SkyFall

One. Two. Three. Jump. The last words I remember before I take my plunge to the safety net near the ground. I have always enjoyed a life of living on the edge, so having the opportunity to attempt this daredevil experience was an opportunity I could not pass up. I was attending the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo when I suddenly heard a loud shriek from up above. I look up to behold a sky high crane with a bungee chord attached. My mouth opens and I immediately get in line to get more information. I discover that it costs $80, a little pricey, but I ultimately decide that this experience is totally worth it. As I wait in line to take my plunge to earth, I began to second guess my decision.

"Should I get a refund? What if the chord breaks and I break my neck? What I faint in mid-air?"

My hands begin to moisten the closer and closer I get to the front of the line. 

"You're next! Let's get you strapped in," said the bungee jump coordinator.

My hear began to beat fast. My anxiety levels were past extreme. I took a few steps forward and let him strap me in to the wires on top of wires of safety gear. 

I step into the elevator of doom that carries me and the bungee jump coordinator to the top of the crane. I see every become smaller and smaller as I go up. I don't hear anything but the wind hitting my face. The bungee jump coordinator says "One, two, three, jump!"

 I take the leap of face.

The next event I remember is looking up at the sky from the safety net.

I survived!
