Normally I'm quite calm, but seeing as the situation I'm in, I think it's permitted for me to freak out. I rounded a street corner, still running, just trying to get away from everyone. In one hand my cellphone, the other I was gripping a brief case. A pair of handcuffs linked me to the case. I rounded yet another corner, finally finding the bridge to out of town. The beeping sound from the case was slowly speeding up, I knew time was running out. I opened my cellphone one more time, still running, and dialed the only person I wanted to call at the moment. Her answering machine picked up on the third ring, meaning she was still mad at me. "Come on Anne, pick up! Please!" I say in frustration and pure desperation, and close the phone. I tried one more time as I stepped onto the bridge. I stopped, catching my breath, and waited for the answer. The answering machine picked up once again on the third ring, and I spoke softly, "I Guess this goodbye Anne. I'm sorry for being such a bother, just remember I still love you.". I clambered up onto the railing, looking down at the cold, brown, river. I closed my eyes and leaned over the edge, dropping, only opening my eyes just in time to see the water. Then the pain hit, and the blackness, and then the explosion.
