#Chapter5

Falling

A small girl of about seven stood at the edge of a steep hill. A huge board hung above /"Bungee jumping/" written in clear and bold letters across it. The man in front of her smiled encouragingly, offering her his hand, but she was too scared to even move. /"Come on./" the man said /"You won't regret it./" The girl didn't budge, she just let out a whimper.

The man kept his tone soothing but he was getting impatient. /"Come on darling. Don't be scared, I won't let anything happen to you. Promise./" He tried again offering his hand, the girl still didn't move. /"Honey, the other people waiting behind you in line for their turn are getting upset./" the man said with a small frown.

Suddenly the little girl felt a hand squeeze her shoulder she looked up and saw her mother's beautiful face. Her pale skin seemed to glow in the sunlight, her dark mane of hair flowing freely behind her in the wind. Her kind eyes smiled down at her daughter.
