Watch Tower - Shailey Wooldridge

Recently I went on a mission trip to Indiana and the church I stayed in was built in 1905 and  had a watch tower that I didn't know existed until my last day there. To get to the watch tower you have to go to the sanctuary where there's a door that leads to a stair case. You go up that stair case onto the balcony floor, but instead of going out the door onto the balcony there's a little door that could be easily over looked. That door lead to another set of steep steps that were covered in dirt and God knows what else. If you pay attention you could see skeletons of small animals. There was a bird skeleton intact on the fifth step. When you reach the top of the stair case you were in a small dirty room filled with only broken glass littering the floors and one seemingly unstable wooden ladder. You had to go up that ladder, skip the fourth step because it was broken and you were in the watch tower. Five stories from the ground. On each side of the four walls there multiple times I sat on the edge with my feet hanging off the side, or stood in the thing that was like a huge window but there was no glass so there was absolutely nothing preventing me from falling from the building and splattering onto the concrete and breaking all my bones and dying a brutal and awful death. But I stood there, and I took pictures in there, and I dangled my feet off the side and I wasn't scared. I even jumped over the ledge and sat on the roof for a good hour, Not even when I pretended to fall to freak someone out was I scared. But sometimes when I watched someone else do the exact same thing I did seconds before, or later when I thought about standing there on the building I got absolutely terrified. It just made me think about how many things we don't do out of fear. Also I just wanted to brag about how I did something cool.
