To any rational, logical, sane person, jumping off of a twenty story building would seem like a completely irrational, illogical, insane thing to do.
[Observation]
And all those rationally, logically, sane people had the same thing in common: they could feel. They could feel the fear of falling through the air at a hundred miles per hour; the anxiety of awaiting their death. We couldn't. Nobodies were incapable of feeling anything. Anger, sadness, fear- none of that meant anything to us. We were just empty, heartless shells with nothing to live for but wanting and wishing for a life we could never have back. So what did we have to lose?
[Definition]
Every risk we took was just one more desperate plea to be human. We could justify putting ourselves in dangerous situations by simply saying that we wanted to feel. All we had were memories of emotions and we relied on those memories for the sake of pretending that we were whole.
It was the twisted, absurd logic that we cherished and lived by. By eliminating the time to needlessly think, we could practically feel the terrifying rush and excitement of danger. It was as close to human as we were ever going to get. Deep down, we all knew that.
[Execution]
So as I stood atop the neon-lit building, I watched the rain pour down; heard it crash around me. It was the only sound in the empty city that we called home. Except we had no home.
Heartless. Emotionless. Reckless.
We were Nobodies- so what did we have to lose? Now wasn't the time to be rational, logical, or sane; it was the time to let go and fly.
So I closed my eyes.
Took a breath.
And jumped.
