Quick Fill #202
“The rope frayed beneath her weight as she rappelled into the ravine, each meter dropping her deeper into shadow, and then—
it snapped in half. For a terryfying moment I was falling, before the emergany cord activated.
—the carabiner lurched to a stop, leaving her suspended in absolute silence.”

“"Snapped in half" hits hard—active, visceral. But "I was falling" breaks POV and diffuses impact. Tighten the pivot.”
