The LEAP......

With a view to reach the sparkling crimson sphere and a hope to leap through the thin air it left the edge of the cliff. The plunge was an enthusiastic one, with all the courage behind, it cut through the particles of air to find free space for itself in that wide expanse of atmosphere in which it had suddenly entered.
That was so different from the restricted movement which it had faced up till now. The transformation was completely abrupt. For a fraction of a second there was nothing but darkness, but the other fraction of second brought the plunge in more realistic terms. Suddenly someone who was the part of a crowd on the ground was now an individual so lonely and utilizing all of its energy and momentum that it had gathered from that long.
The enthusiasm had reached its peak & the destination got clearer. The crimson sphere was brighter than ever. The spirit of freedom had set in when it freed itself from the others, the others who seemed to have lost in the way, the others who did not have enough in them & gave in to the pressure. It was these others who were with him but now they traversed vertically and the protagonist of our story marched on. Those glorious moments had found a new self out of its original being; a newer being that was more refined, more mature, more ambitious and yet more vulnerable. Yes, suddenly it realized that some kind of insecurity had set in. It somewhere had something to lose.

Good write!! An almost "insane" style. And yes, I agree "it" had everything to lose, coz it had leapt from the roof of the Petronas after snorting some high-grade cocaine. 103 of the "others" were cursing the remaining 103 thinking of the impending doom upon impact.
