Freefall

Every time I asked him a question, he took me to a cliff and pushed me over. Just as I would be about to hit the ground, he would leap down and hold me. It seemed to me that he thought of it as a game, but for me it was a complete mystery. Nevertheless, I am unsure why I always agreed to go with him.

This time he told me, 'Let’s go somewhere else'. For a few moments I was relieved, only to realize that we were heading for an even higher cliff. All I could see from the top was darkness. And then like always, he pushed me over. It was a few moments of agonizing freefall. But just as I was about to hit rock bottom, he came and liberated me.
