It takes him even longer to realise that this wasn't on his own accord and longer for the blood rushing in his ears to quiet down enough to hear the screaming from the people near the edge when he fell. It's like his life slowed down. It's like rocks are hitting his head with memories flashing every few seconds. "Holy fucking shit." He's going to die, and it won't be his fault.

He can't feel the air rushing past his arms. What? He opens his eyes that he had no memory of closing, looking around. He locks face first with George. Great, he's dead. Wait.
