I am falling. I am falling very quickly and for a very long time, slipping through the air at astonishing speed, the wind biting at my face and forcing my eyes shut, even though I know I'd only see the rapidly increasing ground if I opened them. I know why I am falling. I am falling because I was pushed from the mountain. I am falling because I was betrayed.

I know I will die, and I know it will be soon. I'll hit the ground and die instantly, my body twisted and broken like a crashed ship.

"Brother, why did you bring me up here?" I asked, timidly, looking deep into my brother's familiar face, his large black-blue eyes flecked with gold, just like mine, and his thick brown curls, just like mine. He was bigger than me though, and he made me feel safe, like hiding from a lion in the arms of a big oak tree.

"Little sister," My brothers voice was soft and comforting, "I brought you up here for one reason. I want you to remember something."


The ground grows ever closer, and people below me are scurrying out of my way, they don't want me to hit them.

"What is it, brother?" I ask, my eyes wide.

The ground is very close now, almost as if I reach out my fingers I can touch the painful hard death that awaits me, mere metres below. I can hear people yelling, either at me or someone else, or simply screaming indecipherable words. I will die, I decide, in only a few moments, when the ground is only a few centimetres away. There is no way I can survive this. At least it will be instant and therefore I won't feel any pain. There will be blood, yes, but I'll be long dead before that.

Far away, maybe I am imagining it, but I think I hear a sob. Maybe it is my brother's. Maybe it is just the tiny spring, in the centre of town whose paved stones claw ever closer. Maybe it's just my imagination. I hope I never understand the shouts below me. I hope my brother's words are the last words I ever hear.

"I love you," He said, an unknown sadness visible in his eyes, shinning with tears.

Blackness fills my vision.
Don't ask, I won't tell. I have a strong story behind this, but I'm going to leave it with what you thought of it while reading it. Thanks for that, by the way :happybounce:

Please PLEASE tell me what you thought of this and how I can improve it! Deep comments make me feel warm an fuzzy inside! :icondummywaveplz:

I need to work out how to put my tab on all of my work...
