Kevin Haggerty - #1 Worth It?

Collapsed beneath the steel frame-work, looking up through the tower that will one day be, he is struck by the similarity of this moment.  So many years ago he had witnessed this experience as a child staring up through the jungle gym, straining to keep his eyes open as the sun shone day from overhead.  He had giggled then, ignoring the pain reverberating through his skull as the swelling began.  All he could feel now was the chill in his spine as the warmth seeped through his hair.  He knew he shouldn’t have tried to climb it, but he just wanted to feel that separation from it all again, crossing between the bounds of the city and the sky.  He giggled one last time.
