The Fall

“You fly when you fall,
You die when you hit,
So is love”

“Last thing I remember was running, and I was still running. I could feel the wind rushing, the trembling in my hands, thighs, cheek bones, heart through the core of my spine.”

“Something was chasing me, that’s for sure. I had seen that place somewhere but I couldn’t quite recall where I was exactly. I wasn’t tired either, gravity seemed to be not at all bothered by my presence. I could hear growling, numbing noises from behind, a creature of some sort, it must be.”

“Although I was not at all sure what on earth was going on, something was familiar about that place, the feeling, the experience. Felt like I had experienced the same, over a thousand times. It wasn’t a hallucination, a dream or one of my fantasy lands. It was real.”

“I actually felt pain hitting some branches, stepping on sharp rocks and what not, along the way. Speaking of stepping on sharp rocks, I noticed my feet, exposed.”

“If it was just part of my programming or did I hear a voice, I still can’t tell, but I stopped. Not so far away, I could see a rusty cage. It was getting foggier every moment. As I reached closer and closer to the cage, a familiar face emerged through the fog, my mother.”

“I was awestruck, so was she.”

“She was muttering something, and for some reason, I couldn’t even understand what language it was. She was holding my sister, or so I thought then. I could read from the gestures, my mother, she was telling something along the lines saving my sister and escaping from that place. That’s my little sister I saw right there, so sure I was. But so was I sure about the fact that I never had a sister.”

“All of a sudden the growling noises I heard while back, back at it once again, this time moving closer and closer to me. And the fog started to clear up too as the sound grew closer and louder. I soon realised that I am standing on top of a cliff, the end of line. As soon as I caught that red-giant like glare jumping on to me, with a scowling noise, and no second thoughts, I jumped.”

“I jumped off the cliff. Before I could do anything I was falling”, He said.
