Good or bad is just a life choice. Short stories, society, life, telling stories

The gentle breeze of the evening carries the scent of the large river below and hits the tip of your nose. Effectively extinguishes anxiety in the mind. Breaking the momentary hesitation caused by the height of the bridge and the rapids of the current in front of us He took off his glasses and took a deep breath. Make a firm decision not to back down.

No matter how frightening the thing in front of you is It was less than the chaos that awaited him.

'Living or dying has the same value'

Phadon mused as he gripped the railing with both trembling hands. He closed his eyes, hoping to just let his body fall down below. The currents carry away the harshness of life. Whether the next life is real or not, he cannot know. But the road in this life he could no longer bear.

“It should hurt.”

A man's deep voice blurted behind him. Phadon's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly opened his eyes to look. He found that in just a moment his body would fall over the edge. He gulped as fear hit him once more, causing him to blame the person who had interrupted him behind him. Even so, Phadon remained silent. Didn't turn to look or speak.

“It is several tens of meters tall. Plus the wind is still this strong. I fell down and didn't find any water. It should have been blown by the wind and hit the bridge pillar first.”

“What are you saying?”

Finally, Phadon couldn't stand the annoyance of the man behind him. He turned to look at the matter. But instead, he had to frown in surprise.

man in front of him At first glance, they are no different from other people in their third year of age. But he was dressed in an all black suit, even the shirt underneath. Neat from head to toe Combined with smoothly combed hair that is shiny and shiny, it looks like she's getting ready to go to a club night. It seemed strange to Phadon. The man in question had a smile on his lips.

“I'm telling the truth. You chose to jump here like you were torturing yourself too much. I think if you jump a little further from the pole, you'll probably hit the water first, but since it's this high, it's like hitting cement anyway. Luckily, he was so hurt that he passed out before drowning. It's a bit of bad luck, it's probably going to hurt as well, choking on water will hurt twice as much, but after calculating it, the results are the same.

Would you like to try jumping over there?”

A man in a black suit pointed out a location that he thought would be less painful. But because Phadon was interrupted in the middle of the road All the courage I had gathered disappeared. He made an expression of displeasure at the mysterious person.

"nerve!"

He scolded the man in a black suit and quickly walked away. But he still couldn't lift his leg to take a full step. The sound of clashing metal stopped his breathing for a moment.

'Crom!'

"Hoy!"

Phadon barely managed to dodge an object that was coming towards him until he fell backwards and sat down. He groaned in his throat as he looked at the scene in front of him. Suddenly, it was as if his breathing had stopped for a moment. Just seeing the body of a human being slumped and still. The neck is distorted and unnatural. The eyes in the helmet were still wide open as if shocked and looking in his direction. Phadon gasped. When he regained his composure, he saw a group of people running towards him.

"Is something wrong, sir? Hold on, rescuers are coming."

"I...I'm fine. I'm just in shock. Please take a look at the injured person first."

Phadon said as he hurriedly scrambled to sit up. The woman who asked about his condition turned her attention to the horrifying scene in front of her instead. a few moments The whistles of ambulances and rescue workers were loud and the traffic was clogged. People gathered along the bridge in chaos. Phadon saw them use a white cloth to wrap the motorcyclist up and get in the car.

My brain suddenly thought of those wide-open eyes. His legs were shaking and he had to squat down again. Having been born into this world for 31 years, I have never encountered a situation like this before.

“What do you say? It's too chaotic here. Can't jump off a bridge I think I'll change the place. The bridge ahead was a few kilometers away. It's a lot calmer.”

Suddenly, a man in a black suit appeared and squatted down. speaking on the side Phadon turned and stared at that temptation.

"You must be nervous. Let's jump in alone."

Phadon hurriedly scrambled to his feet and walked away until he almost ran. Before he knew it, he hailed a taxi at the semi of the bridge and went up to sit in the cool air conditioning. I suppressed my own apprehensive feelings. The young man let out a long sigh. Part of me was angry at the man in the black suit who had suddenly appeared and interrupted me. Another thought of an unexpected accident that happened in just the blink of an eye.

“The accident caused a long traffic jam, sir.”

Taxi driver makes conversation Phadon only nodded in response. He didn't want to say anything yet.

“When I saw it, it was scary. On the road is very dangerous. Just a little carelessness and you will go to heaven without saying goodbye. Death doesn't really choose gender or age or stage of life. When the time comes, everyone must go. It's just going to be slow or fast. There's no need to push it.”

"yes..."

Phadon only accepted the word. I recalled myself with the lingering image of the unfortunate man who seemed panicked and not ready to leave this world. But then the phone rang. Phadon hurriedly picked it up and looked at it. He couldn't even cry. A lump in my throat at once.

All kinds of slanderous accusations against co-workers spread all over the internet. Everyone sends sarcastic messages to him without caring whether it's right or wrong. Worse, the workplace even fired him mid-air with only 3 months' pay in advance as compensation because they believed those rumors to be true.

I went to apply for a new job and my previous company put eggs on my resume to the point where the new job wouldn't accept me. He has no income to pay for the condominium installment. It's not even for daily use. If the family found out, they would say he was a loser. But who knew he had endured for so long? Nothing good came back. It feels like this world has no place left for him to stand.

Can't turn to rely on anyone. There are only repeat people who fill it all up. Those things came at him until he couldn't bear it. Phadon walked weakly towards the kitchen. Grab all kinds of medicine bottles and pour them into glasses. Please just swallow this whole thing down. Various bad stories will pass

“It seems like those medicines are acting too slowly.”

A familiar voice sounded behind him. This made Phadon startled and hurriedly turned to look. He found that a man in a black suit was standing no more than two steps away and was leaning over his shoulder, looking at the medicine in his glass with interest. Ignoring his shocked expression

“How did you get in?!”

“You forgot to lock the door. Wait, let me see which medicine makes you fall asleep quickly. This will prevent you from suffering when other medicines bite holes in your stomach. It stings worse than drinking boiling water.”

The man in the black suit was not impressed by the owner of the room's expression. Moreover, he also helped dismantle the jars of common household medicines. He just stood there, puzzled. Coming to his senses, he hurriedly walked towards the door of the room. Found that it wasn't really locked.

“Why did you follow me?! Or...did you mean to rob me?"

“Huh...your logic is completely flawed. It's too stressful. Try this."

A man in a black suit handed over a jar of sleeping pills, containing more than 50 pills. Phadon raised his eyebrows because he remembered that he had never bought this kind of medicine.

"It's not my medicine."

“I stopped by and bought it for you. Eat this entire jar. You will sleep for a long time without feeling anything. But during the half-asleep period, it is a bit painful when the stomach is perforated or when the heart contracts violently. But just a moment, no more than 1 minute.”

A man in a black suit shook the jar of sleeping pills in front of him as if urging him to take it. At first Phadon was hesitant. But because he could no longer bear the problems that followed. So he decided to take the medicine jar and hold it. But then the sound of the doorbell outside rang first. He ignored him, but the ringing of the doorbell never stopped. So I had to turn to open the room door. only A man rushed over and shook him violently.

"Call me an ambulance...I'm dying. Please help me. I don't want to die yet."

The roommate next door was shocked. before collapsing into a sitting position, holding his left hand tightly on his chest. Phadon was shocked until he was numb. Forgot to move for a moment. Until the roommate's palm gripped his wrist tightly. He came to his senses. Hurry and pick up the phone and dial the emergency number. While talking on the phone with an official His eyes saw his classmate's face as pale as a sheet of paper. He was breathing heavily and clutching his left chest as if he was afraid his heart would burst out.

“Urgent. He can't stand it anymore. Thank you.”

He hurriedly hung up the phone and nearly ran over to his neighbor.

“Be patient.”

"I...don't want to die yet....I'm getting...married...please help me..."

The roommate next door talks back and forth. The hand held his palm tightly. request help Phadon doesn't know what to do. Only got a pat on the back to comfort him. But a few moments later His neighbor fell silent in his arms.

"you! Stay strong, sir!!”

“Not in time.”

A man in a black suit walked over and stood beside Phadon with his arms crossed. A nonchalant demeanor This made him so angry that he turned around and yelled at him.

“What the hell are you doing standing there? Quickly run to find someone to help! He is already dying.”

“When the time comes Even a hundred elephants can't hold it back. Let's accept it."

A man in a black suit patted Phadon on the shoulder a few times before strolling towards the elevator. Not interested in anything at all He clenched his fists. He looked down at his friend next door, who had put all his body weight on him to catch him. My heart twitched. There's a lump in my throat. If he hadn't just stood there stunned, he would have helped the other party. I don't know how long Phadon sat like that.

When I regained consciousness I found condominium employees running with the emergency medical unit. Lift the neighbor's body onto a stretcher. and helped him to his feet. At that moment, his brain went blank. His eyes followed the dead body of his neighbor. In my head there were only words that I didn't want to die. I thought it was very funny. As he tries to find a way to end his own life

Others had their lives easily taken away. Didn't even have a chance to reflect like he did.

When the chaos ends Phadon returned to sit with his temples in the room again. He looked at the sleeping pill bottle of a man in a black suit nearby. came to hang around Take turns looking at your own cell phone. Finally, he picked up the phone and immediately dialed someone.

“Mom...don't scold me...please listen to me.”

Bhadon poured out everything in his heart while sobbing until he couldn't hear the words all alone.

“Come deliver food.”

Phadon called out to the owner of the food at the door of the house. Soon a woman walked out and greeted her with a smile. When she finished receiving the food So he turned back to his trusty motorcycle and prepared to deliver his next order. The young man raised his head and breathed in the morning air. You can see the clear sky and bright sunlight.

He calculated in his head that today he had more time to receive orders than ever before. There will probably be more income going into your pocket every day.

'Life is not finished, we have to keep struggling'

He mused as he stepped onto his motorcycle. Prepare to start But his eyes caught sight of someone standing with his arms crossed at the door of the house of the person he had come to deliver food to. He focused for a moment and realized it was that mysterious man in a black suit. Phadon thought for a moment. One heart doesn't want to say hello. The other half is still wondering who he really is.

After a moment, I decided to walk in and say hello. The man in the black suit seemed to remember and smiled and greeted him in return.

“Hello, sir. We haven't seen each other for several months. Do you still remember me?”

“I remember.”

A man in a black suit answered while looking into Phadon's eyes without blinking until he felt goosebumps. But this morning he was in a good mood and acted like he didn't care about the little things. He invites you to talk like a friendly person.

“You live around here? I've never seen you before.”

“I work everywhere, independently, depending on which area the order comes from. My work is similar to yours. The only difference is that you come to deliver and I come to pick up.”

"oh..."

Phadon nodded. I guess the man in the black suit is probably a salesman because he dresses dignifiedly like he goes out to evening events all the time. Even though the weather was hot, he still wore a thick suit without a drop of sweat.

“Good, I just want to thank you for greeting me that day. It gave me no opportunity to hurt myself. Even though there are ups and downs right now, I'm slowly trying to find a way to solve the problem. I won't be short-sighted like that again. Since seeing the events of that day, it has made me realize that many people want to live in this world but never get the chance.

Many others had the opportunity to live their life but abandoned it with a fleeting thought.”

“Every decision is yours. I didn't do anything at all. Your life is determined by you. Will you move forward or backward? No one knows this better than you.”

The man in the suit replied, straightening himself. Soon an old man walked out of the next door.

"The time has come. I must excuse myself."

The man in the black suit said as he walked over and wrapped his arms around the old man's shoulders like people who had known each other for a long time. But Phadon felt something strange. It was a feeling that was difficult to explain. As he thought about it, the man in black suddenly turned to look at him.

"See you again, Mr. Phadon. We will definitely meet again..."

The man in black's final words made goosebumps flash at the back of his neck. He looked behind the two of them as they walked until they were out of sight, then he looked up at the sky, shining brightly again, alone.
