From the pavement I could see that the lady had ran out onto the roof of the building to escape the horde that chased her. I saw her look to the edge and anticipated her plan and the ill fate of it. I could hear shouts from the swarm but could not see thier faces. She ran, pushing up one sleeve on her oversized sweater in preparation for scaling the edge. I saw her turn toward her attackers, wobble on the edge for barely a second before stumbling backward off the ledge. I looked away before she hit the pavement and then back again to see the outcome. As she writhed on the ground I wondered if she had remembered to cover her head during the fall.
