The Fall

[Guest JohnV]

The Fall~

I shuffled my feet, hands in my pockets, just another identity among the millions present. My breath came in white puffs from the chill of the night. I turned my gaze towards the heavens desperately searching for stars, but San Francisco destroyed the view entirely, and instead of the glorious sounds of the elements I had to contend with car horns and police sirens. People hurried by me, crossing the infamous Golden Gate bridge, but my interest wasn’t crossing it, I was searching for a sickening guidance it what laid below.

The dark waters were possessed by an eerie calm. The wave’s gentle sway beckoned me from the heights of the noble crimson structure. I peered over the rail, starving for a closer view, I was mesmerized. Throughout my childhood a fear of heights had always been present, but now as I watched the ocean below I felt nothing…no mood could stir within me, even though I knew these were my last moments on Earth.

I dove off.

The wind howled, erasing the hideous sounds of the city, my body growing numb from the cold. The blackness was approaching, and I was silent as I plummeted downward. My decent was near its end. I drew my last breath with no regret, as I was finally consumed by the deepest oblivion.

A scene I vividly imagined during a dark moment in my life. I live no where near San Fransisco, but in the vision I saw the red arches of the unmistakable

bridge. So I wrote it, hoping that it would help erase the sadness within me.
