saving the day


A group of lads were walking on a dusty track , away from the urban noise . They were through from all of whatever they might do to spend their times there in their dying full of epidemics city . Hot summer day , humid climate . There is nothing to do to have some fun , that's what is controling their minds , to look for a new experience of joy . No more enthusiam in the joysticks of PSP , boring company in cinemas , same movies and talk shows on TV , same girls with their tiny horizons and plastic bodies , same restaurants and cafe's , same vegtable meals at home , same devices , iPhones , iPads , and there's no money left ...
They've left their cars , because one of them found himself sick of this life and he would do anything to just get out of this city , this land of no hope . So they followed him , not because they care for him, but just for a change , they thought , let's go to the nature , maybe they'll find a wild horse that they could try and tame . Or a wild bear that could kill them and that would be a relief from all of this bordum ! 




As he moved forward , and the rest of them were messing around , one singing beside one tree jumping to another , other had plugged in his headphones and started to watch a scene on youtube ... He just moved , cursing the day his mother bgave birth to him and let him put his feet on this earth .
He walked on a rocky hill , and after some minutes he heard splashing water , he kept walking till he found a waterfall between the rocks , and down that hill there was this lake that none of them knew of it before . 

 
 It was deep and dangerous , he stood on the cliff and glanced to the water .
He was a writer in some magazine  , he used to write about life issues , new daily thoughts , till all of his ideas came to a blocked end . He hated this job of low salary , hated his workplace that is 3.5 kilometers away from home , hated his coworkers , and most importantly hated this dull city with it's street children,
 carts pulled by donkeys  , beggars show up every 10 minutes beside a bus stop or a metro station ...he hated his noisy neighbours  when they usually quarell and make a fuss in the whole building .






 One of his mates grabbed his arm and asked him what he was doing . 
- " thinking ..."
- " of jumping ? haha ! " , his mate joked . 
-" mmm ..." 
-" hey i was joking ! Don't do that , you might hurt yourself , and maybe die . " 
He looked at the waterfall underneath the cliff .
- "  yeah . "
He moved away his arm from his mate's hand , and his mate shouted at him this time warning . 
- " Hey , it's just a jump ! I am not gonna die , it's not that dangerous , i just want to take a  i just want to take a dive down there , it's hot anyway ...  I am out of thoughts , and my job is at stake , i am going down there , maybe if i leap from here to there , i'd be struck by a dreadful feeling that would inspire me , maybe if i sunk in this lake i'd be brainwashed from everything i saw in this city , and be inspired by the countless bubbles of oxygen that i will seek after to gain extra seconds of life before i can reach the air again . Maybe if i stayed for few minutes under water i'll know another meaning of life to write about , different from this place we are stucked in , and save my job ! And maybe ..maybe i'll die if i drown or hit a rock , i don't know if it will be worth regretting , but you my friend , can tell the people about someone who just wanted to jump off the hill just to have a new experience he can write about to save his day . “
