A string of poor decisions force Jared to make the most difficult choice of his life.

Suddenly, he was falling.
Jared looked around wildly. He had the feeling he got the first time he went bridge jumping. He knew that below him lay forgiving water. The fear would be gone in a moment. The shock would be short lasting and inevitably insignificant. Yet panic still gripped him and the only way he could describe it was having his stomach punch past his throat and out of his head. He looked down and saw the ground slowly, but inescapably, coming towards him; no water would cushion this fall.
