Zero (4 page)

The wind, maybe fate, had made the
final decision for him to jump, pushing him over the edge. But now moments from
hitting the cement walkway Alan knew he wanted to live, if for nothing else then
to prove all of those faces of pity wrong. Anger, desire, the will to live
awoke inside Alan as the ground rushed to meet him.

Gritting his teeth Alan yelled at the
ground, now only a few feet away. Then his downward momentum slowed. It felt
like someone was lifting him, carrying him up. His forward momentum slowed
until it stopped completely. Alan had never used a parachute but he imagined the
feeling would be similar.

It happened so fast Alan wasn’t sure
what to think. Fear, confusion, a hundred feelings hit him at once. Alan
hovered above the ground for a spilt second, then dropped the last remaining
feet to safety.
