Forgotten in a Beast world

"Mary, be careful!" She is paying more attention to her phone for a selfie than the cliff she is standing on. All because of her stupid i********: account. I love her as she is my best friend and all, but she really needs to realize that there is no photo worth your life. Seriously, do you want to end up dead? It would be such a stupid way to die. Well, even with all the photo-taking. I really appreciated her doing this hike with me. I have always wanted to hike the otter trail. It's a 5-day hike next to the sea, with cliffs, mountains, rivers and forest. It is truly breath-taking. My grandfather used to do this trail every year till he was 70, but unfortunately, I was still too young to hike it with him. So, after he passed away, I inherited his hiking gear. I really loved my grandfather even though he loved to scare me and tease me. I really miss him. So, I decided to finally do the otter trail and Mary was so kind enough to join me. She was actually my only friend that was fit enough to do it with me. She is just an absolutely amazing friend and when you ask her to do something she is there, even if it means hiking for 5 days. I can’t blame her for wanting to take a photo. It is absolutely breath-taking. And where she is standing on the edge of the cliff with the sea behind her with the distant outline of the mountains from the next cove. It is truly an i********: worthy photo. Regardless, she really doesn’t have to stand that close to the edge and the older sister in me is freaking out. "Mary, I am serious! Do you know how many people died from selfies? Please don't become one of them!" I know. I am nagging, but I really care for her and I don’t want her to injury herself or fall off the cliff, especially on the first day. And it doesn’t help that Mary is practically fearless. I had to rescue her from a mountain once when she lost her way when hiking, all because she was tired and left her group. Thank goodness for live location tracking. So, all the more reason why she has to be careful. She keeps putting herself in dangerous situations. Thank goodness she knows I nag because I care. "Chill lax Sarah, I know what I am doing. Just give me a sec.......ahhhhhhhhh!!!!! She screams as the rock she is standing on moves and she drops her phone. I knew it. Taking photos so close to the edge is dangerous and stupid. "MARY GET AWAY FROM THE EDGE NOW!!" I sprint towards her to get her away from the cliff. But she didn’t listen and is trying to get her phone, which is dangerous lying on the very edge of the cliff. Just as I reach her, the rocks give way. The phone falls. Mary tries to grab her precious phone and the process slips. Thank goodness for close proximity as I am able to grab her by her belt, stopping her from following the stupid phone. " YOU i***t! HOLD ON!!" I am lucky Mary is smaller than me. Cause I am not the strongest person when it comes to my arms, but with all my might I yank her back to solid ground. With my effort, we both fall onto the ground. " Told you it was not safe" We both laughed with relief after that near-fatal experience. I started to stand up with all my hiking gear. Five days of hiking stuff is really heavy and takes time to get used to. It can really throw you off balance when you are wearing the pack. Then it happens... in my efforts to stand up I slip on the gravel. I try to recover but with my backpack on, my reaction is just too slow. It feels like it is happening in slow-mo. But before I can scream. The look of horror on Mary's face confirms it. There is no saving me. As I slowly topple off the edge of the cliff. Following Mary's precious phone, she reaches for me, but I am just out of her reach. I am falling off a cliff. And there is nothing I can do. I am too in shock to scream. I am going to fall down the cliff onto the rocks and be swept away by the sea. My body will never be found. Just like him... I won’t survive this... my body won’t be found.
