STORY STARTER

You are on date, and your date has arranged to abseil down a building. You have a huge fear of heights, yet want to impress them.

Focus on your character's emotion and what completing the task could mean for them.

The Plunge

I stare down the ledge of the cliff i now find myself on top of. Of course the one attractive man that matched with me turns out to be an adrenaline junkie.I’m super interested in L not so interested in finding out it the cord decides this is the jump it wants to retire on. But I'm going to put on a brave face and pretend I didn't just envision my own closed casket funeral. "You've done this before right?" i chance a glance at Colton. “uh not really but I've seen tons of videos and it seems amazing” not really? i swore he told me he does this all the time and that it's perfectly safe. "How comforting" I mumble under my breath as i silently count how many couples are ahead of us. 2 more couples and then were up. Is now the time I tell him about my insane fear of heights? Nope that was definitely 30 minutes ago when he picked me up at my apartment. Maybe i can make enough small talk that i get completely distracted and forget about my fear yep sounds like the best plan I got. "So what's your deepest fear?" I blurt out. L bursts out laughing "kind of personal for a first date don't you think?" "yeah, yeah you're probably right, but mine is heights" he starts laughing again but once i don't chime in he asks "wait you're kidding right?" i swallow the lump in my throat and prepare to tell this man who just spent $70 on each of us that I am indeed scared of heights “god no i was just kidding wouldn't that be crazy?” 1 Iadd in a laugh to make it believable. He buys it and begins laughing again. “oh, loooks like we're next"
