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.

The Jump
Then we jump. When we say the cliff it looked like a long fall, but really it’s so short. As I was falling my life flashed before my eyes. I saw my mom, a single parent who tries their hardest to stay happy for her kids. Next, I saw my father, who passed away. I immediately started crying, my tears flew up above me. I looked over at my sister, I could see her tears flying up above her too, she must’ve seen the same thing I had.
We hit the water hard with a big splash. When I came up to the surface her hand wasn’t in mine. I went back under and saw her falling slowly, I swam down, grabbed her and pulled her towards the surface. I dragged her to the side of the lake and cradled her in my lap.
