A lifeless corpse of the stranger
was slowly swinging under the old bridge. The tight rope used for the special twisting noose had squeezed the neck of a young man who was supposed to commit a suicide.
The rotten smell was getting stronger and come from dead body. Nevertheless the police officer, covering nose with napkin, came closer to examine it. The day before yesterday he got a report from the fishermen who had mentioned an expensive car and body. So they asked for investigation.
A crowd of curious passers-by circled this awful place. They expressed open-hearted compassion and an enormous interest about dead person. They asked «What had happened to this young boy before he committed the suicide ?».
A spring day gifted the sunshine that lighted the blue face and it penetrated in the deep abyss of grey eyes which deadly call someone to solve their story and then close them forever. The dead man was wearing in a brown, old-fashioned classical sweater and black shirts. His silver-hair was accurately brushed back in a good way... But a wrinkled blue face looked tired and depressive.
He was probably ready to face the death. The police officer worn medical gloves and sharply lifted up the sleeve of the sweater and noticed the injection sites that appeared to be on the right hand. «Maybe not, but he's a former junkie and a former car thief», thought the policeman. Then he went around the area and near the car in the thorn bush found the crutch.
The police officer came to dead man and closed the eyes since all things had a way of coming out. This young man was sentenced to the jail. The policeman got the announcement that Jim Peterson stole a car and broke out of prison during his transfer to a maximum-security facility week ago.
Police man hardly was holding back tears because he knew a painful truth. Jim was not a bad guy but only one thing really spoiled his life – fate. After the terrible car accident he lost a family: be - loved wife which made him really the happiest person in the whole world. Then he had to consume drugs to relief a pain in the crashed leg and in a 1 year became an addicted animal who converted into psyche murder. Jim was just trapped in some unbearable circumstance that he couldn’t get out of and a wheel of troubles absorbed him entirely.
