Some years after movie
Falling
Jack knew that this could be the end. He held his breath, waited. He could feel it, the sky above and the earth far under, moving around him.
I would miss this.
He remembered that moment so brightly that it hurt. How many centuries ago, he had drowned.
Then he had died.
Now he was going to fall again, not through the ice but through the clouds.
And die.
Face it.
He opened his eyes and saw them coming.
Face it all.
The sky and the earth were crumbling.
Hear them, hear them all.
He hated it. Those screams; all because of him.
My fault.
I can die for them all.
But you never get my heart and my soul.
You can never go there where I go now.
You can't follow me there.
And you lose.
He raised his face, watched the moon.
I'm sorry.
Oh, how I could be so wrong?
I made a mistake.
And now I'm going to fall hard.
It's all so clear now.
I'm sorry.
Take care of them.
I'm sorry.
"Wind, let me fall."
He closed his eyes.
He let go of his stuff.
Goodbye.
And he fell.
