Slap

My heart swelled from my chest like the bulge of the ocean at high tide.
The gravitational attraction between the Earth, Moon, and Sun seemed to be pulling me apart.
I’d never felt so close to deaths doorway, and it was beyond a jar, it was wide open.
As an eternity passed within a moment, without hesitation, I jumped.
Earths oscillations embraced me and time stood still.
Never had I felt so terribly content.
The weight of my body bore towards the earth and then it happened.
Slap.
