The loud blast startled us all. On its heels the plane nose-dived. "Jump out now!"
The squadron leader opened the hatch. It looked like a gaping gateway to hell. One by one the soldiers jumped into the dark abyss. I was the last to go.
"Lucky last," said the leader with a grin. "come."
He was happy. Of course he was happy. This was his last task before his one month holiday and I, useless as I was, completed his last task. Wonderful.
"What if I die? Commander, you know I'm not ready for this!"
"Nonsense! I saw your training, you're more than good enough to go!" With that, he shoved me down my inevitable death.
The air slammed into my face as I fall downwards. The harsh wind roared in my ears, yelling at me that I was going against gravity. It seemed the entire world was against me. I couldn't even open my eyes.
Ay, I couldn't. But my life still flashed before my closed eyelid. Was it signs that this was my end? That I had been sent to my dead bed? No, no, no, there got to be something in those memories. Something that helped. I did remember the leader said I was good enough. It seemed like a distant memory. Those jumbled images, which definately belonged to me, were flshing at the same speed I was falling that I questioned if it was hallucinating. I didn't recognize anything, let alone what I had learned. How did I even open this thing?
My hands fumbled desperately on the parachute. Was I really a trained soldier once? But I never volunteered to be in the air force squad! I was pulled over just because they needed a replacement, just a random pick! How would that leader even seen my training?
It was bad enough I was scared out of my life. It was unimaginable to think I would be push down, even less feasible that I literally would be. Oh for goddess sack, whoever was out there right now, save me, catch me, make me light, make a cushion popped out, oh just whatever that you were capable of. It's not yet time for me to die! I still had to find my soulmate!
To make things worse, a flock of birds saw a curious shape in the sky and decided to check me out. What happened? I became a tangle of birds and fabric. Incidentally, one of the bird peaks triggered the parachute and, lo and behold, the canopy spread and I was lifted up! Startled, the birds fly away.
And did you, for once, think I could go down in peace now? No! The wind decided to get strong and I was moved around in the air like a toy being pulled by a crazy child in random directions. And I was falling as a balloon sucked out of air.
I landed very ungracefully hooked among the tree bruches and I was left hanging struck between.
The soldiers who found me had a good laugh. They told me my flight was hilarious and looked adventurous. Adventure in the sky? More like an trial attempt to suicide. How was that even funny?
