High above a freeway, a girl gripped the overpass railing. She almost slipped as she maneuvered onto the tiny ledge, and for one second she felt a sheer moment of panic, clutching and grasping for balance.
The wind was strong. The traffic was a whir below her, a river of cars and headlights streaming together. Her hands were fresszing; numb cramping. The gold snake pendant at her collarbone glinted even in the dark.
Everything felt hazy--the blackness before her eyes and the blackness of her thoughts. She was breathes away from jumping. She could feel the darkness moving through her,
And then she leaped. She was flying. Falling
In a flash, she realized she couldn't take it back.
Her lungs whew being squeezed to pinpricks. She couldn't breathe. Icy air swirled around her, terror radiating through her body.
She clawed at nothingness.
She screamed.
