Chapter One

The first beams of the rising sun finally reached the small city of Colorado. The stars were still glimmering, but their light soon vanished in the sky. Birds were greeting the new day with their songs. The city was slowly waking up from its sleep. People were rushing to work and the fresh morning air was filled with the noise of running vehicles. Another regular day was about to begin in the city.

The harsh sound of an alarm clock smashed the stillness of the morning in a four storey building. The man in the bed quickly stretched his arms to turn off the alarm on his phone. Rubbing his eyes, yawning, he was slowly waking up. He embraced and kissed the girl lying next to him, his unshaven face scratched her soft skin, but she sure did not mind.

Are you already leaving? Tamara asked with a sleepy voice.

Yeah, I have to if I want to climb that rock before noon.

Fine, but please be careful, you know how much I hate this dangerous hobby of yours.

As always, he smiled.

Don’t worry, I’ll be home late in the afternoon, he said, caressing the girl’s face.

He jumped out of bed, got dressed, grabbed a quick breakfast and got his backpack with his climbing equipment. He said goodbye to his sweetheart and rushed out of the apartment. He got his helmet on while running down the stairs; as he stepped out of the building. His beloved and much-honored motorcycle was waiting for him on the street. As he started the engine, the vehicle greeted him with a characteristic metallic sound.

The neighbors were not entirely happy about it, though. He switched into first gear and while accelerating the speed, he took the road and soon left the city behind.

In thirty minutes, he was riding into the desert and rangy land that was so typical of the Colorado site. His motorbike was having a blast on these roads as it was racing gracefully up and down the hills, creating a great drift of dust. The rain was a white crow there. He had to ride for hours to get to his beloved mountains.

Steven Cross was a few inches taller than average, he was a sporty and handsome man in his thirties. His blond hair was cut short, his eyes were blue as the ocean and his face was always unshaven. He worked in the city as a car mechanic. He liked riding the motorcycle and climbing mountains in his free time; its danger magnetized him. He has been doing it for years now and his body has hardened while doing this sport. He could not wait to get to the mountains and start climbing. Although his girlfriend, Tamara was not entirely happy about this, she realized she could not convince him to stop so accepted her boyfriend’s passion.

The sun was running high when he arrived at the familiar rocky area, which wore the light brown colors of the land in the daylight. He stopped the engine and looked around. The weather was perfect, a light breeze blew away all the clouds in the sky. The temperature was escalating quickly and was almost about to turn unbearable. He was surrounded by steep cliffs, both small and huge ones.

He got his helmet and sweater off and only took the pickaxe and his backpack with himself. After a short walk, he arrived at the rock he had chosen, a thirty yard high, steep top. He struck the pickaxe into the wall and pulled himself up, his muscles tightened up, but they were trained to endure hard physical activity. He was reaching forward skillfully, one grip following another. He was moving carefully, watching his balance and the cracks of the surface that could serve as a climbing hold. He took a rest a few times to regain his strength. It took almost an hour to get to the top. The temperature reached its peak and he was sweating and panting heavily, trying to breathe in the fresh air.

The sight from the top was incredible. He could see the whole area, covered with mountains and canyons and a plain in the distance, where the city was lying. He sat down, took a deep breath and got the flask out of the backpack, taking big sips of water in order to quench his thirst. This is where he felt the best: in the height and in the silence. He was watching the birds circling in the distance. More than half an hour passed when he decided to climb down. Suddenly the ground and the whole
