Jump. That's all I have to do. To leave this godforsaken world... to be free. I look down, my toes at the edge, to see everyone staring up at me.

Its now or never. I block out the feeling and emotions that remain. I lift my left foot. I lean forward. I hear people screaming as I lose touch of the building. As the wind rushes past me, I say my last goodbyes to the world. People are right when they say that your life flashes before your eyes...
