Ending

Jeremy, the cop, was not ready to lose another person to death. He had studied criminology and psychology and he knew that he was capable of convincing anyone to do what he wanted. Nevertheless he was aware that he had not been able to be successful with the last few people he had tried to convince not to commit suicide, and that was exactly why his coworkers did not take him seriously, but what could he do? It was clear that this man was not going to be easily convinced.

Jeremy went back to the window and put his head out in order to be able to see the man properly once again. The sun was shining and there were no clouds on the sky, you could even hear birds singing happily around them. For Jeremy, that would have been the perfect day to go for a walk with the family or practicing sports… He believed that all this was very ironic as nobody would imagine that during that beautiful day, someone would be trying to commit suicide.  The cop laid his eyes back to the unlucky man and that is when he realized that the man was directly staring at the crowd which was encouraging him to jump.

-What the hell is wrong with these people? The cop thought to himself. What kind of disgusting creature emboldens someone who is about to ruin his life?
Abruptly he saw a sudden move and afraid that he was about to jump, without losing any time he told the man:

-“Ok, let´s do something, you tell me why you are here and then you can do whatever you want. I won´t keep you off from your destiny. Now tell me”, he asked him anxiously.
-“I know what you are trying to do cop. You only want to safe your dam job, that is why you are trying to help me! You don’t really care about me so don’t dare getting near me or I will jump!” the suicide shouted angrily.

-“Actually you are right”, said Jeremy with an arrogant tone. “I don’t really care why you are here and hey, I don’t even care if you jump either, but you know what? Nobody cares about anyone else, nowadays, people just think of themselves, so accept it and stop losing my time”.

Jeremy was about to go back into the hotel room and abandon the man to his fate when he realized that he was trying to sit down. Jeremy went back to his original position and just when he looked at the suicide, the guy started to talk.

-“My name is Ray and I was about to marry the most beautiful woman in this city. She was intelligent, timid… she was hilarious!”

Suddenly, Ray started crying uncontrollably. It seemed as if he was about to have a heart attack and obviously Jeremy was scared that he was going to fall due to this reaction so he encourage him to try and continue speaking by touching the back of his shoulder.

-“My wife has abandoned me. I won´t be able to get her back. She was perfect… Now I won´t be able to have a family and I will have to live on my own for the rest of my life. Cop, I don’t think it is worth living without having her in my life. She is my angel!” Ray cried loudly.

Jeremy did not know what to say as he knew how the man felt. Actually he had lived a similar situation a few years earlier as his wife had left him too. Suddenly he felt he wasn’t strong enough to help the poor man. How am I going to aid this man, if I wasn’t able to fix my relationship either? He thought to himself.

He was about to leave again when a big bird appeared form nowhere and landed next to Ray. It was a very big bird, we could even say that it was approximately 1 meter long. This creature, was extremely colorful and although it was hard to believe, it had colors going from dull grays and browns to brilliant reds, yellows, greens, and blues. It had a straight and short, brown beak and a pair of enormous, black eyes which if you looked carefully, transmitted peace.

Jeremy was completely flabbergasted when he saw the beauty of the bird. He had never seen such animal in his whole life, which was incredible as he was an animal lover and he knew in great detail most of the animals in the whole world. He was so abstracted on what he had seen, that he did not realize that the bird had turned into an exquisite woman. She was very tall and slim and had dark, black, straight hair and the same enigmatic eyes the bird had had previously. Jeremy saw her look directly into Ray´s eyes and after what seemed hours, both the women and Ray turned into suddenly into birds as if they were cocoons tuning into butterflies. The rose to the sky at the same time and left the place flying and moving away; flapping their wings towards the hazy horizon.
