He stood there,

looking out on the water.

Wishing he could start over.

His girlfriend is

pregnant,

has HIV

His family is

getting ready

to move to

Colorado.

He knows

the consequences

of his decisions.

But he makes

them anyway.

He choose this

spot because of

the beauty.

Hands shaking

he puts the gun

to his head.

Memories flash before

his eyes.

And he pulls

the trigger.

Falling into the

water.
