Off the rail! a command It’s not made for you to play on. 
                                                         Get down get off . GET OFF!
it collapsed
           the sound sickening   in that moment  seemed long discrete seconds tick  tick  tick horrible ghastly screams tick tick blur of colored clothing tick blur of horrorcontorted faces 
                                                                 theyre gone    silence
couldnt hear their bodies strikesplash the cliff face brokendoll sledding pinwheeling HIT bottom  he watched them explode couldnt avert his eyes  witnessed                                                                                                                                brokeneggs oozing together spattered oozing separate like thin tentacles

earlier he leaned against the railing 

it felt stout

he had his picture taken
