Leaper Over Lines

Bold, dark, and menacing, the line was just daring somebody to cross it. It kept her frozen, solitary in her own personal icecap. Then came the fire, first being curiosity. Who was the child who dances near the line at edge of her kingdom? What was a child, who should have never been able to see this place, doing here? Leaper, the other members of her court had called her the leaper. All insanity to stop, if only for a moment, to observe the leap. The guard, the ghoul, even the cruel old gatekeeper, all waxing poetic about the leaper. Final, the leaper plunged, and the kingdom of Crazy cheered as the child joined the fun. Lighter than air, and barely there the leaper sold her soul. A man in a black cap, who eyes so fiery red, put visions of passion into the now teen leaper's head. Lindi she was so called, her and that man, together they grew old and bald. When the ray of sun shined down, the leaper, even in her ancient age, still jumped around. The leaper even the angels in heaven did say. once to see god, and down to hell the next day. Again she switch so effortlessly, God and her husband she often took turns to see. It wasn't until one day she sprang too short, and then earth she was there to distort. Our story here is the end, because the leaper is turning the entire earth to bend.

My friends and I are all very strange, so I have imagined these social lines that we jump over. The inspiration from this came from the wonderful Nina, who is always challenging me to leap a little farther.
