Dying to live

She stepped to the cliff edge, a vast expanse spread out beneath her. The wind was blowing her hair across her face, her skirt billowing slightly. She kicked the stones around her over the edge, watching them freefall silently. Her skin pricked into goosebumps. She could be that free. It was just one more step forward.
She closed her eyes, gave her body and mind a moment to comprehend what she was about to do, and fell into the canyon beneath her.
Strange thing was though, the seconds before she fell to her death- those seconds were the only time that she had ever really felt alive.
