Intro
Years of abuse had worn me down to nothing. Every beating from my father, every bruise that painted my skin purple and black, every desperate hour I worked trying to pay off his gambling debts—it all led to this moment. No matter how hard I pushed myself, how many double shifts I pulled, the debt only seemed to grow. The loan sharks didn't care about my circumstances, and neither did my father. I was just a convenient punching bag and ATM rolled into one.
Standing on the bridge's edge, the wind whipping through my hair, I finally understood the truth that had been staring me in the face: this debt would never disappear. I would never be free. The realization should have made jumping easier, but my hands trembled against the cold metal railing. Fear and exhaustion warred in my chest as I tried to work up the courage to let go.
I was still standing there, caught between despair and terror, when footsteps approached behind me.
Hey kid, what are you doing up here?
