Best of 2024: Last Flight Out — A Haunting Tale of Love, Loss, and Mystery in the Skies
On a Boeing 757 from Atlanta to Seattle, nervous traveler Sheila meets an elderly stranger whose story of love, loss, and a dead child grows more unsettling as turbulence overtakes the flight.
Charles Campbell’s “The Last Flight Out,” narrated by Henrique Couto, turns an ordinary airline conversation into supernatural aviation horror about grief, memory, and the ties that may survive death.
As we settle into our seats, Sheila is anxiously managing her carry-ons and studying the passengers around her when she meets Otis Thornton, an engaging man in his seventies. Their conversation begins lightly, then deepens as Otis recounts his courtship with his late wife, Ella, and the tragedy that shaped their family.
The warmth of Otis’s memories contrasts with the cold aircraft cabin as the flight becomes increasingly rough. Each jolt of turbulence pulls Sheila further into his account, blurring a tender love story with a growing sense that something about the journey—and her seatmate—is not what it appears to be.
This Best of 2024 presentation combines emotional ghost-story suspense, airline disaster dread, and a haunting meditation on unresolved grief without giving away the story’s final destination.

00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:05.440
Hello, my spookies. It's your host and narrator Enrique Cuto
2
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:09.400
here bringing you another little bit of terror that made
3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:13.480
twenty twenty four so damn special. This is a story
4
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:16.359
that if you missed out on it last year, you
5
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:18.519
really need to give it a listen. And if you've
6
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:22.519
heard it before, maybe it's time to hear it again.
7
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.120
A story by our good pal and Horror for twenty
8
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:30.879
one podcast host Charles Campbell. It's all about getting on
9
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:35.679
an airplane and realizing that your destination may be more
10
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:41.359
than you realize. So kick back, relax and enjoy this story.
11
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.960
And I'll be back here on Wednesday with the fourth
12
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.840
installment of the Spin the Bottle series. But now enjoy
13
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:58.600
the last flight out by Charles Campbell. Zone one is boarding.
14
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.880
Everyone with a boarding pass and Zone one are cleared
15
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:05.840
to board flight seven fifty two from Hartsfield Jackson International
16
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.560
to Seattle. Please present your boarding pass and be prepared
17
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.040
to have carrions checked if they will not fit in
18
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:16.400
the overhead compartment or under your seat. The pretty petite
19
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.920
blonde wearing the Delta name tag smiled as passengers lined
20
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.000
up to board the two hundred and eighty four passenger
21
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:27.200
ready bowing seven fifty seven three hundred. Sheila popped out
22
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:31.280
her earbuds the sounds of Maria Maria by Santana emitted
23
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.799
from the tiny dangling speakers, and took another glance at
24
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.799
her boarding pass, hoping it would magically change zones from
25
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:43.159
four to one. She had two carry ons, and if
26
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.920
her luck was per usual, she would end up checking
27
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:50.439
the overhead bag because a few inconsiderate passengers would overstuff
28
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.719
their allotments, leaving most of zones three and four in
29
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.439
the baggage lurch. The airport was crowded with your typical
30
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.959
mix of people, business types with iPads and laptops in hand,
31
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:05.599
stressed out parents herding up their children, and more than
32
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.479
a couple of people that Sheila prayed would not be
33
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.080
seated beside her because they would overlap over a quarter
34
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.879
of the way into her Economy class seat. Another ten
35
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.560
minutes passed before Sheila heard the sweet sound of now
36
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.479
boarding zone four. Sheila made her way past the smiling
37
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.960
blonde that scanned her boarding pass and was pleasantly surprised
38
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.879
that she wasn't asked to check her carry ons. As
39
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.159
she cleared the entrance ramp, and stepped into the jetliner.
40
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:38.080
Okay twenty two CE, Sheila mumbled as she held her
41
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.520
laptop bag out in front of her, with the Duffel
42
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.000
bag dangling behind as she navigated down the middle aisle
43
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.800
finding her window seat. This really is my lucky day,
44
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:50.479
Sheila thought to herself as she was one of the
45
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.560
last passengers to board. In the compartment right above her seat,
46
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.240
there was a hole just big enough to stuff her
47
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.319
Duffel bag, leaving her laptop to be shoved under the
48
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.599
seat in front of her. Sheila took her seat, strapped
49
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.479
her belt, and was asleep before the flight attendant gave
50
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:11.439
instructions on emergency exits and safety belts. This is the
51
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.800
captain speaking. We have now achieved an altitude of ten
52
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:19.439
thousand feet. You may now use approved electronic devices. Please
53
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.439
keep your seat belts fastened. Thank you for flying Delta
54
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.599
flight seven fifty two to Seattle. Hi. Dear, I hope
55
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.960
I didn't wake you. A spindly old man reached across
56
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.639
the middle seat and gently tapped on Sheila's arm. She
57
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.960
turned to look upon the smiling elderly man, whose hand
58
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.599
was still gently placed on her shoulder. His were the
59
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.120
hands of a man who'd seen their share of hard labor,
60
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.000
the hands of a man that had been on top
61
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.680
of many a roof on many a hot summer's day. No, sir,
62
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:54.199
you didn't wake me. My name's Sheila Baker, she said,
63
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.680
as she patted the man's fingers on her right shoulder
64
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:01.400
with her left hand. I'm Otis Thornton. The skinny seventy
65
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.759
something smiled at Sheila with teeth that, to her surprise,
66
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.639
appeared to be all his one hundred percent and not
67
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.879
a spot of yellow on them. Pleased to meet you,
68
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:18.759
mister Otis interrupted, No, mister, just Otis. Sheila smiled and said, O,
69
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.000
k Otis looks like we have a little breathing room. Huh.
70
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.959
Sheila patted the empty seat that separated them, not that
71
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.199
it would have made that much of a difference if
72
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:30.160
he was sitting in the seat right next to her.
73
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.600
Otis was a little over five six and couldn't have
74
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.160
been any more than one hundred and twenty five pounds.
75
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.160
Soaking wet, he was immediately engaging with light green eyes
76
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.079
that shouted kindness. Sheila had to stop herself from reaching
77
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.360
out and touching the full head of neatly combed snow
78
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:52.000
white hair. Oh, the pleasure is all mine, ODIs started.
79
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:54.759
I don't get to sit beside beautiful women that much
80
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:59.920
any more, well, not since I lost my dearest Ella.
81
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.240
The kind eyes told a story that Sheila desperately wanted
82
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:08.759
to hear. Otis, I must say that I am pleased
83
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.720
that you will be my company on this flight. Sheila
84
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.800
shuffled in her seat so she was facing Otis directly,
85
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.839
and pushed a strand of her hanging brown hair back
86
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:22.439
behind her left ear. Well, thank you, Sheila. I'm an
87
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.079
old man that likes to talk. Just let me know
88
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.439
if I start to talk, your ears off and I'll
89
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:31.399
be quiet. Well, thank you, Otis. I'm a thirty two
90
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.680
year old woman that likes to listen, So talk all
91
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:40.279
you want. You might regret that invitation. Sheila. Otis's eyes
92
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.279
lit up with the prospect of sharing his story with her.
93
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:54.560
Try me, okay, here it goes, and Otis began. It
94
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.079
was the summer of nineteen fifty eight when I first
95
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:01.240
laid eyes on Ella Stanton was working at the Snow
96
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.439
Cap as a roller waitress, and she was very good
97
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:07.439
at it. I remember hearing the wheels of the skates
98
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.360
whisked by on the asphalt as she left behind a
99
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:14.680
sweet trail of lightly applied perfume while she rolled to
100
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:19.079
and fro and back and forth. Her auburn hair was
101
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.839
like a campfire at sunset, and her skin was fair
102
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:27.240
and as soft as a butterfly's kiss, at least as
103
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.680
soft as how I like to imagine a butterfly's kiss.
104
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.439
I was a young man of twenty three when she
105
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.680
first smiled and batted her brown eyes at me. You see,
106
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.920
I helped my father back in those days. He was
107
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.680
a self made, hard working man. Otis Thornton Sor moved
108
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.720
to Augusta, Georgia with my mother, Genie, when I was
109
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:52.319
a toddler, way back in the early forties. I take
110
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:55.240
after my father in the way that I'm built, spindley
111
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:57.639
and all. But I have my mother's face and my
112
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:01.680
hair used to be sandy blonde in another lifetime. Anyway,
113
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:06.439
back to my angel. I remember my hands ached like
114
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.759
the dickens from laying shingles on that hot July day
115
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.279
when Ella rolled into my life. I remember that I
116
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.800
ordered a double cheeseburger all the way and a coke float.
117
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:20.120
When Ella said, you sure, are skinny? You think you
118
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.759
can handle the double? Did I mention my father was
119
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.639
there with me? Well, he was, and he answered for
120
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.959
me because my mouth couldn't speak the words outside of
121
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:34.160
the order that I had just blurted out. Yeah, I've
122
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.839
seen him eat four thick pork chops with just as
123
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.319
many mashed taters at home and still be hungry, young lady.
124
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.800
My father gave her an Eastwood squint with a turned
125
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:47.480
up grin and continued, I'll have the same thing, but
126
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.639
I'll take the coke without the float. From that day on,
127
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.879
I visited Ella at least three times a week, mostly
128
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.319
without my father, although he would still come along once
129
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:00.439
in a while when he got the crazy for the
130
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:04.680
goodness of that double burger. This went along for about
131
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.199
two or three months before I got up the courage
132
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.040
to court Ella. My father told mother about Ella about
133
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:14.319
two weeks into me missing too many home cooked meals.
134
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.720
Then they were both on to me. My mother wanted
135
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.959
grandchildren as I was an only child. There was something
136
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.040
about her lady parts that didn't quite work. Right after
137
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.920
I was born. I remember that she doated over me
138
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:30.120
enough for four children, so much as a boy. All
139
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.960
the way up to and through manhood. Ella's mother, Lucille,
140
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:37.000
is where she got that auburn hair and fair skin.
141
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.559
Her father, Thomas Stanton, worked at the True Value hardware store,
142
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.720
selling hammers, wrenches, nails and what not. All Ella got
143
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:49.240
from him was the brown eyes. I remember them staring
144
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:51.480
through me the first time I came calling on his
145
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:55.600
youngest daughter. Ella had two older sisters that at the
146
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:59.639
time were already married off, Genie to some business man
147
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.840
named Earl, and if I recall correctly, Francine, who married
148
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:08.440
a butcher named Steve or Sam something that started with
149
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.320
an s. Anyway, Ella was the last chickadee left, and
150
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.360
Daddy Hawk certainly favored her over the two that had
151
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.600
flown the coop. Lucille took to me right away, but
152
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.120
Thomas Stanton took a lot of coaxing. He had to
153
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:25.440
meet my father to gauge my stock in upbringing. I
154
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.279
could tell from our first handshake that he favored the
155
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.720
callous that had developed on my hand. He knew from
156
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:34.279
that first shake that I didn't have the hands of
157
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:39.639
a paper pusher, or god forbid, an insurance salesman. Mister
158
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:42.519
Stanton knew I came by an honest wage from the
159
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:45.600
sweat of my brow. That was a wind for me
160
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:50.159
right up front. Even with that, it still took coaxing. Sheila,
161
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:55.000
I hope I'm not boring you so far. Otis not
162
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:58.000
at all. It's the opposite. I don't want you to
163
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.240
stop until you tell me everything. It's a long flight,
164
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.600
and your story has me hooked. Sheila could feel the
165
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.559
stress of her life melting away as she listened to
166
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:13.759
the tale of Otis and Ella. Okay, then and Otis continued.
167
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.360
So Ella and I married almost a year after I
168
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.519
met her father for the first time. About a year
169
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.039
after that, we welcomed our baby girl, Marilyn, into the world.
170
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.159
Marilyn turned out to be a pediatrician. All of my
171
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.120
work on all those roofs with my father did that.
172
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.120
That's something I'm very proud of. Ella's father never saw
173
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:38.240
our second child, Otis. He died of a heart attack
174
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.840
in his back yard weeding when Ella was pregnant with
175
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:44.120
little Otis. We went back and forth on the name
176
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:46.600
for a bit, but my father wanted to keep the
177
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.080
Otis name going. And the truth of it was, Thomas
178
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.639
Stanton wasn't around to object, and my lovely mother in law, Lucille, well,
179
00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.919
she just fell to pieces and her baby girl, My wife,
180
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:02.840
my sweet Ella, wasn't far behind on the falling to
181
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:08.440
piece's train. Don't go away, weekly, spooky, We'll be right
182
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:15.320
back on top of it. She was pregnant with little Otis,
183
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.000
with a toddler at her feet, and the stress of
184
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:21.000
it all was almost more than she could bear, to
185
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:24.279
tell the truth, looking back on it now, it was,
186
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.480
and I know this may sound selfish, almost more than
187
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.120
I should have been able to bear. But my father
188
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.440
raised a pillar of strength. And that's not just me
189
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:37.639
boasting my dear. I truly was like a block of
190
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.919
granite in those days. Thomas's funeral was on September twenty
191
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:45.799
second in nineteen sixty two, and little Otis was born
192
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.679
just two days later, on the twenty fourth. In those days,
193
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:54.080
folks hadn't heard of anything like postpartum depression. We just
194
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:58.120
called it the baby blues. And Ella's father passing combined
195
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:00.759
with it, didn't give little Otis much of a chance.
196
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.519
I just didn't know it back then. Ella's sisters came
197
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.519
down for the funeral, but they sure didn't hang around
198
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:11.840
to comfort Lucille, let alone. The birth of their new nephew.
199
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:15.240
I guess they were grieving in their own way, but
200
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:17.559
they sure as hell got out of Dodge before the
201
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:21.960
soil in their father's grave had even settled. I think
202
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.799
the guy whose first name began with an S was
203
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:29.000
behind Francine's early departure. I just don't think Genie was
204
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:31.919
strong enough to hang around a minute longer than she
205
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.440
felt was required. It was a few months after little
206
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.120
Otis was born that Lucille started to come out of it,
207
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:41.639
and it was all due to little Otis. The baby
208
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.879
blues and grief still had its lock on my darling Ella.
209
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:47.399
I had to keep food on the table, so I
210
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:51.159
stayed on rooftops with my father. My mother kept little
211
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:54.200
Otis about a quarter of the time, and Lucille kept
212
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.799
him the rest of the time. My mother could see
213
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.879
that Lucille needed that baby more than she did, and
214
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.320
although I could see it hurt her to give up
215
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.679
her time with little Otis, she knew if Lucille couldn't
216
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.559
hang on to that baby, then she wouldn't be far
217
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:13.679
behind mister Stanton taking up residence in Bellevue Memorial Gardens.
218
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.679
A big thing that helped was mother did spend a
219
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:21.240
lot of time with sweet Maryland, Sheila. Next is the
220
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:27.200
hard part. You still want to listen? Otis, I don't
221
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:30.440
know what to say. Sheila was transfixed on the old
222
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:34.080
man with the green eyes and calloused hands. Just then,
223
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:37.840
flight attendant susy Q from who knows where interrupted them.
224
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:43.919
Peanuts are cookies? Excuse me, Sheila asked, because absolutely nothing
225
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:48.120
Flight Attendant susye Q said registered in her brain. Otis
226
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:51.120
smiled with all his real teeth on display, and said,
227
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:55.240
I like the salty peanuts please, and a coke if
228
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:58.799
you've got one in that cart. I do, replied susie
229
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:05.240
c miss anything for you. Sheila answered, salty peanuts and
230
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.519
a coke. Otis tipped the red and white can in
231
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:12.159
Sheila's direction as susy Q rattled by, and he asked,
232
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:18.000
shall I continue? Yes? Sheila was too far in now
233
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.159
she had to hear the rest of it, and Otis continued.
234
00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:26.320
Little Otis had the colic pretty bad, and I was
235
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:28.879
up many a night tending to him because of Ella's
236
00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:33.919
delicate state. My days with Father always started early, and
237
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:37.080
with Little Otis, if I could get four straight hours
238
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.639
of good sleep on any given night, that was a blessing.
239
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:44.960
Most nights, it was closer to three hours and sometimes two.
240
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.000
It was November eighteenth, and it started with a cold rain.
241
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:53.039
Ella was clearing up the supper dishes, Marylyn was playing
242
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.200
with her dolls on the living room floor, and Little
1
00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:05.440
2
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:09.400
3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:13.480

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:16.359

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:18.519

00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:22.519

00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.120
8
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:30.879
9
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:35.679
10
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:41.359
