Oh The Humanity

Came home tonight from a bike ride to find all kinds of police on my street. It's a strange sight in a country that forbids firearms to see men walking on the street with guns. As I approached my apartment i then saw the reason they had all gathered. A man in the apartment across from mine had decided to take his own life and had jumped from the top floor of the apartment building 7 stories up. He was still laying there as it seemed to have happened recently. It was a gruesome sight. His face had burst open and he laid in a pool of his own blood. His body was completely contorted and his legs seemed to face the opposite direction and his feet faced backward. The fact that i had just eaten McDonalds made matters worse. I thought i was going to throw up then and there. As they reached down to pull him onto the stretcher the sight actually got worse. I could not believe my eyes and ears. Unfortunately the poor mans attempt had failed. He was still alive. He began to gargle, weakly choking on his own blood as his collapsed lungs instinctively struggled for breath. I spoke to the neighbors and they knew only what I saw. That he jumped. They did not know why except for the reason to end his life. I had never seen such a sight up close and personal before. I hope i never have to see it again. Sorry for sharing this with you all now. I just had no one to tell so my only outlet was to express my feelings through my blog.
