The Last Jump.

I had always wondered what it takes to stand at the edge, the very edge, you know, of a cliff, a bridge and the like.

Today I know it. Absolute courage or absolutely nothing. 

I take a look at the abyss and try to remember my God. Only, I do not have one. It is as if the God mocks me! I try to remember the reasons why I am standing here today.
Friends theme song comes to my mind - "Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A".
Yeah right, heartbreaks! Loads of them! By the way, never fall for lawyers, they give you the worst kind of heartaches! It's funny, me giving advice!

Where was I? Yeah, why am I here.
Am I feeling suicidal? Somewhat, no more than usual.
Do I need to prove anything? By jumping? I don't know! Who cares!
Does my family know? Naah, lets spare them the agony.

Doing this is lunacy, I know.

A cool breeze blows through my hair. I take a deep breath, as if it is my last one. 
I will not close my eyes, I want to see the ground rushing towards me.

I jump, eyes wide open.
For few seconds it seems my heart is in my mouth. 
Then, almost suddenly, I feel the tug of the band! Man! Bungee jumping sucks!
