Jessica's pulse quickened. Fear threatened to overcome her. How was it possible? It couldn't be real. Maybe she was hallucinating. She felt the spray on her face and the rushing water on her arms. She moved her fingers and felt a fingernail with her thumb.
She always thought waterfalls were magical, but in a figurative sense. Not literally. Five minutes ago she was admiring the beauty of the falls. Now it threatened to assimilate her into it. What was happening?
Her senses were intact. She didn't feel sick. She never did drugs in her life. But then, what was the answer? How could she make any sense out of this? Her hand was there--she felt it. But her hand wasn't there--she couldn't see it. She saw clearly the rock behind the falls and her hand should be scraping up against it. But at her wrist, where the water cascaded over it, her hand simply vanished.
