The crackling sounds caused Paula to freeze and tremble, holding onto the rope 3 or so stories high.
Heavens, why didn't she realize that the second floor was so high up?
She didn't think she was afraid of heights, for it was foolishly forbidden in this era to be. After all, the many tall estate buildings were either cleaned by the poor or visited by the wealthy. The temples, city walls, towering landscapes, cliff side's and many other aspects allowed everyone, whether poor or rich, to get used to high levels. Even travelling on a ship and overlooking the waves below exposed one to great heights.
These were troubling times, with people having more serious things to worry about than fear of heights.
However, all this said, now that she had gotten off the tall building, suspended mid-air amidst the thunderous turmoil, how could she not be fearful?
