“What are you doing?” Billy asked me as I balanced myself on the edge of a curb outside the school.
I told him that I didn’t want to fall, that the street itself was a limitless pit, that I had to do whatever it took to not lose balance. I extended out my arms in effort to center myself as I stepped forward with as much grace as possible. I could hear Billy laughing and even throwing small rocks at me as he stepped on to the curb in attempts to push me off.
“Don’t fall Billy” I shouted out to him but it was too late.
He lost his balance and fell right through the street into the empty void of desolation as he screamed out in absolute terror.
Happy Halloween! Thanks for reading :)
