Short Stories

If I write short stories, I can kill two birds with one stone.
1. My creative writing class will have another exercise done!
2. I can put them on here for feedback before I hand them in.
Smart, right?
Here it is... numero uno!

Sarah had waited nearly her whole life for this moment, it is something she always wanted to do. Now, at the age of 25 the moment was finally here, but Sarah couldn’t understand why her legs were frozen to one spot. With her long, frizzy, brown hair flying behind her, her petit body lost in her bright blue jumpsuit, and her face covered by massive safety goggles, Sarah looked like the perfect picture of a sky diver. She was so close, standing poised on the edge of the plane with door thrust wide open where all she could see was clear blue sky for miles. The clouds looked puffy, full, and white, the sky a brilliant shade of powder blue seemed ready for her to jump in. However, with the whirl of the airplane engines making a loud and obnoxious spinning and cutting sound, it was hard for Sarah to center her thoughts. The guys on board the plane kept yelling, “Jump Sarah, jump!” There voices all mixed together sounded like a giant crowd hooting and hollering above the plane engines. Sarah realized it was now or never, and with the fresh air whipping her face, she spread her tiny, delicate arms, closed her large chocolate brown eyes, and flung herself into the wind.
Her body, flat as a saucer, was halfway down before she realized she could open her eyes and enjoy herself. When she did, it was bliss. The only noise was the wind lightly tapping at her eardrums, and the houses looked like tiny ant specs below. When Sarah opened her mouth to smile, she tasted nothing but fresh, crisp air. The time came to open her parachute, and Sarah pulled the string hard. The parachute made a whoosh as it flew open nearly three times her size. Sarah could see the edges of it, bright pink and blue, as it flapped about above her head. The warm glow of the sun reverberated off Sarah’s face as she slowed down, and jutted her petit legs and feet out, ready to land.

what do you think?!
