The pressure builds in your ears as the plane rises higher, banking right. Your body reacts as usual to the loss of solid ground. You grab one of the sickbags and throw up.
You've always been bad on planes. Wiping your mouth, you dig into a pocket and pull out a foil-wrapped hard-boiled sweet. You unwrap it and pop it in your mouth. It alleviates the pressure in your ears somewhat, and overrides the taste of vomit with the sweet taste of strawberries. It also releases several trillion nanomachines that find their way through the lining of your mouth into your bloodstream, and begin to disperse to every region of your body.
The confectionary, the cheapest bit of transformative consumer product you were able to get your hands on, is the most integral part of your holiday. As it slowly dissolves, you feel your body starts to change.
