Adrenaline Rush

I peered nervously out the small window at the ground below me. Okay maybe this wasn't exactly what I had in mind, I was starting to freak out as I felt my heart beating out of my chest and my breath getting faster and shorter. My instructor looked over at me and gave me the 'thumbs up' as he pried open the door. I held tight to my parachute and made the sign of the cross. I swallowed the lump in my throat, took a deep breath, and launched myself out the open door. Jumping out of that plane gave me a rush like nothing else I had ever experienced in my life, I felt weightless, fearless, like I was just floating there in mid air with not a care in the world. This was living!
