The wind sings past my ears in a shrill pitch that assaults my senses. My body is weightless against the wind. I let my body go limp and then move again; the blood in my veins feels like wire hangers, against the force of gravity. My motions are muted. Relaxing and contracting my muscles is a struggle against the fall. The building flies beside me. Window after window gives a zoomy wave good-bye. I close my eyes knowing the time will soon come. I've found my zephyr. The weather is perfect. And in the last living moment before the sidewalk closes in I wonder, "Is this a mistake?"

"...let body got limp."
"go" "...let body go limp and them move again." Nice sentence, but a little confusing. It needs more. I know what you're trying to go for, but yeah. Capitalize the "t" in "the" before "weather". Other than that, awesome short story. Reminds me a lot of my "Car Wash" story. And, by formally requesting that I read one of your stories, you've won my random reading and commenting because I want to...er...thing. |

I think that you should take out the period separating the last sentence from the one before it, otherwise it's fragmented and looks weird. Other than that, nice job... I assume just a little thing you whipped up? | |||

Yeah, I'll go ditto with the fragmentation. I chose to ignore it to allow you literary creativity...if and only if this was meant as poetic prose rather than literary prose. | |||

Er..uh yeah I did that on purpose.
It is a fragment. Fixed now though. And yes, this was just something that popped into my brain. One of those twenty minute jobs. |

I like. Interesting thought though. I wrote a story rather similar to this one back in
my senior year in highschool I titled, "Freefall." Great minds think alike I guess. |
