Adrenalin rushed throughout my crystal clear body. My excitement was incredibly intense that I rippled vigorously. The moment I had been waiting for my eternal life was now occurring. I couldn't believe my drop. It was known to be a myth to dropplings that before you "fell" you would feel violent rumbling. It was believed that our destiny was to erode, weather and "experience". Suddenly, my body fell out of the cloud. I could feel the world around me. Chaotic concrete fitted with glass and beautiful brick shapes caught my dreamy eyes without delay. Bright beams flashed beyond the skies limits that together evolved into colours that I had never imagined existed. The suns rays surpassed me as I became at one with the rainbow. This once in a life experience was better than I ever thought it could be. The objects around me began to enlarge rapidly as I fell to my depths I gave a little watery smile and then I was no more. I felt no regret in my heart as to what had happened as I lay in peace. That was the story of my long lost life. May my body rest in peace forever in the beautiful yet short life of the universe.
