A View To A Kill

I clutched the branch and looked down at the ground below. It must be 20 metres.

I have no.idea.how I got here.

There were no lower branches that would support my weight.

I looked down at the ground again and could make out the distant figure of a bird grazing on the seeds below. I considered jumping and using the bird to cushion my fall.

How the fuck would I get down? No one would ever hear me scream. No one would come by.

And that's when I learnt that my horoscope was right for the day. Unexpected things would happen, but only when I put business to the back of my mind.
