Lovely Disabilities

Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you really are.
-Felix Baumgartner

Sweat began to pour down my face as the heat in my body creeped up onto my cheeks. My body roamed nervously as I watched a timer strike 00:00:00. I slowly stepped out of the building, and wiped the hot wet tears rolling off the corner of my eyes with my sleeve. The cool Autumn air brushed through my hair as I watched the clouds move with time. Leaves rushingly chased after each other competing in a swirl. I began to relax. The ground transformed in to a glass floor reflecting the sky and the building behind me disappeared. The sudden sound of foot steps pulled me out of my peaceful trance. A man passed by me letting the gentle breeze follow him. We were alone, I thought.

He turned around and our eyes met.
