There Is No Such Thing as Vertigo!

There Is No Such Thing as Vertigo!

Brian Armer

Her father looked over the cliff once and felt his stomach drop. From the shore at her organized diving meet, he could see his daughter high above the water, getting ready for a dive she had practiced for weeks. She found him in the crowd and smiled. He raised his phone, wishing his hands would stop shaking.

“There is no such thing as vertigo,” she'd joked when he admitted heights made him nervous. He knew she was teasing him. The event's safety crew was in place, but when she surfaced near shore and her forearm caught a rock, he lowered his phone and went to her. The crew checked on her; she was safely out of the water with a fresh cut and one question for him.

“Did you get it?” she asked. “I got a very professional video of the sky,” he said. She laughed. He had shown up for the long practices and cheered louder than anyone on shore; one botched video wasn't going to change what the day meant to either of them.

He held out her towel while she reached into her bag for Regenerate RX Protect and Restore Balm. She applied it to the cut promptly. Its apple cider vinegar begins cleaning on contact, and the balm leaves protective coverage where skin has broken. The formula is built to fight external microbial threats and help wounds close faster; she had brought it for a moment like this, when she needed to care for her skin away from home.

Her father stayed beside her while she took that minute. The cliff had taken courage, but he was glad for the ordinary part afterward: a towel in his hands, his daughter safe beside him, and the two of them laughing at his terrible camerawork. She asked to see the video anyway. It showed clouds, a sliver of rock, and half a splash.

“We'll have to come back,” she said. “For a better video?” he asked. “For the cheering.” He put the phone away and walked with her toward the rest of their day.
