This choice: "I'll try and climb her, get her attention, and uh, you three stay here." • Go Back...Chapter #5Leap of Faith by: Frost   Although climbing the thrashing giant definitely was not the brightest decision at the moment, the sudden burst of stress, panic, and Wendy's preexisting anxiety severely clouded the shrunken sixteen year old's judgment.
