I peer into the bottomless well, willing my eyes to penetrate the blackness. Unforgiving, empty. I pull myself onto the cool brick edging and glance over my shoulder as if I am being followed. I am alone. The night air is brisk. I am moving faster than I imagined I would. I check again. I am alone. I slide off the edge and into the abyss below. No turning back now.
Somebody calls out my name.
I clutch at the smooth walls for nothing, silently tangling with darkness as I fall.
It's too late.
And I have changed my mind.
