The first impact sounded like gunshots hitting metal. Then the sky went black. Passengers screamed as thousands of birds swooped down on the plane, turning the calm into pure terror. An engine exploded. The city loomed beneath them. Yet the birds didn’t leave. They weren’t attacking. They were coming for something… 

When the plane finally shuddered to a halt beside the lonely lakeside runway, survival seemed a miracle. Oxygen masks dangled, hands trembled, and sobs of gratitude filled the cabin. But outside, the nightmare held its breath. The birds didn’t disperse. They gathered, forming a living wall of wings and eyes, surrounding the plane as if it were prey. No one could explain why the attack continued, even with the engines shut down and the danger seemingly over.
