The Terrifying Task

I was at the edge of the cliff holding my breath. I looked over the cliff to see the ocean and it was a thirty foot drop. It seemed like a never ending fall into the black misty water that was rushing up against the cliffs edge.  There was a sudden rush of sea breeze that caused my body to shake although it was a hot sunny day .I was in a moment of doubt. I was very cautious and at the same time I made sure to be careful that my brother didn't push me into the dark water. My heart was racing and my legs were shaking and then another... sudden rush of sea breeze gave me goose bumps. I felt a groan in my stomach that was a weird feeling and I stood by the edge to look down with another feeling in doubt. Then I did one most daring things that I have done I jumped......and it felt like a never ending fall, the blood in my legs felt like it was racing up to my head.

I was in Krabi, Thailand for Christmas holidays. We went on a boat out to the Islands off of Krabi. We stopped at two different Islands before coming to this one which was the most popular. There were people jumping off the side of the huge cliff and after a long time there were some teenagers even doing back flips.  My brother wanted to go so I went too. We had to swim across a small bay to get to the rocks that lead to the cliff and the water was infested with sea ants. When I was swimming across I had a burning feeling on my body which would make constantly itch my body. When I got near to the cliffs I had to climb over some rocks to get on the top. It was easy for me to get up on the rocks but when I had to climb to the top there was loose dirt so I slipped a little.

When I came to the top it was a lot higher than it looked from below. It was scary and there were adults and teenagers that were there lined up waiting so I had to wait for them to  jump and  I had time to think. I was very scared so I went on to the smaller jump and then swam through the sea ants to the beach and I told my dad that it was too scary. Then my brother jumped off the cliff and so my dad said why don't you go try and jump because we don't have a lot of time. I went to try again then when I saw a person that was younger than me lining up to jump I felt more  pressured to jump so when I had my chance I jumped . The feeling of jump from high was weird it took three seconds for me to hit the water. There were tons of bubbles around me when I jump and opened my eyes in the dark green water. I had finally done it and had put the fear behind me.
