Balance.
Be careful,
Dont fall.
One false move
And its all
Over.
I knew that I
Wouldn't fall.
I've done this
Since age three.
What is that
Glowing,
Flickering
Light?
Fire!
I suddenly loose
Balance.
And peacefully
I plunge to my death
I swear as I hit the ground
I heard the screech of an
Eagle

JUST IN CASE I WASNT CLEAR THIS ABOUT A TIGHTROPE-WALKER THAT SEES FIRE IN THE TENT.SHE IS DESTRACTED AND LOOSES BALANCE AND WELL FALLS TO HER DEATH

SHOULD THIS BE A FICTION STORY?
