THERE IS A 500 WORD LIMIT TO THIS CONTEST!

In this contest, we provide you with a final paragraph in a story. It's your job to write parts of the story leading up to the paragraph. Don't include our paragraph in your story (it's not part of the word limit). Your writing doesn't need to take place at the beginning of the story, so you don't need to make your story an explanation leading up to our paragraph. Rather write it as though it's a small piece of something larger.

Here's the paragraph:

The feeling of the wind on his bare neck calmed him. He gazed down one last time and closed his eyes. His shoes and socks lay neatly on the ledge beside him. Carefully, he held his arms out perpendicular to his body. His legs felt stiff below him. He whispered to noone in particular "I love you all" and leaned forward heavily, feeling his body begin to topple over. He pushed off hard with his toes, spread his wings and glided off into the horizon.
