On the Verge of Falling

It was quite chilly for a summer night, a cool breeze was brushing my brunette hair and I was ready to face whatever stood before me. All my life I had been held back, I had been told to observe but never interfere. Don't get me wrong I am not the kind that would intentionally want to bud into people's business, though in some cases it's crucial to speak up.

A series of things had led me to what I was about to do right now. Not only was I done lying for others, but once and for all I wanted to stop being their puppet. If they thought they could sweet talk me into testifying on their behalf, then they're wrong.

I took a deep breath as I placed my right hand on the handle. Opened an old door that led to the courtroom, the door's rusty hinges made a dramatic squeaky sound as I entered the room.
