The Parachute Jump

By Mario V. Farina

A bumbling English Professor felt compelled to make a parachute jump. His motivation was the belief that everyone must confront their fears bravely and conquer them. He had a fear of heights. Ms. Banion, his instructor was apprehensive about this person's clumsiness and begged him to reconsider. He insisted and found himself in space without a parachute. The story has a happy ending since he was "saved by the bell!"
