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.

Write the story leading up to, or going forward from, here.

The End?

The wind whipped through my hair as we fell, and I could feel my sister's grip on my hand tighten. We were both silent, but I could feel the fear and excitement coursing through her veins.


As we got closer to the ground, I could see the waves crashing against the rocks below. I knew that if we didn't make it, we would be crushed. But I also knew that we couldn't go back. We had to do this.


At the last second, I spread my arms and we hit the water with a splash. The impact knocked the breath out of me, but I held on to my sister tightly. We sank beneath the waves, but I didn't panic. I knew that we would eventually resurface.


Sure enough, a few seconds later, we broke the surface of the water. I gasped for air and looked around. We were in a small cove, and the waves were crashing against the rocks all around us. But we were safe.


I turned to my sister and smiled. "We did it," I said.


She smiled back. "We sure did," she said.


We swam to shore and collapsed on the sand. We were exhausted, but we were also exhilarated. We had just jumped off a cliff, and we had survived.


We lay there for a few minutes, catching our breath. Then, we stood up and looked around. The sun was setting, and the sky was ablaze with color. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.


We turned to each other and hugged. We were both so happy to be alive.


We knew that we would never forget this day. We had faced our fears and we had overcome them. We were stronger now than we had ever been before.


And we knew that, together, we could do anything.
