Xavier vanScalak stood at the edge of the balcony overlooking his cliff, wondering about the meaning of life.

A man and a woman came into view, waving their arms angrily as they approached the edge. Xavier knew they must be arguing, but the sound was lost to the seagulls above, swept away by the wind. The woman's blond curls bounced with fury, and the man's pacing would soon wear a path in the ground.

A shot sounded overhead. The woman gasped, her back to the edge, and looked down at the blooming red flower on her white fur coat. She reached desperately for the man, pulling him close before she lost her balance.

They were too close to the edge.

They tumbled over together, each clutching the other close. The sound of their bodies hitting the ocean below was swallowed with their screams.

Told you. Review and I save them.
