Spider

In elementary school, my girlfriend and I were in the playground playing on the spider. You know, the rounded, metal jungle-gym. I was near the top and my girlfriend was at the very top. I was watching her. She let herself down through the bars and she was hanging by her hands. She let go to drop to the ground but she didn’t fall. She just hung there in the air, with no contact with the bars. After a few moments, she suddenly dropped to the ground. When she landed she looked at me and said “Did you see that!?” “Did you see that!?” Yes, I had seen it. After that, she climbed up those bars over and over again, dropping herself from the top, just as she had before, but that strange thing didn’t happen again.
