DAVID: NEXT TIME I SEE RYAN, I’M GONNA KILL HIM THAT GUY TOOK THE EASY WAY OUT.

 

DAVID DECIDES TO GO FOR A WALK AND DID NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT HE HAD NO ACTIONS IN SOMETHING HE DIDN’T DO. ALONG THE WAY IN HIS WALK, HE HAD A THOUGHT WHICH DIDN’T STOP LEAVING HIS MIND, THE FACT THAT HIS MOTHER DID NOT LISTEN TO HIM.

 

-SHORT PAUSE-

 

A BEGGER THEN COMES ALONG THE WAY AND ASKS FOR SPARE CHANGE.

 

BEGGER: EXCUSE ME SIR, HAVE YOU GOT ANY CHANGE.

DAVID DID NOT HAVE MUCH MONEY, HIS PARENT DID NOT LEND HIM ANY MONEY EITHER.

 

DAVID: (SHOUTS) YOU HEARD ME THE FIRST TIME, WERE BOTH SEEN IN THE SAME POSITION!

 

DAVID THEN SEES A BRIDGE AND DECIDES TO STAND ON IT FOR FIVE MINUTES ALL ALONE. THE BEGGER DECIDES TO FOLLOW HIM AND SEES WHERE HE ENDS UP.

 

DAVID: THIS WORLD IS VERY CRUEL (TO HIMSELF)

 

• SHORT PAUSE –

 

 

5 MINUTES LATER, THE BEGGER COMES ALONG.

 

BEGGER: EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU ALRIGHT.

 

DAVID SEES THAT SOMEONE HAS CAUGHT HIS ATTENTION AND DECIDES TO WEEP.

 

DAVID: I GOT NOTHING LEFT, MY FAMILY, MY WEALTH, THIS IS THE ONLY OPTION I GOT.

 

BEGGER: LISTEN MAN, I KNOW YOU MAY SEE ME AS A STRANGER BUT I HAVE BEEN HOMELESS FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS. I CAN’T SEEM TO FIND A JOB AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY IS IN A BETTER PLACE, NOT ONCE HAVE I THOUGHT OF MAKING THIS DECISION YOU WOULD BE MAKIG RIGHT NOW BECAUSE LIFE IS TOO PRECIOUS TO BE LOST. YOUR VERY YOUNG TOO, MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE.
