Her feet dangled over the edge of the roof her seven story apartment building. Bare feet. Painted black toe nails. She turned on her teal Studebaker AM/FM radio, tuned to her favorite station.
“This song goes out to all the wild women flying in that starless sky. You know who you are.”
It was like her favorite broadcaster knew exactly what she wanted to hear. He spoke directly to her soul. It was a sign. The one she waited for her whole life. The lyrics buzzed through her body. She swayed side to side, closed her eyes and leapt.

She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is to darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
All your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Yowza! Did she make the right decision? Who knows. But the decision was hers to make - and only hers. When you are done, you are done. I am not suicidal, and if I were, jumping off a roof would not be my choice, but this piece is quite strong, Erica.
This is a great one
