She stood on the edge, looking out at the expanse. Her eyes
were locked on the depths, even as her ears filled with the shouts.
She tried to shut them out, tried to ignore the voices
calling for her to step back, to not do it, to not jump off. But every time she
heard another voice telling her to be sensible, to not be stupid, they began to
work, began to make her second guess herself.
And sure enough, after a few more breaths, she stepped back
from the edge of glory, and never dared try for it again.
