Stumbling
Tumbling
Blackness surrounds you

Pivoting
Down
Cool air rushing past you

Nipping
Stinging
Your face

Stomach
Lurching
Turning too quickly

Heart
Racing
Attempting to escape your chest

Grasping
Clinging
To nothing but the black void

Gasping
Heaving
Lungs shivering, crying

Breath
Stolen
Feeling you mercilessly

Screaming
Silence
Shrieking quiet overwhelms you

But



No one








Hears you














Falling
