STORY STARTER

Submitted by Orelli

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

Write the story leading up to, or going forward from, here.

Floating…or Not? No, We Are.

I grabbed my sister’s hand, pulling her toward the edge of the cliff. She nods slowly then, we take a leap of faith into the darkness. She gives me the look of, “what the hell did we just do?” As if I read her mind, I shrugged. She groaned and we suddenly stop falling. “What the frickidy frack!?” I yell. We were floating. Mid air. I look at her, extremely scared. “Shh! I’m trying to figure out if I’m alive right now.” “No girl, you’re dreaming!” “Am I?” She pinches herself. “Okay, I don’t think I am.” She thinks for a moment. “Then are we dead?” “Are we!?” “I dunno, are we?” She asks. “Are we…?” I ask back. “Anyway, why are floating anyway? Didn’t we jump off a cliff?” I nodded. “It was a retorical question,” she says, slightly annoyed. “Wait but-“ “Hush child,” she interrupts. “I’m 17-!” “Still younger than me. Oh, and technically still a legal child.” “Ugh! You’re so annoying!” “Says you.” “Mhm, says me,” I snap. I felt around the air. My finger got caught in something. I looked down to see a…a fishing net…. What the? I looked at where my sister was. It wasn’t there for her, only for me. “Uhm…hey you know…” “Nahhhhh really!? I already know dude, that’s why I’m teying to figure out if I’m dreaming!” She’s too observant for her own good…. I blinked and found myself in my bedroom. I went to knock on my sister’s door. She opened and asked me if I had the same “dream” as her. I nodded and we both fell silent. Absolutely silent. Well for now, this mystery will go unsolved.
