Okay.. Hello all ^^ This is my first Gorillaz-fanfic.. It's called Pieces, and I want to explain that a bit. So my idea -in all of it's simplicity- with this story is that like the name says, the story is formed of these chapters, -pieces, if you will ;) - that can be view&read seperately, but when put together the form a 'complete' story.. We'll see how it works ;) I don't know where the idea came from, but I hope it will go somewhere good :P

So, enjoy! and any kind of feedback is welcomed :) (and sorry if my English is lacking.. I'm working on it :) )

Jump

She sat on the roof and gazed at the sunset. The sky was coloured with the most beautiful shade of red, and the light breeze made the blades of the windmill slowly spin around. The evening was still warm, though the summer had already gone by and the autumn was sneaking closer and closer. The leaves on the trees were changing their colours to every shade of yellow, orange, red and brown. But some hanged on to their green, hopelessly fighting against the changing season. She closed her eyes for a while and let the last of the setting sun's warmth gently stroke her cheeks. She listened as the wind joyfully played amongst the leaves and the soft grass. She felt like one with the nature around her as the windmill's blades softly spun around.

Jump.

She quickly opened her eyes and straightened her back.

Jump.

It couldn't be just her imagination, could it? She could hear that word so clearly.

Jump.

Now she stood up and tried to really listen. Where was that sound coming from? The wind was rising a bit, making her whole body sway a little while playing with her skirt. She raised her hand above her eyes to cover them from the sun. And she took a step towards the edge of the roof.

Jump.

The whole scene, which was now laid in front of her eyes, looked much more beautiful than it had been when she'd been sitting down. The sun was getting ready to hide behind the fluffy white clouds, and coloured the sky purple with its last light. Like saying a small goodbye. And tomorrow morning it would rise again to the sky, bringing light and warmth to give life.

Jump.

She was now standing at the very edge of the roof, her bare toes already hanging in the air. The clouds looked like a perfect, white and soft ocean with bright golden edges. It was all so beautiful. She wished she could touch the sun, grab it in her palm and study its mesmerising glow at close. If just she could reach it. She raised her other hand towards the sun, though she knew it was too far away. If only she could take a step closer…

Jump.

Should she? That whisper, that plea, it sounded so tempting. "Jump…" Maybe then she could reach the beautiful sun, maybe then she could fall on the fluffy, soft clouds, maybe then she could fly…

Jump, foolish child. Jump.

She closed her eyes and spread out her arms to her sides. One deep breath of the fresh air, and another. Then she took a step forward. She tried to reach the sun again, maybe now... But no, it was still too far away. Would the clouds be there to catch her fall?

She fell through the clouds. The dreamy look from her eyes was drawn away like the sun from her reach, getting hidden behind the clouds. Reality hit her hard as she saw how the clouds weren't a soft ocean underneath her anymore, but the block between her and her dream. As the ground began to be closer and closer, some unexplained peace filled her like flood, from the tip of her toes to the top of her head, raising a small, twisted smile to her face.

At least now, she could fly.
