Gliding down the slope, dodging the snow covered pines and jumping the smaller of the many boulders, I've never felt so alive. The sun reflects off the snow, making the world seem impossibly white and for once, pure. My heart is pounding in my head, threatening to explode unless the adrenaline finds a way out. So I push harder. I take higher jumps, tighter curves. Then the ground starts to shake, loosening small stones and pieces of snow. But with the help fo gravity, these small pieces rush down the slope behind me, picking up more and more snow, escalating into every boarder's nightmare. I try to pick up speed, but know it's no use. The wall of snow slowly creeps up behind me, pulling me under. I know this is it, the end. Then why am I not scared? 2008-01-25T19:03:33Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/15827 <p>Ficletacular!</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/15827?basename=36412 2008-01-25T19:03:33Z White Hat http://ficlets.com/authors/whitehat <p>Last line&#8217;s awesome&#8230;yeah, I agree with OTOC , but never to a life-threatening degree.<br />LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/15827?basename=28015 2007-12-13T23:09:13Z someday_93 http://ficlets.com/authors/someday_93 <p>I agree with Laine, about the rhetorical question <em>and</em> about loving Calvin and Hobbes.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/15827?basename=27991 2007-12-13T22:28:28Z emma jo_234 http://ficlets.com/authors/emmaj <p>I liked this, especially the rhetorical question at the end.
