Fall of Venus
“Marcus seems to have found his second wind and shoves me forward. Being shot at does that to you. When we emerge from the dense cavern of brush, I look back to see those three crazy mountain men upstream coming towards us, aiming their rifles.
Marcus pulls my arm but I resist. “We can’t go that way!” I say, remembering the crashing waterfall.
“We’ve got no choice!” he shouts at me. Another bullet whizzes by, alarming me into submission. I go with him, but stop short of the ledge and take anothe...r peek down. It’s so steep. I wouldn’t say I’m afraid of heights, but, then again, I’ve never stood at the threshold of a cliff, preparing to jump. I’m not even sure if we would survive the fall. And if so, what kinds of injuries we might sustain.
Marcus is still holding on to my arm when I hear another gunshot, this time much closer. Marcus pulls me again and I jump without hesitation.
I’ve heard that the feeling of freefall is terrifying, yet exhilarating. I guess that’s why people enjoy the thrill of skydiving.MoreLess
