The Plummet

Hoisted what seemed like thousands of feet in the air, we dangled; me and my two lady friends, one on each side.

I had no control over what was to happen next, it was up to one of them. They had the power to release us… to free us… to make us drop.

I just waited.

And waited.

And WAITED.

And then screamed as the key was removed.

Wind howled around my ears as we plummeted; wind that, unfortunately, wasn’t drowned out by my screams. All our screams, in fact.

We were all relieved when the rope caught.

…Me especially…

  All will be revealed in my next post, VK. .. and then, I’ll be going back to the lab! Sorry to keep you (and everyone, actually) dangling… I went with option A rather than option B, but I may revisit option B in the near future!
  Only a few more hours to go… and then… then… It’s just an idea I had… 😉

Took the words right out of my mouth.
Anyway, I see it’s every man for himself (ladies? What ladies?)

  I’ll bear that in mind, Prenin… but you never know… you may find yourself being roped in to do a bungee jump or something one day. Groan, I know… sorry!

I vote no/4…. I have many such thoughts, Sir A, but it’s usually of me stringing someone else up… (mayhap I’m a sociopath in disguise… (whatdoyamean t’disguise isn’t working? 🙂 ) )… xx
and that concludes the vote from me here at Pen Towers,p*ss*d off , n’ cold int’ blizzard, reporting for Sir Aquatom…

      I don’t remember that one, Pen, in my mind anyway. Maybe if I saw it I probably would…
