Don't Let Me Jump, Don't Let Me Fall

Living near the coast comes with a worry. A shadow, almost. Living near the coast terrifies Jack.
But he wouldn't ever move.
5 minutes away from the 25 year olds house, is a cliff.
A tall, steep cliff.
Ever since Jack was young, his parents would say, over and over, 'Stay away from the edge.'
So he did.
And he told his friends to stay away when they got too close for his liking.
He was wary of the drop.

Jack was 21 when he made his decision.
He hated the cliffs.
