Ejecting to the Sea

You swiftly unstrap yourself from your seat, grab your backpack, pull open the sliding door, and toss yourself out in an unnecessary military/spy-style. The helicopter follows you as it falls in a flaming ball of fire. You reach for your parachute chord and you gently tug it. The huge military parachute immediately opens up and you contine falling towards the ocean at a great speed.

You look up. A small spark from the helicopter has landed on your parachute and it has caught on fire! You desparately try to shake the fire out but instead, you add more oxygen and the fire spreads faster. In a jiffy, it engulfs the whole parachute.

You look down. Falling at this speed even into water will kill you, you think. In a last desprate attempt, you unbuckle your parachute and spread your arms and legs into a starfish shape to hopefully slow down your speed. The sea comes closer and closer. No use. You are not slowing down.

You brace for impact. Your braces fall out. An agonizinly sharp pain spreads through your body as the sea waves swallow you. The last thing you see is the warm, sunny and beautiful sky with puffy white clouds and smoke and a burning helicopter ruining the view.
