He woke up every morning and went to a job that he hated. Bradley always thought about his life and understood that he must change something because his life was not ideal. He wanted changes. But this wish was just a thought. He was aware of this but nevertheless every day he woke up and went on a hated job.
That day these thoughts subsided because the world gave him a chance to understand what really problems are. As usual he was driving in the subway, listened to music and looked at other people. Headphones sounded “The Beatles” and “Radiohead”. His mood could not be described in words. He felt like a human who torn between anger and sadness. Tears welled up in his eyes and at the same time he wanted to beat the dishes and scream at the whole surrounding world.
Bradley looked at the people and hated them. He saw only sadness in grey colors and hatred in red. He saw all flaws on the little girl who was sitting opposite: a big nose, lowered eyes, rare hair and a terrible pink dress that gave the girl an even more chubby appearance. He looked at young people who were smiling, talking. Occasionally they were hugging and kissing. At that moments Bradley wanted to open the door and throw they down. He didn`t feel a pity to others.
Music in headphones changed and Bradley took the phone to make music more sad. Suddenly he saw that somebody wrote him a message. His hands began to sweat and shake. He was waiting for this message in the morning and was afraid that it was a mistake and the letter came from another person. The world ceased to exist for Bradley. When he saw that this is an expected message, his panic intensified. He was afraid to unlock the phone and read it. For two minutes he just looked at the screen and could not control himself. At last he was able to gather his thoughts and open the message.
The message contained this text: “Dear, your experiences were in vain: soon I will return home”. The message was from his mother. Her operation in Germany was successful.
Bradley ceased to control his body. The feelings left him. He dropped the phone to his knees and did not even try to lift it. He covered his face with his hands and tried to hide tears of happiness, but attempts were in vain. He thought only about his mother, his alive mother.
Five minutes later he took control of himself and returned to this world. Bradley saw people in the subway and smiled at them with tears in his eyes. The little girl in beautiful purple dress laughed and dimples on her cheeks were the embodiment of happiness. Her blue eyes gave a sight that radiated warmth and tranquility.
Young people getting ready to get off the subway. They held hands tightly and just looked at each other. Their handshake was associated with some kind of unknown force that one person can give to another. On this little thing it was impossible not to pay attention. At that moment Bradley was realizing the importance of having a loving person close to him. This connection gives a person strength through which we can wake up every day to hateful work. He looked at a big grey sweater on that young girl and immediately remembered about his mother home. In Bradley`s head there appeared pictures from his childhood: when he and his mother were drinking warm tea by the fireplace and reading books with pictures. That was the best time in his life.
Bradley tried to remember what he felt a few minutes ago. But it was impossible. That was other Bradley. He was ashamed of what he thought about others. He again returned to his thoughts about his mother and they did not leave him all day.
Bradley was really happy. He couldn`t saw negative things around him.
