My best friend is a big fan of diving. Me, I'm more of a flying guy. The only difference is that when flying you're not supposed to plummet in the end. I can't say I ever understood the fear of heights. It's the depths that really get to me.

The last time my best friend went diving he forgot to come back. I'm still waiting. They tell me he's going to rise up some day. He better have, so that I can finally teach him to fly. There's just one trick to it: don't fall. That ain't no rocket science.
My second entry to *fotoFRIDAY's Progress contest (you're allowed two entries, as long as they're not in the same category). This one's in the drabble category, which means it's exactly 100 words (not counting the title). It's based on same photo as the previous piece.

All critiques and suggestions greatly appreciated, as I might still edit this piece. Remember that it's supposed to be 100 words, no more, no less, so I can't just remove or add large chunks of stuff without changing the rest.

I'm also awfully behind with the comments in my message center. So I'm not ignoring you if I seem to take ages to reply.
