Second Chance Idol High Wire Act

Her feet lightly kiss the ground as she haltingly approaches the ledge. The task before her is daunting, for the ledge is as thin as a thread and it towers above the ground. Despite the perilous journey before her, she faces it fearlessly. She seems to project a lazy confidence as if this was nothing compared to things she has faced before.

One foot slowly crosses over the other as she treads across the scant surface. There is no reason to hurry. This adventure is one that should take time. One slip, and it could mean a very gruesome end. Balance and attentiveness is going to help her cross this obstacle.

A bug zooms by her eyesight, annoying her just enough for her to bat at it. Though, the bug assumes it is some sort of game, so it darts by again. Once more, she swats at it, though this time she wobbles precariously on the narrow ledge.

The bug speeds by, one last time, breaking her concentration on balance. Her legs lurch to the side as she starts to plummet to the ground. Nails dig into the wooden surface of the ledge as she dangles desperately off the side. Her feet claw at the air, but she can’t seem to pull herself up.

Almost as if it were in slow motion, her desperate hold begins slipping. She tries to fight it, but she tumbles towards the ground. A few seconds is all she has before she meets a grim demise. Quickly, she twists her body and spreads out her legs to so she can absorb the force of the fall just before she slams into the ground.

All is calm as she looks up at the ledge that she tried to tame. Mild annoyance washes over her face before she saunters off with her nose in the air. Her perplexing defeat is soon forgotten as she naps upon a warm rock in the summer sun. What else is a cat to do after she is defeated embarrassingly by a bug?
