Dream
I dreamt that I lived on top of a tall building with my mother. I wanted to go outside to watch h the stars. Outside was a glass railing to protect from falling down. But also a chair, a sun chair, built on top of the railing. I sat down in it, seeing both sides of the railing beside me, and then I slowly leaned backwards. I could see the stars. Then mom was looking for me inside. I waved at her, and she opened the door to ask what I was doing. I said I was watching the stars, but I wish I was not so afraid of heights, and that I was afraid to fall. Each time I leaned backwards, it felt like I would slide out of the chair and over the edge. She assured me I would not.
So I leaned back. And I slid backwards out of the chair. As I see both mom and the chair getting further away, my hands reached out to grab anything to hold on to, but they just slid too.
Then, as I was falling full speed down from the tall building, I realized there was nothing I could have done. Now I just had to accept my death.
