she had lived a childhood
of dreams and fantasy
villains and heroes
falling and flying
black and white
and now she walked the line
the ledge
between the two
black and white slowly mixed into grey
the wind stung her eyes
as she gazed into the distance
villain or hero?
falling or flying
what would it be?
she stepped forward
smiling
and as she flew
hurtling down the ten-storey drop
she felt alive
a hero
at last
