Paralysis

A parachute unfolds, like a paradigm does. And if you unfurl it high enough, you will drift with some measure of control towards the place you want. On landing, remember to fall correctly on your side, and try to avoid breaking your ankle. Newton is not mocked.

Look around you. It is a field near a woods. Bury the green silk of your parachute; you do not need it any longer. If you can scent the heady smell of the hay and the burning of a log fire, be very cautious. Blend into the treeline.

And wait, watching for alarums and excursions.

i don't understand why your title for this entry is 'paralysis'... there's so much action and preparation for more action here...

'Paralysis' means 'to break down alongside'. :)
