What would
you do if you get fire on job? And what if your wife cheated on you? But, what
if both of them happens at the same time, and you don’t even have any family to
support you? This is the problem that I have. With no job and no wife, I
decided to go to the Harbury Hotel and end my life, because now I’m not only
alone, I’m also broke. But, why jumping from the highest floor of the hotel? Why
not empoison myself, or run into the next train I see?
Well, it's easy. I’ve never
had any family, any love. And as far as I can see, the only love I ever had
was a lie. Everything was a lie.
So here I
am, waiting to the best moment to jump, where there are more people to see it.
To make her realize how bad she has done. Even a police officer tried to
convince me not to do it, but I will, sooner or later.
The more I
see below me, the more people there are. Even television cameras have come. Now
it’s the moment, I jump.
During the
fall, all my life passed in front on my eyes, since I was little, in the
orphanage, mi childhood years, my most precious memories and my worst too, the
moment I got fired, when she confessed me to be cheating on me. Everything.
Then, just the moment before impact with the pavement, the brightest of the
lights appeared, it wasn’t even human.
Two seconds
after, I was standing on my feet. Was I dead? The room where I was was
completely black and white. Like a futuristic movie, filled with strange
computers and colour lights. A man in black was standing right next to me, he
was wearing a helmet and a cloak. Black too. I only heard the sound of his
breathing, like if he was suffering from asthma.
Then, he
raised his head, looked at me, and said: “I am your father.”
