what is life like beyond the valet ropes

what is the scene behind the display

paid to walk into darkness

only to be consumed with blinding light

how can I reach redline

where is the door that leads inside the exhibit
"Shore Dreams" by Sarin Sunday: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eolOjV…

I've always been fascinated by the folks who are truly on the cutting edge. 

Because for those exceedingly rare few, who are brilliant enough and badass enough, to do what they do...how do I say it...

It isn't like working at Slurpy-Hut...you have been trained and prepared, but you are "outside" of the normal realm of life. Because no one else ever did what some of these guys have done. Someone had to be the first to successfully break the sound barrier (Chuck Yeager in 1947), someone had to go into space first (Yuri Gagarin in 1961), and be the first person to reach the South Pole (Roald Amundsen in 1911) and the first man on the moon (Neil Armstrong in 1969).

This made me smile because your piece is, as always, fantastic. But it was the idea of all of these brave people and their "firsts" and how they must have felt that really got me. They, the people who do these formerly impossible things, are some of the exceedingly rare few to ever say, "hey y'all, watch this" and not only live to tell the tale, but to also have quite a tale to tell.
