Chatper 6 - AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! : A Reckless Disregard for Gravity
Your jumps are not about Art
They are about a reckless disregard for Safety
Your jumps are not about Culture
They are about a reckless disregard for Regulation
Your jumps are not about Science
They are about a reckless disregard for Gravity
Jumping from a building literally floating in mid air, hundreds if not thousands of mile above... emptiness is a weird idea of fun, but I'm glad I agreed to try it. As I look down I feel a rush building up in my head and I only want to jump. Once in the air, floating and feeling the wind whip my face as my speed increases only cuts it for a few seconds and I try to get closer and closer to the structures around me. Why those concrete shapes are floating here I have no Idea, and could not care less frankly.
The architect of such madness was certainly prescribed medicines that I would like to try myself. In the meantime the sound of music mixes in my head with the scream of protesters and supporters in a glorious mess. I never want to stop the dive. The floor is far away but every instant brings me closer to the end of the jump, or certain death if I am not careful enough in my ecstasy. It's not like I am jumping in a vacuum, and am I grateful for that! Navigating an environment where the control one has on his own trajectory is almost inexistent is something everyone should try, and survive hopefully.
I am sorry Miss; did I offend you by mooning you while you were watching me plummet to almost certain death in your little apartment? Well, it certainly was my intention. I guess it's a bit childish then, jumping from a very high point without trying to make one at all. But sometimes, what you really want to do is something that has no other meaning than to be a ton of fun. If only I could ever do that outside of this world and into mine, I guess I would be able to feel as mental as I'd think I am.
Well, while I am waiting for the next jump, I'll enjoy a little meditation, or grandma' could teach me her secret recipe, or Nevin could give me the latest weather update in that "thrillingly engaged" voice he has.
Oh glorious disregard for consequence, gravity, safety, regulation and structure!
