Chapter 2: In the depths of despair
Silent like twilight, still like deep waters, focused as the breeze through a tree. The cold wind blows smoothly on her back as she prepares to leap. Her eyes wide, never twitching, never blinking. The prey moves cautiously through the grass, it looks so majestic, oh to catch one would be immaculate, she thought. She begins to hold her breath, put all the tension in her leg as possible and leaped! As the first sound of her footstep emanated across the forest floors, she could feel her heart pumped erratically. No time to act, no time to move, no time to think, everything is blurred, time seems to slow as you see your life appear before your eyes, those moments when you are truly one with nature, those moments when you are in the depths of your happiness, embarrassing moments, unforgettable experiences, it all comes back, as you see the jaws of death racing towards you, yet you cannot move, all the hair in you body stands up, all the pores opened, all your senses heightened, maybe this is the soul's way of going out peacefully, or maybe you were given a chance to ask forgiveness for your faults one last time. Within a split second it is finished. You are trapped, cannot move, cannot fight, nothing hurts, nothing is felt, though you are the one trapped in the claws of despair, everything seems fair. Then, silence.
