-
- Pitch black. In daytime, the old construction area looked somewhat like
- an amusement park, but now, it had the feeling of a scene from one of those
- Terminator movies. The big metal monster ahead of her seemed to stretch its
- long arm towards her, but she was not afraid. She knew the crane couldn't hurt
- her. Nothing could at this moment. The pounding sound was the only sound that
- penetrated her brain. It was almost like her heartbeat ran through her legs
- and down into her shoes, that had to be the source of the sound, walking on
- the metal platforms. In a couple of minutes, the monsters' rusty metal eyes
- would light up the scene, making it impossible to stay unnoticed. She had to
- hurry, even though she didn't want to.
-
- Taking that first step up the ladder made it impossible for her to ever
- go back. Arms hurting. It didn't matter. She looked up, and found she was
- only half way, but didn't believe it. They had said it would only take
- seconds, and then it was all over, you never had the time to think. But
- this felt like a lifetime. She checked her watch. Had it stopped? Probably
- not. A few steps. Made her think. Think about when everything had been
- 'normal'. Only three weeks ago. Then suddenly, it happened. Not once, but
- twice. Everyone talked, wondering who'd be next in line, but no-one dared
- to guess. She hadn't either though she couldn't help hearing what the others
- said. Their voices almost telling her she was the one. And one day, she
- couldn't stand it any more. Had to do it. Had to.
-
- She reached the top and felt the wind caressing her body. Sat down
- with her legs over the edge for a minute. The rope lay next to her. She
- picked it up, to make sure it would hold. She didn't want it to break
- and make her look like a loser. A failure. Looking down, she noticed
- that some people had gathered, and hoped that no-one would try to stop
- her. When she stood there, ready as she ever could be, the rope almost
- felt too tight. It was hard to swallow. But it was time. Time to go
- through with it. There was no turning back. One step into the air and
- she fell. They had lied. She did have time to think. Pictures flashed
- in front of her eyes, and she could hear the crowd scream below her.
- Waited for the rope to bring her to a halt, and about a second before she
- would have hit the ground, she felt it. The rope stretched and then
- retracted, pulling her back up in the air again. Just like they had said
- it would.
