I grab my sister’s hand and pull her towards the cliff edge with me. She nods slowly in my direction. Then we jump. We fall.

Down. Down. Down. And down.

The whole world rushes past us in a vacuum.

Then vroom! I awake with a startled jolt in my bed, sitting up fast gasping for air. I can hear my sister snoring perfectly above me in her bunk bed.

I take deep breath and already feel my heart starting to slow with relief.

Then I hear a loud burst. I go to the window and look outside to see fireworks going off.

Oh right! I think face palming myself.

Happy New Year.
