AN: Just some drabble as I get back into writing again. Not technically drabble, but it's close enough.
I will not fall, I will not fall.
She chanted the words over and over in her head.
I will not fall, I will not fall.
She climbed. Higher. Higher.
I will not fall, I will not fall.
She looked up at the monstrous mountain.
I will not fall, I will not fall.
It was cold, her hands were numb.
I will not fall, I will not fall.
She was afraid to look down
I will not fall, I will not fall.
So far down, such a long way,
I will not fall, I will not fall.
Such a long way to tumble.
I will not fall, I will not fall.
Too scared to lose control.
I will not fall, I will not fall.
But she looked anyway.
I will not fall, I will not fall.
Below her she could see a mystery.
I will not fall, I will not fall.
That mystery was a boy.
I will not fall, I will not fall.
That boy was a welcome distraction.
I will not fall, I will not fall.
That boy made her smile.
I will not fall, I will not fall.
And though the wind was icebound, that boy made her feel warm.
I will
not fall, I will not fall.
I will
not fall in love.
She did not fall down. But she fell.
