I balance myself out between the two rings, the sweat dripping down my face. I can hear the loud thunder and rain hitting the large mansion. So many people still outside, facing the cold liquid hitting them.
Taking a deep breath, I clear my mind and keep one thought in my mind: If I can make this move work, if they didn't fall because of the messed up wires, because of him, Mom and Dad wouldn't have died. It won't be my fault anymore. Exhaling, I turn my boddy upward and start to flip again.
Come on Dick. For once you will get this right. The weight will be lifted from your shoulders.
The sound of their breaking bones will no long haunt me in the dead of the night, invading my sleep.
Leaping off the rings, I shut my eyes for a moment, knowing where the black stand was. Everything is going in slow motion, but in my mind it's a fast highway.
In the blackness of my mind, an outstretched arm with no body appears, and there was the voice again.
"Dick!
Slowly the arm inches away into the dark mind and my feet hit the stand. Without being able to catch myself, I tumble off. Once my back feels the impact of the floor, the breaking bones are back, echoing through the silence.
