Definitely like the last one best. More plot.

Hard choice, but I like the first one the best.

Definitely number three because we take the story on ourselves to imagine the scenario.

All three are great but I think I love the last one best. As a middle aged women who is always trying something new and exciting.
Great work with the words.

Middle one, definitely. There's something about the ground rushing up to meet him that I like *grin*
