The man lay stretched across three seats at the front of the aircraft. A stewardess knelt on the floor beside him, the steady blast of cool air from the overhead ventilator had blown her hair free from the grip of the lacquer and it lay in thick strands across her forehead. She looked up gratefully as the ambulance man appeared beside her. She got awkwardly to her feet, her legs stiff from being folded under her. The ambulance men snapped the stretcher open and laid it in the aisle. They tossed aside the airline blanket that covered the passenger and lifted him onto the taught canvas. The man was shivering violently but his face was glossy with sweat. His breathing was swift and shallow. His eyes opened and closed as if he were drifting in and out of sleep.
