The Wright Brothers

The acrobat balanced delicately on what seemed to be the razor thin edge of the structure above. She had been through many acrobatic situations before, but this was by far the most dangerous. As she dangled from the edge of the cliff-like formation she wondered, “Why am I here? Will this be my end? Will I unwillingly fall from this enormous height to my final fate? For if it was my doing that placed me here, then fine.” She took one more glance toward the Earth below her and breathed in deeply. Sanctified, she tried to close her eyes and concentrate. For only through her own mind control could she attempt to take charge of the unstable physical situation and control her equilibrium. One wrong move would have made her kaleidoscope toward the Earth. One incorrect word or even the slightest sound might have made her life end there. As she tried to focus her mind, she momentarily lost concentration and fell as if pushed to the Earth. The fall was eternal but had a momentary briefness. As she was falling, someone from the crowd yelled, “Hit her!” Then all went dark and that was the last memory that she had.
