My legs didn’t shake as I adjusted my stance on the rocks. I extended my reach and air rushed around my steady ankles. It was weird, but my pulse was as regular as the beat of a clock.
I wasn’t sure of what to do next. Should I climb back down, going the way I came or should I take a chance of sailing down. Jump off the edge and let my parachute take me all the way down.
Amazing, the view, and the sense of freedom I felt standing there. Nobody, or nothing could hurt me. I was safer here, than on solid ground. A hawk screeched past me, and I could almost touch its supple feathers.
I almost didn’t hear my companion, but a touch on the shoulder brought me back to the room. I lifted my virtual headset off, and adjusted my vision to the room. Only moments before it seemed so real.
‘Do you think you will be able to do the virtual parachute jump?’ My trainer asked.
‘I can’t wait,’ I said.
Love the twist at the end. You’ve brought reality to the feelings of standing in the top of the mountain! Thanks for joining in Diana
