Someone is walking on a ledge, almost carefree. Voices start overlapping each other growing louder and louder the more they walk. A far off scream is let out , resulting in the fall of the person walking on the ledge. As they are falling, an angel swoops down and catches them so quick that they couldn't really make out who it was or had the time to turn back. A birds eye view is shown of the same person now in a plain white room surrounded by darkness. They wake up and look around in fear of where they are. They are very overwhelmed, causing them to punch a wall and let out a cry for help. Everything stops. They look through the hole with their teary eye and faintly sees an angel on the other side just standing and looking back at them. They then wake up on the ground of the city, surrounded by concerned by-passers. |
