Author's Notes: I realize I have other stories to finish, but this one...I've been wanting to do this for a LONG time.

The floorboards of the ancient bridge creaked as Alfred tread upon them, confidently marching across without a second glance.

His brother, on the other hand, examined the worn ropes and timber warily, lightly testing their strength before proceeding forward.

"C'mon Mattie, you're taking forever!" The American whined, idly rocking on his heels.

The other man sighed, rolling his eyes. It was truly hard to believe that his twin was the older one, even if only by a few minutes.

"Well unlike some people," Matthew threw a pointed stare at Alfred, "I don't want to fall to my death. This bridge has to be at least a century old."

"Pff, don't be a total idiot dude. This thing's lasted so far!" As if to prove his point, he swung his weight to the side, eliciting a loud groan from the bridge. The Canadian let out a high pitched squeak as he clutched the ropes in terror.

He took a second to compose himself before turning red in indignation.

"What the hell Alfred!"

In response, the American smirked and jumped to the edge again, swinging the aged bridge back and forth. Matthew screamed again, desperately trying to keep his bearings as the ropes twisted and the boards creaked dangerously.

"A-alfred!" Oh God oh God oh God "S-stop it! I-"

The bridge swung again, and this time Matthew lost his balance and fell backwards, hitting the ropes and slipping beneath them. His stomach dropped when he felt nothing but wind against his back.

With a loud crack, his ankle caught between the floorboards, twisting painfully. Matthew screamed in pain, both thankful and terrified that he was alive, dangling by his trapped foot fifty feet above the surging river.

"ALFRED!" He shrieked as he desperately tried to pull himself up, only succeeding in cracking the boards further.

"Oh shit Mattie! Fuck fuck FUCK! I'm so sorry bro I-I was just kidding-!" Alfred ran to his fallen brother and grabbed his leg in an attempt to pull him back to safety.

"A-ah! Stop-!" The Canadian froze as a loud groan broke through their panicked shouting. The brothers' eyes locked for a moment before the bridge gave a final, sickening crack and splintered to pieces, sending them tumbling into the rapids below.

So this story will be filled with lots of gut wrenching bits, so if you're of the faint of heart, I apologize. :)
