Free Falling

Hi guys,

So I know I've been M.I.A for a while, no real excuse for that but I've also had a massive writers block so that was annoying....

Anyways, I wrote this for a competition but I didn't enter it.

I'm also working on another story, really slowly but enjoy my upload :O)

"Come to the edge," he said.

And so she came.

And he pushed her.

And she flew.

I flew through the air with a giant leap as his hands left my back, the rush of adrenaline from leaping was pumping through my veins and I've never felt so alive in one moment.

Who would have thought that jumping from that ledge could bring on these kinds of feelings? The feeling of being so high in the air with nothing underneath me to catch me when I fall was exhilarating. The terrifying thoughts of suddenly falling were pushed to the back of my mind as I took in everything around me flying past so fast.

I let out a scream in excitement as I felt the air rush through my hair throwing every strand this way and that, some in my mouth, over my eyes and wrapping around my shoulders and trailed behind me. The whipping of my hair stings my arms and face; I reach up and tuck it behind my ear, brushing it out of my face.

My eyes water as the cold air runs over my skin as I feel it pricking with tiny goose bumps from all the sweat, I begin to shiver a little. Next time I'll have to bring a jumper with me.

The feeling of being so close to nature was amazing and I reach out and touch the trees feeling the leaves and texture of the tree bark. I feel a tiny prick which I hold close to my face to see a small slice across my index finger. Blood started to show in a small bead, but I just place my finger in my mouth and look around me.

I look forward to where I need to go and notice the tree in front of me approaching and I got ready to land. I watch as the tree gets closer and closer. I swing my feet in front of me to hit the ramp. I land with a thud and grabbed the wire above me so that I didn't go backwards. I walk up the little ramp and unhook the clips that held me to the wire and walk along the platform to get to the next activity of the high ropes course.
