Cliffs are scary… have you ever almost fell off a cliff? One day as a family we decided to go for a drive, we drove around and saw a cliff was a really nice view so we pulled over, got out and the car and went to go take a look. As soon as I stood out the car, I inhaled a huge scent of ocean as the wind hit my lips, I tasted the salty sea air. I was walking over to my family and felt the blazing sun beating down on my face. A seagull squawked looking over something… probably food. I watched the waves in the distance.
I wanted to see over the cliff to see what was at the bottom. I slowly edged over the side and I froze, the adrenaline started pumping through my body. I heard my mum shouting at me to move away from the edge before I fell, but I just laughed and continued to walk near the edge. I sat there hanging my feet over the edge watching waves until they crashed onto the shore and fade away. It started to lightly ran which made and grass on the cliff a little slippery, so I had to be careful when walking.
The rain didn’t bother me though I was still having a good time with my family and nothing was going to stop that.
I stood up and went to go stand with my dad, who was also watching the waves. I watched them with him for a little then went to go ask my mum something, but I completely forgot about the grass being wet. I stepped on the grass and slipped, first my feet then my legs went over the edge of the cliff. My dad just stood there and watched me almost fall to my death, but he didn’t seem to mind.
