Gravity Part 3

I fealt objective. I fealt detached... and defeated. At the same time I couldn't feel anything at all. I just gazed at my cold, dead wife. How could she do this to me? To us? All those years... all those memories...

I contemplated a course of action... this took a considerable amount of time. I found a solution though. It started with calling the police. I told them what happened. They told me to stay where I was and that they would be here soon. I said "ok". After I hung up the phone I walked to the kitchen. There was a 40 ounce bottle of rye that Hellen and I had recieved as a wedding gift. We had been saving it for a special occasion... I popped it open and drank a quarter of it in one go. Wiped my lips with the cuff of my shirt and made my way to the balcony. I polished off the rest of the bottle out there in the cool spring breeze. It was overcast outside with a 90% chance of alcohal poisoning. I leaned on the rail and looked down. I could barely make out the emergancy vehicles and flashing lights. They would be at my door very soon. I fealt out of my mind and body... the world was spinning. I barely managed to climb onto the railing. I spoke aloud "my poor lovely wife, I will be with you soon".

That's when I leapt from the 22nd story and left my fate to gravity.
