall, announcements, and the constant hum of departure boards fill the pre-dawn hours. The typical processes he goes through at security checkpoints become monotonous and unremarkable.
He boards another flight and takes a seat, behaving almost tritely as he gets comfortable. The once-inspiring aerial views outside the window no longer inspire awe. Gone is the majesty of ascending to the skies and in its stead is a yearning for home comforts and solid ground.
Rick Ross hops from plane to plane over the day, each trip vanishing into the next. The once-new and thrilling in-flight amenities have become dated. The constant drone of the aircraft’s engines adds to the routine’s monotony and sends him into a condition of mind-numbing ennui.
His time spent at several airports in between flights seems like an endless layover. Though the sight is always changing due to the busy airports and packed gates, he has become accustomed to it and considers it an ordinary part of his everyday life.
The last part of his trek home weighs heavily on him as dusk falls. The once-vibrant sky outside his window grows gloomy as fatigue sets in. His life on the road was once filled with amazement, but today he is constantly reminded of how monotonous the lights of far-off cities are.
Rick Ross, relieved to be free of the cramped plane and the tedious routine of air travel, steps off the airplane late at night. The monotony of the day’s travel follows him home, serving as a constant reminder of the demanding cycle that will start again the next morning.
Rick Ross views the skies as both a workplace and a prison, an endless cycle of flights that blend into an ordinary continuum that makes him yearn for a break from the monotonous routine of dawn to twilight.
