The wind whipped through her hair, a high pitched ring assaulting her ears as she fell. With a stomach tied up in knots of betrayal, fear, anxiety, and sadness she’d come to realize that a small bit of hope was peering through and even though it was small it was slowly beginning to spread- taking out all of the ill-emotions she’d let harbor for too long and give her the peace and tranquility she needed. Sure, two days ago she’d been left at the altar by the one she believed she loved but as she whipped through the air the young woman came to realize that no, she did not need them in her life as she once thought.
Watching the clear, inviting waters come closer and the sound of the other tourists cheering for her jump from the top of the waterfall the scorned woman finally became free.

Like the moon free falling towards the earth, he is powerless to stop it. Stripped of any weight as nothing and no one, not even air, stands between him and the person that has become the centre of his whole existence. Locked into orbit by a force beyond his control, wishing for something larger to knock him out of it, yet terrified of the very prospect of ending up back in that heartless black void, adrift and alone. So he counts away the cycles and contemplates the sun, bracing for a second impact he’s not sure will ever come.

Mine comes out like a poem and now I can't read everyone's normally! :C

does it count as falling if there’s no gravity to carry you and nowhere to land? / but that’s what they called it though, in training, they said free fall, they said in the unlikely occurrence that you should enter free fall, seek immediate assistance from a nearby crew member, except, no one’s left anymore / and as you fall (if it counts as falling) you wonder what will kill you first / will you run out of oxygen before you go mad?

@TripTripleTimes It’s true, yours does read an awful lot like a poem. The sentences definitely felt like verses, but I also think it was the alliteration (“fell far”, “death due”) and how the different lengths of the words were arranged that gave it a bit of a rhythm 
. I don’t know, poetry’s not my thing but I enjoyed it all the same 
. Plus, it’s always nice to have a little rhythm in your prose (pretty much the only reason why I always read “The Great Gatsby” out loud).

Falling is much more difficult than flying. To fly, one must constantly move to stay above the ground; meanwhile, to fall, one must let go of everything. A person must lose everything in the material world in order to enter this tranquil state. Human beings love control, but when you fall, you have no control; therefore, falling goes against our innate nature and is much more difficult than flying.

. Didn't want to make run on sentences)

holy fuzz, trying not to do run on sentences was freaking hard. I'm sure I did that xD

Look, it's your friends, and your family, come to see you on your last trip. Their voices only serve to make you smile- you are at last somewhat important to them. You open up your arms, in an attempt to emulate the visage that of a magnificent eagle before it takes its swooping dive, and laugh. No parachutes, no safety net to rid you of your magnum and final opus, you take your fall forwards to freedom.

I think word count might be a better system than sentences.

Mm. I could see why you'd think that, as people are using semi-colons more than usual and whatnot, but it still is, in my opinion, a fine idea to have a sentence limit. It expands our knowledge in a way- the entire purpose of the game.

She stared down, past her bright red sneakers barely clinging to the edge of the rooftop, at the tiny cars filling the streets, at the even smaller people going about their day, unaware of the girl several stories above them. Up here, she felt powerful, like she was a deity watching over her subjects. The feeling didn't last long. She turned around, because even in the end she was a coward, and let herself fall backwards.

It leads to quite a bit of grammatical errors. Run-on sentences and misuse of semi-colons to be exact. The reason I'm saying word limit is because sentences are more ambiguous and wilder. You could make 4 sentences in two lines meanwhile you can still make 4 sentences in eight lines. Word count on the other hand makes it more competitive because everyone plays by the same rules and cannot overstep a rule.

There is no denying that. In fact, I totally agree. Some people don't consider the fact that people are looking for quality over quantity, but they will soon enough. All in all, no matter what, it's a learning process, though.
Wow. I sound like my old English teacher.

Ughh this is hard! Do I have to chose a winner?
It was really close, really really close but I think this one goes to @Ambedo
I'm a sucker for detail and you seem to have a talent for it. Also this: "he grew wings at that moment, he could fly." is was pushed you to the top for me.
Your turn for choosing the prompt, good luck!

♡-♡ I didn't think I was going to win this round. I was intimidated by seriously everyone else's entries. I'm so happy. Thank you. Especially since I considered deleting it and rewriting one that focused on Alice falling down the rabbit hole. Heh.
Ah- now what shall I do for the next prompt? Describe something unseen, or invisible. Something we as humans cannot physically see, but may believe in.
Here's the catch, however. Your post must be exactly 100 words. You have 24 hours from this post's time stamp. Good luck, my dears.

I guess we can punish run-on sentences and misuse of semi-colons and dashes, since they are considered grammatical errors.
Though its probably punishment enough that they dont get nominated for wins?
Idk. I just write suicides and depression and falling in love.

Hm? Everyone who submitted an entry was automatically nominated for the win- that's just how contests work. Nobody is dissing nobody because of grammatical errors- this is a learning expirement, most of us are here to simply have fun. Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding.

Knees bowed, head bent. A hidden room that kin find not, shut away from daily life, set apart for purpose. In its silence is solace closed sight accepts.
There search without the eye. Listen without the ear.
Find this, the form of meditation that fills the secret senses. It cannot be found within the heart; only darkness is found there. Nature points to it, but cannot hold it. All people know it, and have built a wall of lies in order to pretend it does not exist.
The truth is unhidden and unseen. Draw close to the gift of life.

This isn’t something we can see, something we can truly track. We perceive it, we use it, but that doesn’t mean that it actually exists. How can it exist when we can’t validate its existence? There are too many people that perceive it differently. When one leaves the planet’s surface, it behaves differently between those on the planet and those off world. When those that have left come back, it has changed. Those on the planet may not even exist anymore it has changed so drastically.
Being able to manipulate time for travel may not ever be within our grasp.

@asharasaharaThat was only 99 words, my dear. According to 'wordcounttools' anyway.

[SIZE=14.666666666666666px]I hate bedtime. I hate when mommy reads me a story and daddy kisses my cheeks because I never know when it’ll be the last time. I tell them this but they don’t believe me. They never believe me. Mommy looks under the bed and Daddy yells a warning into the closest but it’s never enough. It doesn’t care what he says because when they finally leave the room it’ll be coming to eat me. When they leave is when I know that I’m no longer a kid but a soldier trying to survive to see morning one more time. [/SIZE]
