The rocky walls on three sides and the opening that gave way to the waterfall further down, now all seemed so far away. But by no means were they less formidable.
She knew it was a long way down.
Fear gripped her body, her feet felt numb as she stood there. She knew at any moment if the wind grew strong she could just fall for she seemed to have lost control of her body.
Drops of sweat accumulated on her forehead as she closed her eyes and thought about her husband and her son.
Saying her prayers, she took one last look at the extent of the fall. And then taking a deep breath, she spread her hands wide and took the leap.
With her heart in her mouth, she fell towards the same water body which seemed so far away a moment ago.
The moment was here and in a few seconds it was over too.
With that Alice finally ticked bunjee jumping off her life’s to-do list!

That was an unexpected but fun ending. Bungee jumping however is not for me – not in this life anyway. Nice one Naba.
Good one Naba *wiping sweaty palms*. Awesome ending 🙂
Ha ha ha – I love your little twists in the end … Sitting with this sad feeling – and then-. Bow Bungee jumping:-)
I want to so do this.
Oh man !
Thanks for the bun jee jump twist – really . was not ready to read a suicide post today 🙂
and u know what I can never ever do bunjee jumping 🙁
I'm afraid of Bunjee jumping 😀 But your post made me think of the philosophical side to it. May be I would do it when I'm ready !!
Funtastic !
It was a great read with twists of thoughts in the middle :-)…
YOU are becoming the master of Twists girl:) My mouth formed an O as I read the lines where she jumped from the edge and then I smiled at the bungee-jumping part 🙂

Hahaha! You had me fooled right until the end. Glad it turned out well. ☺
Ooo…you got me at the start! Great story! I really want to do Bunjee jumping once…
Somehow I figured this one out, maybe because by now I have read enough of your twists in the tale stories! But quite a nice one this was! Very well done.
