Nano 23 – Risk

There’s always a danger that the rope will break. It’s not likely, but it’s also not likely for your plane to crash or to get one of those rare cancers. But you never know if you’ll be the one. It’s a calculated risk, and so far you’ve been very good at math. You’ve gotten this far, after all.

It doesn’t stop the flutter of panicked butterflies in your stomach or the need to double-check the harness and the rope. All secure. And so you jump. The wind flies by and your heart pounds and…you bounce. Still good at math.
