She stands at the edge of a precipice, cool wind her hair. There's air all around her, nothing below her feet. It tugs at her bare toes, her clothes. Beckoning. Daring her to take the plunge into waters unknown. But dare she? There's monsters in that darkness, in the space below. They'll be waiting for her with beady eyes and sweaty skin. Waiting for one false move to tear her down.
But the future lies in that darkness. To move forward, she must take that plunge. Can she do it? Her eyes on their lurking forms she leaps off that platform, dives into that empty space. They reach for her, but she is faster. Their claws meet nothing but air as she swirls past them, racing for the other side. She knows that they won't stop. She knows that they will try to drag her down. She knows that everyday will be a struggle. But she knows that in the end, she'll be okay.
