He held the camera up high enough to show the full height of it. ‘Click’, ‘click’, and another ‘click’; just to make sure he had fully captured the moment. He spent a couple of minutes choosing the best one to send.

He was posting his great achievement online when it happened. It was only a brief gust of wind that did it. He was now laying on his back at the foot of the tower, completely unable to move. He was thinking about what damage he may have done to his body when the first ‘ping’ came. He was lying on his phone, unable to get to it, but he recognised the chime. It was a ‘like’.
