Fifty Floors Up... I Tested The Breeze... And... ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜

She asked me if she could see it. I said ; "Sure." I worked for the engineering firm that was putting it up. It was that tall gray building downtown - with the pointy top. The one that resembled a penis. We wore white construction helmets ; very official looking.

We walked up those last few flights of metal stairs and paused. It was dark ; shadows ruled that space. City lights shimmered and stars twinkled... over towards the right. We held our breath - as if someone, might hear.

The wind cared less as it played a boisterous tune, along steel beams and between, red painted pillars. I reached for her hand... and we tread onto that dusty, concrete floor. White plastic sheets (draped along walls), flapped wildly in the draft. We walked closer towards the far side. You can see a lot of the world, from fifty floors up. Yet, I could vaguely hear ... the muffled growl of traffic below.

"Paul...! That's close enough." she exclaimed.

She leaned and stepped away from me... as I tested the breeze and peered... over the edge. How much closer could I get? When my stomach filled with a million butterflies... and my head grew dizzy, I realized - I might be near enough. I sensed her hand pull... and yank me back.

We hugged each other, as the wind whistled in our ears and silenced the city. It was a beautiful night.

"One more glance, over the brink?" I thought. My heart raced. Could I trust that breeze... not to nudge me?

Ever test the 'breeze'; whatever YOUR - 'dare' is?

Heights... They scare the crap outta me ; yet, I'm always drawn to them. Scary high things? Bring em on... ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Now that's what I call a dangerous walk together, so glad you both enjoyed it. No can't say I have ever experienced this as I am afraid of heights. But it would of been a sexy dangerous kind of encounter too..I hope you enjoy the rest of your Thursday..

Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

I might have peeked over the edge โ€ฆ might โ€ฆ laying on my stomach....which is not a bad position, if you think about it.

+2C here today but cloudy. Always cloudy. Which would you prefer โ€ฆ Clear but cold or warmer and gray?

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

I think, often, we are more willing to test our limits when thereโ€™s someone there to encourage us or to watch that we donโ€™t put ourselves in harmโ€™s way. I donโ€™t like heights either. When I was a kid, I cried so much on a roller coaster, they had to stop it to let me off. Now, I love flying and still waiting to become a member of the โ€˜mile high clubโ€™.

I would peak over the edge... with my fall arrest harness on.... my luck the person I am with might want to push me over.... or just one sneeze and you're gone.

Very well written!

Like BJ, I'd probably be on my hands and knees or on my stomach if I was going to peer over the edge.

Peeking and stomachs are good... I've been on my knees, looking over the edge.
It was sunny and - 15 with the wind today.
I think I'll take the cloudy and warmer... on some days. Ya gotta dress up for those sunny cold days. Ya know?
I HATE the cold when I'm not dressed up for it. ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒžโœ”๏ธ๐ŸŽ„

The only way you will get me up there is you knock me out and carry me. I loved the story. Sounds like you had fun.
