out the window and across the street is another building nearly identical with a window that's open at the same height. You are given the task to walk from one window to the other. You are assured that everything is fine all you have to do is step out!

Some people deal with hard challenges like this, conflict is huge and the penalty for resistance is beyond imagination.

Don't worry. If you happen to fall off, go real limp. Cause then you'll look like a dummy. And someone will try to catch you, because, hey, free dummy.

Exactly what I was thinking.

This doesnt sound like a holy place though so Im pretty sure your belief in God isnt going to save your ass this time around.

I dunno about the walking thing, but does anyone else have that strange desire to just jump from those heights just to see what it feels like?

Streets are at least 60' wide right of way...

So you are assured you will levitate to the open window or jump.

Mind over matter, if you don't mind, it don't matter...
