Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~Langoliers_2970~~Langoliers 2970.gif\|frame\|Do not taunt [[Happy Fun Ball\|Happy Fun]] [[Timey-Wimey Ball]].]] Imagine waking up on a plane and discovering that it, along with some of its passengers, had traveled... somewhere else. A place with no other people, no other living things, a place where sounds are dulled, there are no odors, nothing seems to work, and even time seems to be winding down. And you don't know if you'll be able to get home. Welcome to the past. The cleanup crew will be here soon. Pray you aren't here when they arrive... ''[['''The Langoliers]]''''' is a novella by [[Stephen King]], published in the anthology ''Four Past Midnight'' in 1990. It tells the tale of a handful of passengers on a cross-country redeye flight who wake to discover that the flight crew and most of their fellow passengers have vanished. They are unable to contact ground control, and they see only darkness below them. After making an emergency landing in Bangor, they soon discover the chilling truth, and must find a way to escape the approaching sounds that may spell their doom while dealing with one of their fellow passengers, who is having a psychotic breakdown. The novella was adapted into a two-part TV movie in 1995, starring [[Finding Neverland\|Kate Maberly]], Kimber Riddle, Patricia Wettig, Mark Lindsay Chapman, Frankie Faison, Baxter Harris, [[Quantum Leap\|Dean Stockwell]], David Morse, Christopher Collet and [[Perfect Strangers\|Bronson Pinchot]]. Line 85: * [[Waif Prophet]]: Dinah. * [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Toomy. Again. (Yes, he is both [[The "B" Grade]] ''and'' the [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]. Scary, isn't it?) * [[Worst Aid]]: {{spoiler\|Dinah is stabbed in the chest with a butcher knife. Then they pull it out.<ref> As indicated on the trope page, leaving the knife in, [[Reality Is Unrealistic\|contrary to public belief]], would have kept most of the blood in. Given the nature of her injuries, though, that wouldn't have necessarily have saved her life, but it would have at least made it more likely she would have survived.</ref>}} * [[Yeah! Shot]]: The end of the TV movie. ** The novella ended with a literary version.
