Novel & Cerita A Stone Is Dropped Into A Deep Well

Theo swallowed as they all kept their eyes down the edge of the moutain. The steam had covered up the area below the mountain making it hard to tell if they could escape with a jump down or even know how far away they were from the ground. He swallowed back anxiously and turned to Theo who searched around them for something, he watched him pick a stone off the ground and go back to the edge to drop it. They all listened in silence for the fall of the stone but after a dragged long minute of nothing, Theo had to ask. "Did you guys hear anything?"

He crouched down near the edge, staring at the smooth stones beneath the surface. I bent down beside him and picked up a small flat stone from the bank. “Let me show you something.” He watched carefully as I held the stone between my fingers. “You throw it across the surface like this.” With a quick motion of my wrist, I tossed the stone. It skimmed across the water three times before finally sinking. Daniel’s eyes widened. “It jumped!” “Skipping stones,” I said. He immediately began searching for his own stone. “This one?” he asked, holding up a round rock.

Rocks do not fall from below. As soon as he understood what was happening, another boulder the size of a human head smacked him in the back of the head and knocked the wind right out of him. It was not large nor heavy enough to cause any serious injury. It was just enough to jolt him off of the brick wall he was stuck against. And he fell thirty-five feet below the surface. However, this was not the one of Leo's death.

Down is just an endless steaming Red Sea. And it looks like we're a god-damned thousand feet high above. There are jagged rocks, cliffs and thick forest below, which appear very tiny in my eyes right now. The stone beneath my feet cracks and drops into the endless depths. I can't even make out where it landed. I step back again, but a hard push from one of us who's running out of the academy sends me falling downward. I scream, my body already falling when Morien grabs my waist, pulling me against his chest and stepping back.
