"Ah, that's one I shall never forget. While searching for a man that stole a lot of money from a bank, he was last seen by a large waterfall. So I and my mother went there. It was a beautiful scene at first: the trees around the waterfall, how the cliff was hidden by the rushing water, how the water made such a loud, peaceful noise, the roaring of it as it hit the rocks and water below it, I could have slept to it. However, my mother turned her back for a minute, I stood at the fence, leaning over it, watching the waterfall, the wind blowing water droplets in my face and hair. I was distracted. And the man I was looking for took advantage for that and pretty much lifted me off my feet and threw me over the railing. I did first hit the ground on the other side of the railing, but I forgot how gravity works, or I panicked slightly, and I slipped off the grass and started my fall. I did panic for a second, I thought I was going to die. My body was under the actual waterfall, so I was going faster, and the pain was coming in. The fall only took like five seconds. I slammed into the water at like... 63 miles per hour? I think? I blacked out almost immediately after I hit the water. And I woke up in a hospital, with my mother standing over my bed, explaining what happened. She said they found my body heading for the other drop, yes, that was a double waterfall, and they grabbed me with a helicopter before I took the other drop. If they didn't get to me in time, my mother says I may have not survived. She says it was a miracle I did survive. Even the injuries I was suffering wasn't bad. A broken back, ribs, arms, legs, and a bad concussion. I am not sure how I survived, but it did give me some life changing injures. I unfocus pretty fast, and migraines come rather frequently. And I break my bones more often since I'm not as strong as I was before. Don't worry, the man was found and sentenced to life in prison for the robbery, added on to the attempted murder of me, and other offences. I still have the scar on my back from the incident."
