Day One Hundred Thirty-Seven: "The Drop" by Alan Glynn

Convergence.

A man falls from a building and contemplates life, albeit briefly, and comes to the conclusion that there are no answers. He lands on the asphalt, is not killed, and he leaps up and runs away. A perfect metaphor for what happens when any of us fall on our faces. This was an extremely short story. Flash Fiction but...I figured it was perfect for today given it is National Flash Fiction Day.

Here is a link to this lovely story:
