Peter stood at the precipice, leaned forward, and looked down. Twenty meters below ocean waves slammed into the cliff face. "Well," Peter smiled at Kristi, "ladies first."
Kristi looked over the edge and took several steps back. "You can't be serious!"
"There isn't any other way. If we take a good running start, maybe we can jump out far enough to avoid being smashed against the rocks."
"I still don't like it," Kristi muttered.
Raised voices echoed up from the forest behind them.
"We're out of time," Peter said. They took several steps back, held each other's hands, ran—
—and jumped.
