I had never done it before and I certainly wasn’t about to start now.  I could hear echoes of chants not only from behind me, but in my head as well.  They encouraged me, pushed me (as I’m sure they wanted to do physically).  It was all stupid though; a stupid bet, my stupid cockiness, and that led to a stupid decision.  My eyes moved below, seeing only half of the picture with no intention of viewing the whole scene.  The voices built up though, the tension rose, and my anxiety with it all.  I inched closer to the edge until I could go no further, I tried not to look down.  I closed my eyes, inhaling what could be my last breath.  I took a leap of faith, I danced with air, I jumped.
