Istoodattheedgeofthecliff(悬崖).Dark-featheredbirdscircle...

I stood at the edge of the cliff (悬崖). Dark-feathered birds circled the air, diving low over the ocean every now and then to catch their dinner. Below me, hundreds of feet below, the deep ocean beat against the rough sandy shore. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with expectation and excitement—and at the same time, fear.

I was here for the shooting of a movie as I was one of the lead actors in the film Dangerous Things, and this was the most important scene right in the middle of it. It was vital that this went right.

The director had talked to me about getting a stunt double (替身), but I’d persuaded him that I could handle the dive. I’d taken a diving course a few years before, and I’d been taking swimming lessons since I was five years old. I had been pretty confident that I could do this—up till now.

Someone called out, “Keira, you don’t have to do this! Are you sure you want to dive?” It was one of the producers, Callie Evans. I knew she meant well, but deep in my heart I knew I couldn’t turn back now. I couldn’t bear to see the disappointed look on the director’s face when he was told that I couldn’t do it.

At that moment, all my fears and worries broke free. I dived downwards. The air on either side of me cut into my extended arms. I knew that this wonderful feeling of flight would only last a few seconds, yet time seemed to slow down. I could hear the thrilled screams of my crew and a burst of applause (鼓掌) that seemed to echo in my ears.
