SIX SENTENCE STORIES clue…slip

The Jump
“I have my parachute on and will follow you down uncle Joe,” Alex said jokingly.
“You stand back and Emily will record my jump,” Joe said.
The door opened, Alex moved a little closer, knocked against the tripod which caused him to slip and fall forward.
He fell against Alex, then fell out of the plane.
His first reaction was panic, but he remembered to pull the cord and his parachute opened.
He realized, with satisfaction, he was jumping for the first time and was hoping Emily was recording it!

I’ve never jumped; the slip and fall from a plane would be most unnerving !!! I’m not sure I’d remember to pull the cord if I’d “jumped” in error. Good use of the cue.

Thank you! I doubt I would have the presence of mind to pull the cord, or I would somehow fumble it in my haste.

After the first sentences I was sure something gruesome was gonna happen. Well done!

very nice! (somehow) it was such a low-key intro, that I was totally caught by surprise (at the falling out of the plane) and laughed (in relief) at the safe landing.
excellent Six!

It may not have happened as gracefully as planned at the start, but at least it was accomplished!

I hope both the camera, no doubt attached to the tripod, didn’t get bumped out of the plane by Alex. It would have been awful to have miss that historic first jump.

That’s true and hopefully the camera was quickly put in motion to capture the event.

This is the second story I’ve just read from you about being up in the air! Are you a wannabe bird? Delightful.

Ha! Ha! Thank you! Perhaps it is my subconscious telling me to break free of something. If so, I wish it would be a little clearer! Or maybe I’m just on a one track way of thinking right now.
