Prompt:

I stand taller, trying to get away from the edge. Tears running down my red cheeks. I remember her smirk as she skip away in glee. Leaving me in such despair.

I step away, trying to get away from the edge. But there's nowhere I can go. Surrounded by swamps, she left me all alone. Mama, I'm scared.

I stood trembling, trying to get away from the edge. What have I done wrong? I watch the water swallow the chair I stood at. Mama, where are you?

I stand high, trying to get away from the edge. Remembering how she had lured me to help her. Only to trap me here. Oh, how cruel of her.

I step up, trying to get away from the edge. Mama, come back. I can't take it anymore. The chair keeps sinking into to water.

I stood there, trying to get away from the edge. Isn't that what everyone's trying to do? Run from problem to not be caught. Run from mistake to not be blamed.

I keep my stand, as the edge slowly disappears to the water. Mama, I'm scared. But if this means I can join you up there among the stars, I'm ready. I watch as the water touches my stocking-covered feet.

I can't move, I can't see the edge. Tears running down my red cheeks. The water slowly swallows my small frame. Mama, I'm coming.
