hoping a plane would see him.

Once again, his hopes were dashed.

“It’s the suburbs, Ed.

No one is going to land here,” his wife sighed.

Well done! I chuckled because I've seen them land in the suburbs but there usually isn't a happy ending when that happens.

I have an award for you!

Very clever!

I live near an army base and see lots of helios flying by. Maybe they're land in the suburbs?
