Occasionally my heart beats faster than normal…the doctors said it was a mere condition…not to worry.

I’m worrying now.

I can smell it, scalding my chest, burning my veins, lighting my heart on fire. The wind feels good from up here. such a high deserves a magnificent crash. my foot steps off of concrete, onto the heavens. They cannot carry my sins. windows run by me in such a blur as I anticipate the ground. My lids shut…rebound and I see rubble around me in a great full dance. The kind only the gods have seen.

“You shouldn’t be here.” growls a man in a dark mechanical sort of suit. It had wires and panels all over that gave him an inhuman stature. This man raised a sort of gun that shot a sort of bullet.

It was grand in shape and speed, that bullet. Air rippled like water around its surface. It defied sound and almost light with its speed. I grinned at its defiance and caught it with my hand.
