Opening Scene: a Cliff top in Sussex
Standing on the edge of a lesser known cliff top overlooking a sleepy Sussex town, Jane caught her breath, taken away briefly by the stunning sunset playing across the English Channel. It was a balmy evening, the wind softly gusting onshore, the sea a dark steel grey, waves gently rippling split by a golden swath of light coming from the bright orb of a Sun slowly sinking into the ocean and silently drawing a close to another glorious day.
Jane waited until the Sun disappeared below the horizon, she was sobbing. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She felt let down, abandoned and life seemed pointless, it had for some time and she'd cried for help, but real help was not on hand. She stood up and leaned into the empty air, describing a perfect dive. The air rushed to greet her for a few moments of serene freedom, then inevitability a sudden and final end. Yet nobody witnessed her passing. A few seabirds briefly looked sideways and that was that. It was as if she'd never existed, except for a few crustaceans, alerted to the possibility of a meal.
It was late the next day when a couple walking along the shore spotted her broken untidy form..........
