For Trifextra:
At the window, not looking down, the boundless roar filled
my ears. Heat, like hands against my back, pushed me forward. I saw blue sky. She
squeezed my hand. We started to count.

Are they sky diving?
I have always wanted to sky dive. Well written.
Ooo I like the imagery.
Well written. Almost felt like I could hear the roar of the plane. Nicely done.
You've got some great descriptions - I especially like the heat like hands on his back.
I could really picture this. Thought it was great.
Well done, but it sounds like 9/11 in the towers to me.
I was going for "leaping from a burning building," but I guess I didn't quite pull it off with just 33 words. But the story is as much in the reader as in the writer. Thanks, y'all.
I was hoping against hope they somehow had bungee cords attached but I suppose not. Quite vivid.
