Discoveries

For some, there comes a moment where one suddenly finds himself perched upon a rock face overlooking jagged rocks and a crashing sea that swirls violently at the foot of the cliff.

Standing high on the ledge, emotions run high; the adrenaline rushing through veins like fire to a trail of oil.

The wishing thought of darkness, the touch of a shadow as thoughts turn to the plummet down of the abyss below.

That barrier of fear, the one that prevents any act that dares to challenge the balance between living and death itself – halting suicide, a struggle for life…

Death could wait another day, thought the boy, turning away from the foreboding edge. A whisper of a shadow caught his attention, but only for a moment as it suddenly vanished from sight. Perturbed, but deciding to think no more of it, he trudged towards his car. A mild thought struck him, he hoped he'd locked said car before his sudden delusional despair had taken him earlier.

"Ah, still here," he murmured, running a hand through his hair, revealing eyes the color of emerald.

As he withdrew a small key out of his pocket the shadow suddenly appeared again. It was lurking at the corner of his vision, barely able to be seen.

He called out, hoping to bring it out of hiding.

His only answer was the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks off the edge of the cliff and the whisper of the breeze as it flowed through the trees.

Pausing only for a moment, the raven haired man started towards where he could still see the shadow. As he edged closer to the oddly distorted image, he distinctly heard moaning and gasps of pain. Quickening his pace, the boy rounded the bush the shadow seemed to have hidden behind. Glancing down, he saw someone he had expected to never see again.
