Plunge
The breeze caresses my face, as I soak in my surroundings. Down below the ripples bob constantly, moving in a direction known only to them. Anxiety surges in me like jolts of electricity. Twinging every pore of my body. I stand defiant, vertigo can’t stop me now. Gulping in a few breaths I take the plunge. Ready for the chill to hit me at any moment. SPLAT! The ripples stop moving, there has been a break in the surface. Everything comes to a still. A car is now in need of a new rooftop, and the erasure of human remains. There are murmurs all around, eyes watching in complete disbelief. No emotes can describe the shock etched on every face. I just don’t get it. They should be cheering, celebrating even. As another soul successfully escapes into the great beyond.
