Never would I have thought that events would turn the way they did. Oh it began with just a simple slip. The gravel underneath my feet began to shake. The panels seemed to slip from below. But my friend was convinced we would be okay. I told him it was a terrible idea. Sneaking onto random roofs. What were we thinking?

Well, I wasn't, that's for sure. I'm not sure if he was thinking or not, either. But he was doing fine. He made the jump with little to no problems. Of course, he would.

I remember those words. They always pushed me to do the most regrettable things. Oh, but I could never turn anything down when those words are said. That's why for some reason, ever though I have no reason to be, I was surprised that it happened.

15 feet from the ground. I'm an idiot.
