The world had been wonderful, dazzling, soul-eclipsing, for some beatific seconds, moments rendered into nothing but pure bliss.
And then it had been tilted on its head, and the sensation of falling, falling, falling, a slow tumbling whirl of the land in glimpses of greenery, verdant life that would’ve been awe-inspiring if those instances hadn’t been terrifying.
She’d tried, she’d tried so hard to maneuver gracefully on her way down, down, down, hands shooting out in reaction, in instinct.
Didn’t matter though.
Maybe nothing did.
Not while she was on her back, staring at the canopy, the rain sputtering down, the growth, shuddering breaths racking through her chest. Someone calling brought her attention, but she couldn’t turn her head. She couldn’t move a muscle. “Please,” came out a trembling, desperate whisper, the uncertainty raging, panic in the eyes. "Please help me."
