Kiah had always wanted to go skydiving. It was on her bucket list for when she became a billionaire, but now, here she was, a sudden college dropout and living her dream. Or maybe nightmare would be more fitting.
All around her, Initiates screamed for their lives as they fell through the sky, still strapped to their seats.
Her pulse hammered as the ground rushed closer and closer. Surely the organization wouldn't send them on a mission only to let them die on impact… right? She wasn't so sure anymore and she didn't have time to think about it either. She had a more pressing issue at hand.
The sun had just begun to peek over the horizon, washing the world below in pale light.
Kiah forced herself to breathe, frantically searching her seat for a button, trigger, anything that could slow her fall. There was nothing.
They were barely a few kilometers from the ground now, and panic clawed her chest.
"We're gonna die!" Someone's screamed beside her.
