I was far away, but I saw him fall. It was on News TV. He didn’t fall far, but far enough. They said he landed wrong. Maybe he didn’t fall. Maybe he jumped. But it looked like he fell, the way he seemed to float off the ledge, head first. They named him in the report, showed his photo. I leaned closer to the TV.
It wasn’t the first time I’d seen him fall. The first time was in a park, on a slide. He tripped on the last step. Fell eight feet. Twisted in the air. I caught him then.
Great story!! I want to know more!!
Thanks! “Always leave them wanting more.”
Really liked this story and your delivery, it kept my attention to the last period. And, you’re right, many times we only get one second chance.
Thank you…or sometimes only one…
Succinct, brief, yet details of a back story flood my imagination. Deluge very much appreciated.
Thanks. Imaginary floods are good.
Very clear and very easy to piece everything together! Well done!
Thank you. Glad you liked it!
Great read!
