GIVE ME A REASON TO LIVE TOMORROW
Jorge Luis walks down the street rushed, tired of life, every time you pass someone on the side of the crashes, now you do not care if a man woman or child, after all do not want this world, not to inhabit more.
A year ago I walked ten blocks north of where at the time, took a shortcut, when suddenly three people came out of nowhere, took him by surprise and beat him, again and again, even when he fell down gave him kicking, ripped a chain, his watch and took his wallet, he could barely get home ... his anger was real pain.
Now remember this: go home, that does not comfort you, nothing he does, is to cross a street, which is a car must stop without warning, the driver yells something, no matter it is, keep walking.
nine months ago, I was entertained with good cheer, and have not forgotten the beating he received from thieves, while he was crossing the street, a van sped the result: three days of life lost, was waking in the hospital, where he remained for a pathetic month, a pain in the ribs that sometimes appears but still hidden, not to inspire pity, drunkards trampled it never appeared.
this to get home, you can only think to lock herself in her room key, volume up a bit of TV you should be having something stupid, and avoid listening to the voices of his family.
six months ago was under much pressure, his mother too, she cried and she slapped him, two months without talking, even now barely greet each other, and feels his presence is not comfortable for her mother.
Luis works part time is a little heavy, but still it does, the money never enough, in fact often missing, is now a little tired, and disgusted with himself, as several in recent weeks was in no mood, a friend is upset, he joked, Luis I hit him, that an hour ago.
Even with a lot of work to study, just think if you can sleep tonight, has always been willing to listen to others, always, is important, it makes you feel good, you really help others always makes you feel good, but today did not hear anyone today is not the day.
arrives home and his family do not realize this, go to his room, locks, early evenings, the news ... not your favorite, but not encouraged, or even to change the channel; surprise stop presenting important news for a couple of rumors of his city are serving four years since that incident in which many claimed to see demons flying over the city, said many people see them, even said that a fire occurred that night was caused by them, and that a girl kidnapped her one in a vehicle, saw nothing, it seems ridiculous, this adds to what others said, just three weeks ago, two men with dark coats and long hair fell from the sky fighting, into an alley where disappeared soon after, How convenient! to Luis this is only done for publicity, now expects the football team wins a match and talk about this to hide the real news.
Louis picks up his phone, he wants to talk to her, two months ago, has no clear reason why, but stopped talking
"Answer, please give me a reason to live tomorrow," thought
The phone rings, no answer , he knows he will not, look at a number of statistics, poverty, think of the hostages, the problems, he begins to remember the places we went, in his "L" on the way home, he saw something wrong, he saw hunger, saw sadness, desolation saw people saw problems coming out of the hands of their victims, stands up, angry now, not so bad, just want to be dead. Decided
out, walked away, again without direction, making this night, he left his phone, keys, finally, I was just on, with a strange feeling, their problems against the other, there are a number of images in his head, of things he has seen, contrasting with his own, not so serious, it goes through a factory, it's getting late, many people left work, suddenly the light of some lamps went out.
energy left, only the moonlight you could see, this nervous enough, a woman is walking quickly to his side has great speed, the silhouettes quickly noted stop for a moment he seems to see one near where must go woman, accelerates its leadership in this way, it was the silhouette of a man rapidly approaching women, when this man looks back and is attacking, Luis begins to run.
two years ago, sought to control his anger, he found a definitive form, running for hours, went to appointments with psychologists, yoga and some martial arts, may remember a little of that, now the important thing is to help those women; gets closer and all the anger that had pulled the man knocking him backwards and releasing the woman, while asks
- OK? -
is attacked from behind, then get hit in the stomach, the attacker is not very strong yet, Luis is not very well, and gets another slap in the face, when the attacker is going to take another swing, this feels a stone on his head, has been thrown by the woman; Luis immediately takes strength and strikes the subject, with the first hit takes advantage, a year ago I was alone, and there were three thieves who faced, and now see there in that one thief feel good with every punch you tip, the time made eternal, but not spend even five minutes, the subject flees.
It begins to feel good, then to the woman, laughing
"If I had thrown that stone ... -
" Thanks, "she says
The accompanying, she expressed confidence that inspires Luis, but does not know his name after work, should go see his mother, who was ill, she talks about her family, her father died, his debts and his desperation to get out of work, which is not allowed even be careful where I walked.
energy does not return, fail to distinguish their faces, she also has plans for his future, and if you work the meet, Louis does not speak much, just listening to accompanying him home, finally, it takes leave "Thank
, needed to talk-
"No," said Luis
because "I realize that there are people willing to help and listen to others, I went to work thinking of a reason to be here tomorrow, and now I feel better-
"Thank you, bye-
quickly withdrew, the woman who helped her face not distinguished, nor the face of it, but it's okay, it becomes a feel good, he thinks, in that sentence, he gave hope to a person does not know how, but I did, that phrase is reason to be here tomorrow, a reason to live tomorrow. There are a number of ideas in his head:
"I can not be thinking this,
Upon returning home, knocks on the door, her mother opened the door, goes to his room:" Mom
that good night -
-Alike "said her mother smiling. Today
can sleep peacefully, despite everything that happens can sleep peacefully, before bed check your phone has a message, do not know much of it, the message is too frightening:
"Give me a reason to live tomorrow"
