Chapter Text
It was still dark outside, the sun not even close to rising yet, but the airport was bathed in light. People walking around with their luggage trailing in front or behind them. Where are they heading? Which is their destination? Are they running from something or returning home? Is it vacation or official travel? Business or pleasure?
For those twenty-four persons, it was none of them. Twenty-four different personalities, everyone entering the waiting area from a different door or gate. But all of them heading to the same destination, the same country, the same place, for the same purpose; to prove that they can survive anything and emerge as winners. Each heard the announcement for the departure of their flight from a different speaker.
Santo Domingo, Caribbean.
They rose from their seats, and after putting their headphones, or glasses, or cell phones into place they made their way to the entrance of the plain.
Twenty-four different persons. Five months. One common goal. One winner.
It starts now.
