Prologue?
This is the prologue to something I'm working on. I just wanted to share it, and see if anybody thought the idea was promising. If you read it, tell other people to read it, and comment on it, dammit! >:0

Prologue

Outside it was warm and sunshiny, with puffy cumulus clouds lining the sky, the kind that you could spend hours looking at and trying to decipher shapes. It was one of those days where everything should be perfect, only it wasn’t.

The distinct sound of heavy school textbooks dropping to the warm asphalt could be heard, and a salty wetness flew through the air as dark brown hair swayed; a signal that a head had turned. A young girl around the age of thirteen cried as teases and taunts filled the air. They were all laughing at her. She picked up her books as rapidly as she could, rose to her feet in a split second, and dashed off like a bullet from the schoolyard, the loud pitter-patter of her shoes smacking the ground beneath her.

Not paying close enough attention to where she was going, the girl crossed the street without looking; several cars swerved to avoid her. Safely back on the sidewalk, while running, she tripped, and expected to hit the pavement, but it never came. She just kept falling...


She screamed bloody murder when she realized she was plummeting through the sky. It seemed her acceleration towards the ground increased rapidly; there was no way she would come out of this fall alive. And yet, some force, a parachute effect, kicked in and gently let her float towards the earth. The girl suddenly felt dizzy. She struggled to get up, but to no avail. Her body slumped over, and she fell unconscious.
