Description:

This is the email message you see staring back at you from your computer:

++++ You found out about your lover's secret rendevous? You found out your
boss had been withholding up to 30% of your earnings every week?  You are
tired of trying to write that article, when you feel dead inside?  Need an
escape from the awful life you are living?  ----THEN look no further, for
you have been chosen at random for this amazing offer:	A FREE flight
ticket on USS Flight 158, to the vacation spot of a lifetime!! ++++

You thought the email message link would take you to a website or register
your name for a drawing -- but the next day the flight ticket arrives in
the postal mail, in an unmarked brown envelope.  You call the airport and
find that the ticket is legitimate.  Then you celebrate.  You can finally
get away.  Life is so hard, you DESERVE this break!  You start packing.

USS Flight 158: sure, it�s an ordinary commercial air flight. But the
destination will not be the one printed on your ticket!  And the surprise
will be when you find out who sent you the ticket offer.

This is a freeform (no stats or dice) mystery/horror PBeM, operated by an
