"Wow."
My word echoed through the whole apartment-building. I turned around to go back into the elevator but then I realized that most of the electricity must be gone by now. That's probably why the lights turned off.
Were I stuck here?

I started balencing on the edge of floor that was left. I was trying to come to the nearest apartment. Dust and pieces of the floor fell down when I stepped my foot on the small peice of floor that was still remaining.

I was scared of hights.

I had a long way to the apartment door and a long way back to the elevator. No turning back, huh?

I looked down.
How stupid can you get?
I got dizzy and was two seconds away from falling down.
I found my balance.
I continued.

My heart was about to explode in my chest. My breath was aching and my tears started to fill up my eyes.
Three steps away from the door.
First step.
Second step.
Breath.
And at last the thrid ste...

I fell.
My scream echoed in the building.
This was the second time I faced my death.

Now I was sure. I was going to die.
Not immidiatly.
I will die a slow death.
I will live in 7 minutes more when I hit the floor.
The first minute I will feel the pain grow.
The second minute I will not be able to move a muscle.
The third minute I will see my blood sipper onto the dusty floor.
The fourth minute I will cry my last tears.
The fifth minute, I will see all my loved ones.
The sixth minute I will feel my heart slowing down.

Then the seventh minute everything will disapear into nothingness.
My panic, gone.
My pain, gone.
My worries, gone.
Everything will be turned to nothing.

I smashed the ground.
Everything went black for a minute.
The first minute I felt the pain grow.
The second minute I felt that I couldn't move a muscle.
The third minute I saw my blood sipper onto the dusty floor.
The fourth minute I cried my last tears.
The fifth minute I saw all my loved ones, and accepted that in two minutes I will be dead. Completly dead. My body will be just a piece of meat. My organs will slowly rotten. And as I said, no one will come to my funeral.
The sixth minute I felt my heart slow down.

The seventh minute was only 30 seconds away.
