I approached the large crevice in the Earth with caution.
Staring down into its pits I could feel myself beginning to loosen up. The vast
land looked beautiful, each crack lined with a beautiful shade of blue or red.
The past few days had been extremely stressful for no particular reason other
than I was making a huge deal of nothing. I sat down allowing my feet to dangle
over the edge, flirting with danger was not something I would normally do. I
took a deep breath and focused on a bird across the void. It soared freely in
the wind not afraid of the dangers waiting below should its wings give out. I
considered the irony because for the first time in several months I felt free,
like the bird.
I really like this!You wrote such that I really felt able to share the moment.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the word count - it can be really hard!
It's funny because I remember back in school the teacher would say everyone write a 100 word essay. I used to get mad and say that's soooooo long.

Oooh, feet dangling over the edge... I can't even make myself imagine that!
