What does it feel like?
To free fall
through the air.
To let yourself go
to the feeling.
To step back and fall.
Nothing but air
until you hit the water.
To believe in yourself.
To believe in the water
to cushion your fall.
Total freedom.
An escape from life.
An escape from reality.
What does it feel like?
I’ll let you know
after I hit the water.
Take a leap with me. A leap of faith into the unknown. Who can you trust? Is there anyone in your life that you can trust with yours? A hard question to ask. An even harder question to answer.
Let’s go for a swim.
Should we jump in with or without a life jacket?
Do we take the risk or play it safe?
That is the question we face
everyday of our lives.
Should we play it safe or not?
Sometimes we should take a leap of faith
and leap into the water without a life jacket.
After Linda and David were
gone, Todd quietly asked Sam, “Is everything under control? Can we keep
this contained, with everything else that has happened? People are
getting too suspicious. This last killing has raised questions about
vampires.”
“I’ll keep it contained…I have no other choice. Maybe someone
from our group has turned. This has to involve more than one person.
This time bite marks have been left behind on a body fully drained of
blood. The culprits are either getting more careless, or else they are
leaving behind clues because they want to be found out. It’s getting
harder and harder to cover up the bodies.”
“I’d like to find the
guilty party before Diane’s next meeting. We must deal with this
situation quickly and quietly,” said Todd.
He decided that this was a
good time to update Sam of recent events in town. He pulled Sam away
from the other police officers who were busy examining the crime scene.
He began, “I almost lost Linda this week!She was attacked
in the ocean. I wasn’t able to identify the swimmer, since he was
wearing a wet suit with a mask. He looked tall and muscular.
Unfortunately, this description fits most of the men from town, except
for Carl, who is much too skinny. In addition, her store had been almost
destroyed by an earthquake-like force, but there had been no earthquake
or tremor of any kind in town that day.”
Sam was shocked to hear of
these new developments. “This situation is growing worse by the day.
Shana also had a life-threatening incident. In the middle of the night I
found her balanced on the ledge of the church’s tower…looking like she
was about to jump off. Only after I shouted her name a few times did she
finally notice me and move away from the edge. Afterward, she claimed
that she’d been hypnotized. I don’t understand how she could’ve been
hypnotized if I’d been with her the whole evening…just outside her
bedroom door where she’d been sleeping….”
“I agree. It had to be
someone with great powers, who was able to hypnotize someone against
their will, and from a good distance. If he’s from the splinter group,
then this will continue to grow worse—unless we stop them for good.”
Todd continued, “Events in town have taken a shocking turn:
becoming more unexplainable and hinting more of the supernatural. David
and Mike complained about bat-like creatures attacking them on the
cliff below End House, and then at Wolf’s house, we were attacked by a
cave full of bats. Did you know that Wolf sits on the board of the
company that owns End House? Wolf is someone we should be investigating
further.”
“Oh great! This situation
keeps getting sicker and sicker. Do what you have to; but don’t get too
close to Linda—it could get too dangerous for her.”
“What about you and Shana? Practice what you preach.”
Shana tossed and turned most
of the night. She was caught in a nightmare where she was running through town in the
middle of the night, only wearing her nightgown. It felt so real. The night air
felt cold on her skin and the wind blew her nightgown against her legs. Her
feet hurt; they felt bruised by the sharp rocks on the ground. She looked down and
realized that she was barefoot.
She didn’t know why she
was running, or from whom. She knew only that she had to get somewhere before
it was too late. Then she noticed the church looming in front of her. Why
would she want to go into the church in the middle of the night? Why was she
running up the stairs to the tall bell tower? She was terrified of heights and
would never willingly climb up a tower. What was happening to her?
The next moment she was
gazing over the ledge—high up in the tower—looking down at the town below her.
Everything seemed small and insignificant. She felt small and unimportant. She
just wanted to fly away and be free.
She stood up on the narrow
ledge and spread her arms out wide; she wanted to know what it felt like to be
free from this town and all the fear that she’d felt trapped in since she moved
here. She would miss Linda, but knew that Linda would be much happier without
her and her paranoid fears.
In the distance she heard someone calling
her name. She tried to ignore it, but kept hearing her name being called over and
over again. She looked down and noticed Sam standing below her on the sidewalk,
yelling out her name and telling her how much he cared for her. She gazed into
his green eyes and realized that she didn’t want to leave him. And what was shedoing standing on a ledge in the middle of the night?
She felt like she’d just
been released from a trance.She called down to Sam, “I don’t know how I got up here, and I don’t
think that I can get down by myself.”
