A/N- My first FanFiction, so please review, let me know how I'm doing!
A Silver Smile
Prologue
I was gonna jump.
My life was a misery, and I didn't need it. All I had to do to end the stress was let go. My fingers chafed against the rough paint coating the cable, a reminder to my suicidal mind that death wasn't hard at all. All I had to do was unclench the rigid claws I had for hands.
So easy. So simple. Effortless, really.
So why couldn't I do it?
Through a veil of self-hating tears, I took one last look around, trying to memorize the beauty. I would NOT be afraid.
The bright lights of San Francisco shone like a beacon off to my side. Out on the sea, I saw the dark spot that was Alcatraz. The ocean was a constant roar, crashing against the bridge I clung to, crashing against the shore.
I let go, and fell from the bridge.
It only lasted four seconds, four seconds of terror, of exultant joy, of fierce triumph.
Then my feet hit the water at seventy-something miles per hour, the bones shattering as if I had hit cement.
And I passed out.
