Parachute

Behind her the noise escalated. The two friends she was with were cheering louder and louder. She was about to jump off the small plane and into the open sky. She had always toyed with the idea of going skydiving, but would never have guessed that her friends were forcing her to go on her birthday. She took the dive off the plane, finally. She had never felt so free. The world opened up around her. Cities and lakes gradually got bigger and bigger as gravity pulled her in. Finally, the man helping her pulled the chute and they floated slowly back down to earth.
