”Teddy!” A muffled sound tugged for his attention. After the fist pumps and handclaps, they had quickly drifted apart.

”Teddy!!”

The cold wind strengthened each millisecond while it lashed his face, screaming in his ears — an eternity.

”Teddy!!!”

Panic. Heart pounding hard in his chest.

”Am I breathing?” he thought as the outlines of earth raced towards him.

”Teddy!!!”.

He came back.

“One more time then”, as he fumbled towards the end.

A scream and howls as he yanked the chord. It almost snapped.

The deafening silence and stunning beauty crushed his senses.

The parachute had opened.
