Better then fishing
“What are you doing? Get down this instance” The man shouted.
Great they would not let you live and they would not let you die.
“Get lost who ever you are” I shouted back at a figure beneath me.
“Think of what you are doing? This life is a precious gift doesn’t waste it!” The man shouted back with urging in his voice.
Holy crap! Not this shit. I looked at my digital watch the light was still functional. Had to be it was the latest version of the watch. It was 3:00 am. I wonder what the moron was doing here. I was contemplating suicide, what was his sorry excuse.
“Hey man, please save your bullshit about life and stuff. I have taken a lot of efforts to get up here, now the only easy way down is on the other side in water!”
“No this is wrong. Give me a chance I can make you realize the grave mistake you are about to make. I am coming up.” The man said and started to climb the cliff
That was amazing the fool actually was coming up to reason with me. Such humanity and kindness was rare. Well I did not prefer a lecture and a headache before I depart this life, so I prepared to jump in the abyss of death.
“Please give me a chance” The man begged again.
Damn I cursed. Oh hell, what was there to lose? I sat down on the jagged ground. It was a beautiful morning the moon was unblemished and shinning. Cold breeze was blowing in. I knew the water must have been nice and cold below. But this guy showed up and ruined the whole mood.
“Wow beautiful atmosphere isn’t it? Perhaps it would be wise if you move a little from the edge”
I looked at the man. The guy was middle aged and had a middling body. And he had specs on! This was one dude who was prepared to give me a lengthy sermon.
“Oh come on dude. I am going to jump and end my life. You wasted your time getting up here. And I swear if you take one more step toward me I’m off the cliff” The man was advancing towards me but froze the moment as he saw me launching myself to jump.
“Ok ….ok relax”
The man froze where he was. A look on uneasiness flushed over his face. I felt sorry for the old cow.
“You don’t look so old, why are you doing this?” The man inquired.
“What can I say? Life’s a bitch.” I retorted. The man was taken aback by that statement. Old fool wanted an enchanted tale out of me.
“What the hell are you doing here at this time? Don’t you have better things to do then to roam around and spoil suicide fun?” I smiled a little.
“Had a fight with wife and the argument carried on and on, so I took the car and left to enjoy the beauty nature has to offer.” The man smiled and looked at me cautiously. I’ve moved my self closer to the edge. Even with the moon shining I could not see the bottom. This was one long ride down to hell.
“Had a fight with wife? Ehh...I think you should jump with me then. All these families’ disputes will devastate you; better kill yourself now with your own will. I tried to reason with the silly man.
“Oh no...It’s a normal thingy. I love my wife. We have two beautiful children. Sara’s eight and John is five. They are such gorgeous kids. I bet life must have offered you a lot of beautiful relation ship too?”
Hmm. Good point, thought hard about it. Was born in an orphanage, nobody really liked me. Had a wife but she disappeared with dude I thought was my best friend. That was all the love and relations I’ve had in the twenty three years I’ve breathe on this lousy planet.
I got up to my feet. The man took few quick steps toward me.
“Hey I am warning you! I said I would jump!” I shouted and wiped the dust off my cloths. The man was too jumpy.
“Ok .Ok I thought you were going for it” The man sighed and stood where he was.
A moment of awkward silence passed between us. The man was thinking hard how to convince me not to jump and I was thinking too. The guy was right why I should kill myself. But then it hit me life’s a bitch and all.
“Hey I did not get your name?” The man finally said it.
“I’m Jim” I smiled sadly and gave the guy the looks only a suicidal can. I jumped.
The man was quick for his age. He ran and threw himself at me. His hands caught mine and he held me as I tangle below.
“I won’t allow this. You have your whole life ahead of you. You will marry and get a wife and beautiful kids like I have.” The man tried to pull me up.
Damn, the guy was sentimental. A look of uneasiness crept over his face as he dragged me up. He was smaller then me and weak. Maybe he saw it in my eyes. Or may be he was smart. There was no way a feeble guy like him pulls and drags the guy like me. He figured the riddle out a little too late.
“Please I’ve got wife and….”
I pulled the man hard. He tried to resist. But went flying of the edge……..
“Noooooooooooooo!” The man shouted
“Yes!” I cried happily. I saw the man going down hard and fast. He was waving his hands in air. I could hear his yelp and feel his tears. He hit the water down below and his screams died with him.
I laughed out aloud. What fun this was the fourth guy I took out in a week!
This was definetly better than fishing!
