He took one look over the side of the high cathedral walls, took a couple of steps back and leaped over the edge…
Your move, writer.
That leap could break your heart or make it soar, depending on what waits below. Play it as a thriller and he's got wings strapped tight under his coat, a desperate invention untested until now, the whole scene crackling with the question of whether tonight he becomes legend or cautionary tale. Push it toward the fantastical and the fall never comes — he lands running on solid air, because the cathedral was never just stone, and neither is he. Or slow it down, make it quiet: no magic, no gadget, just a net his friends swore they'd hold, and the real story isn't the jump but the trust it took to believe they would. Same fifteen feet of empty air, three completely different kinds of courage waiting at the bottom.
