Altitude

"I remember the screams, the look of terror on people's faces. I also remember a pair of green eyes, greener than mine, staring into me, full of hope for a lost cause...expecting me to be the hero. I've learned to expect things, the good and the bad...but I never expected this. You don't know how sudden something can occur until it does, leaving you with only so much you can hold onto. I sometimes wonder if I had saw this tragic accident on the news, whether I would look at it like some other depressing story and move one with my life. But this is different. Having to live it, and it staying with you...for the rest of you life. I went from being a normal teenager to a stranded girl with no way home in 2 minutes...those 2 minutes were the longest of life."
