It was a long way away, the ground; a good couple of
minutes. And hard too: there would be a definite splat. Shrapnel would fly
everywhere. But the usually crowded street was deserted. Funny that luck would
start to favor her only at this moment in her life.
She felt liberated. The strong wind blew through her hair.
Things could not have been more perfect, really.
She thought of her happy place. The tall grass, sun, breeze.
Him. Them. All the people she loved. And she loved them most in this very
moment.
Joy and love seemed almost to swallow her. She could not
keep a smile from her face.
And she was hopeful. Hopeful of a better world without
herself there.
She closed her eyes, spread out her arms. The smile on her
face widened. And then she jumped.
