I stand by the edge of the cliff.
I breathe in.
I breathe out.
I don't regret my choice.
I fall forward.
I feel as if I'm gone.
But what sucks is that I'm not.
~Later~
"Zeno, never try that again!" Yona lectures, slapping her hand on her knee for emphasis.
"Alright, miss!" I reply. Curse this ability.
I try again.
I burn myself, the flames surrounding me.
Still doesn't work.
Shit.
This time Kija lectures me. He means well, but I don't hear.
I drown, the water filling my lungs.
Doesn't work.
Double shit.
"Give up on that," Jea-ha says to me. "You can't die."
He's right.
Painfully so.
