Jump Out Now!!
#WritcoStoryPrompt31
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...
And as it's extension and profundity as immense as the ocean opened before me, my heart broke loose on the wind.
And I trembled with awe at the sights so deep and mysterious.
I felt like an angel looking down at the world and everyone around. They seemed to be staring into the dark waiting for God to take them swiftly by the hand.
And I was laughing with delight because I had earned my wings to fly. Yet crying out loud from fear and the loneliness inside.
It felt as though I had entered into this darkness where since I had plunged I was falling deeper every hour and losing myself a little more.
As the abyss widens, though, I began to fear that coming back to the surface may somehow not be under my control.
Because I felt without doubt, in the gloom some mighty angel was standing, with outstretched wings, awaiting our souls.
I was now walking to the brink, abandoning all belief, and just before the bitter end, I was pulled from the abyss by faith into the horizon.
It was like being caught in a great fishnet, and so I grabbed hold of the strong rope and slowly lifted myself out of the hopelessness.
This pulled emotions from me I didn’t think I could feel.
I had a deep sense of feeling, like space and heaven were looking at me with billions of eyes just waiting for me to appreciate the beauty of life.
But I also realised that by plunging into the dark abyss. I had to faced my grief, my fears, my sadness, my loneliness, my anguish and myself.
And when I finally stepped out of that dark hole, I craved for more.
