There was no point in screaming. He didn’t know how long he’d been falling but his arms and legs ached like he’d been running as though his life depended on it. Maybe he had. It was hard to tell here.

He screamed anyway. You never know your luck. This time might be different.

It wasn’t.

He shut his eyes, and let the screams die out…

After all, the view from the window was quite breathtaking.
