This was a simple dare! It could have been even harder! two men were racing backwards down the path. Looking behind him just to make sure he wasn’t about to fall over the guard rail, while he was looking away he felt two strong hands push him from his left side. He went flying over the side of the path and right over the cliff.
His hands flailed for something to grab onto finally his right hand hit a root.
It was in good placing because about five feet under it there was a stone.
He dropped down onto it and looked over the edge there was at least a ¼ mile drop beneath him. He sighed in relief, and looked up just in time to see his bike flying down at him, in those few seconds he saw…show more content… A while later I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw a darker skinned man sitting by the fire I immediately sat up and reached for my gun, but my back was in so much pain that I had to lay right back down.
