Slice #6

The Wire

It was just a wire.  Just a wire keeping me from falling to the floor of the ravine.  A wire and cables and a harness.  I peered over the edge of the high platform at the tops of trees.  I took a deep breath and jumped.  The wire, the wire and cables and harness that held me above the ravine floor all became a blur.  All I could see were trees.  Trees and...
"Monkeys!!!" Maisie yells 
There are a lot of monkeys.  I count about ten crawling around in the trees.  As we fly by them they squeak.  When I look in front of me I realize that I've almost reach the end of the zipline.  I break fast.  The wire screeches and I come to a stop just in time.
