The Adventure

Picture yourself standing ontop of a cliff. Looking down below you, waves from the ocean are crashing... Clouds have rolled in and covered the sky. You can't tell where the ocean ends. The sun is trying it's hardest to warm the skin on your face as it slowly begins to set. To your left, you see a flag pole with a torn flag gently blowing in the wind. To your right, there's an empty cabin, looking at the sun set with you. You turn around and see a forest. The sky behind you is dark, and the stars are one by one, begining to shine. You look back at the ocean. The sky is still lit up, but the sun is gone.

Rain slowly begins to fall down. You close your eyes, and tilt your head up to the sky. The cold rain drops on your face and you exhale the cool smell of rain into your lungs. You get chills and a cool breeze gently pushes you towards to edge of the cliff. You extend your arms out from your sides, as if your were trying to reach the flag pole to your left and the cabin to your right. One more deep breath inside and you take one step closer to the edge. The wind picks up, you get more chills. You open your eyes and look back out into the ocean. The sky is now dark. the sun has disppeared and you see lights out in the distant from ships.

You take another step closer to the edge, the clouds begin to clear more and more. The stars are starting to show, and look down on you. You take another step forward. You're so close to the edge, your toes are hanging off the ledge. You can feel tiny rocks slide out from under your feet. You take one last breath in. You hold it for a moment. A gust of wind pushes you and you are now falling. The ocean gets closer and closer with every second. You close your eyes.

You fill the wind pick up, faster and faster. You can hear nothing at this point, except the wind flying past you. Your eyes are closed as tight as they can be. You're breathing heavy. You realize you've been falling for far too long. Open your eyes and realize you are not falling. You are flying. You suddenly feel very warm, and let out a giant smile. You can't help but to start laughing. You laugh harder and harder and louder and louder. You begin to dance and you quickly fly over the ocean. Dipping your fingers into the sea and the creatures under water watching zip past them with lightning like speeds.

A light in the distance catches your eye. You focus on the light, and with all your might, bring your self into it's direction. You continue to dance over the ocean as the light gets brighter and brighter. You now realize this one light has broken into many smaller lights.
