Chapter 1: Heights

The wind howled against the ears of passers-by, their coats flapping behind them, their hats and umbrellas trying to run away with each other. The bridge was packed with cars and people trying to get out of the elements. In fact, they were engrossed in their own selfish need for warmth that they didn't hear a child's pleads or pay attention to the cackling bunch of kids standing at the edge.

If they would have, maybe someone could have stopped it …

"Please! Help me! ..." a child we know as Apollo Justice cried, pleaded, as he struggled to hang on.

All the kids did was laugh, watching him like he was part of some freaky, sick circus act.

Apollo Justice, orphan, age 6, parents unknown. There, over the side of the bridge, Justice was gripping the side of the railings. The wind blowing caused his body to hit the stone of the bridge as he swung, his hands were slipping, but he kept hanging on, the only thought on his mind was the fact that if he lost hold, he would fall 8 feet into the violent, crashing waves below.

But he couldn't.

The railings disappeared from his hand and Apollo felt his body drop, like a heavy stone. He tried to scream but couldn't as it lodged in his throat.

He continued to fall.
