I stood there, toes barely hanging over the edge, breathing so fast, heart racing, palms sweating, mind frozen with fear, staring down 200 feet to the river rushing below. Could I jump, would I jump? I inched forward, though almost paralyzed by the fear. No I couldn't do it! I just couldn't! It was too much. I almost tried to push backwards, but he stood behind me, urging me forward. It just wasn't in me to jump, but it was too late...
