   Looking down cliff, a girl awaited herself at the bottom. She'd stare straight down not noticing how the wind danced around her sides and the movement of the trees began to make their whisper of a song. Everything was quite but the rattling steps she took in order to look closer within the void. She'd say nothing in hopes to return to her senses, yet she'd know humanity didn't wait for her up there. Everything suddenly turned to a warm sulking yellow, which made the feeling of warmth present to her again. Looking up one last time to see the sunset, she'd make a small smile to her face. Knowing that in time of 7 years no one would remember her or even her name, that the world around her didn't need to know her story since she was the one at fault. Her feet moved around, her back facing toward the warm sun she'd look up then down, but then her eyes would close. 

  She'd whisper, "I'm home", under her breath. Lean back as the breeze danced with her as she'd plummet down the cliff. She'd open her eyes to see the darkness of the void take her in. Suddenly everything came to a stop...she was no more.
