Glass Bridge
Focus now.
The glass is gleaming below me, I can tell the glass is thin and cracking; the small cracks can be heard with every step I take, and every snap threatens to cause this gleaming bridge to shatter.
The void beneath is seemingly bottomless and dark. Light dots the darkness.
I can't tell where they are coming from.
crack
crack
crack
Each crack makes my heart race. Each crack makes my stomach lurch and makes it even harder to focus on now. My focus is below in the bottomless, unpredictable depths.
My thoughts and my existence are chained to the worry of what is beneath me, to the threat of breaking glass.
