Picture this - you're trying to jump down from a fast-moving train. Are you able to? Can you?
Your heart is thudding furiously, and your hands are wet and clammy. You have to jump! But you can't.
The ground is rough and sharp with stones and it blurs before your eyes - it is too fast!
Your grip on the railing tightens as your legs start to shake.
You are frightened.
It will hurt, you know it.
You will survive it - it was almost a surety.
And yet...
You just can't.
It was fast, too fast.
The clock's ticking and time is running out.
You glance forward, only to see the road coming to an end a distance away.
Too small a distance away.
You bite back a sob and try not to cry.
Closing your eyes, you will your feet forward, forcing your grip apart.
And then you jumped.

Time is flying by too fast. Or is it just me?
