Rocks
Part 2 of Falling
A drabble

Gravity is relentless. It grabs and pulls you earthwards.

There is no escape. Leaf or rock – it makes no difference.

He decided that he was more rock than leaf.

Heavy, solid.

Overcome by weight, he plummeted, his chute rustling in the silence.

The beauty of the moment was still there but he no longer saw it, caught up in the reality of the here and now. No escape, no way to change the inevitable.

A rock falling through the darkness towards an ending. To shatter on impact.

He had been told.

The fall doesn’t kill you but the landing might.
