Stacey hit her head on something sharp.
She became aware of the sensation of feeling very wet, and very cold.
She opened her eyes, but they just stung and she was forced to squeeze them shut in agony again. She reached out, but could feel almost nothing.
Then she went underneath the surface and it all went black again.
Carson woke up clutching a torn piece of the plane's wing. He couldn't see Stacey anywhere, but at least his head was clear of the water.
"God, if this is heaven, I demand a refund," he spluttered out weakly.
He caught sight of the fuel lines nearby: they had come loose from the wreckage and had obviously been purposefully cut.
He drew in his breath at the sight of them. This couldn't have been an accident.
Stacey, I need to find Stacey. he thought.
He weakly started to fish around under the water, looking for something. His hand closed around a small hard object... their GPS. It was dead to the world and completely unusable.
That was when Carson looked around and saw nothing but water, calm water, for hundreds of miles in any direction. He put his head down on the wing and went to sleep.
