    “My foot slipped. A split second. And for that split second, I was falling.

    In that split second, I didn't panic.

    I thought, 'oh'.

    Then Rachel's hand wrapped around my arm and steadied me.

    'Thanks,' I stared at the edge . . .

    Two seconds ago all I could think was, 'oh, thank god, now it's over.”

    “You know the feeling when you're falling? When you take a step onto what used to be sold ground and suddenly it just falls out from under you? You start to spiral slowly, gathering speed until you know that you are within seconds from hitting the ground, and you're praying that you'll hit, that everything will just disappear, that everything you've been fighting to escape will just consume you and everything will be over. But then the ground doesn't come and you just keep falling and falling and falling, trapped in a nightmare that will never end.”
