I begin to feel myself falling, and I am trying to stop but can’t. I feel completely out of control as I fall. I’m in slow motion as I watch myself fall. I stretch my hands out to protect myself, but the fear paralyzes me. I can’t move my arms as I slowly topple like a tree toward the steps below. Try to include as much detail in the scene as possible and write it as if it’s happening to you in the present. Write it in the first person, and include as many of your thoughts and feelings as you can.
