one step

Soft rumblings of the highway, bright headlights burning through the night

two steps

Wind rushing over the building, sharp and cold this high up

three steps

Soft white hair, porcelain skin, ruby eyes with dark circles from lack of sleep, bloodshot and unfocused

four steps

Skin marred by lines, oozing blood

five steps

Toes curling over the edge of the building, hesitating for just a moment

A hand reaching out to grasp fabric, fearful violet eyes framed by golden hair meeting broken red ones

Arms encircling another, skin pressed together, warm drops soaking through a shirt

four steps

Fin.

Are you proud of me, people? A story that didn't end in complete angst!

reviews make me happy :)
