#1 How did I get to this?
One sees a person sitting in a rather dark room and consequently he is beginning to speak...
-I...always thought life would be fine for me ...
I really believed it .... too many times ... it had to be that way since many people repeated it to me a lot it was impossible that it was a lie .... right?
-Did you really believe that?
-Yes, that's how it was after my father's accident and his subsequent death, all the "friends" kept telling me the ...
-"everything will be fine" that?
-If that, despite seeing how my life was slowly declining even though it was so obvious that it would end so badly, They kept repeating the same words, at the beginning they had intention but then it was obvious that they began to say it as if it were a saying, An empty saying that you hope the other person will take advantage of but that doesn't really serve as a damn thing but they leave it on a platter, of course, if that saying doesn't meet its supposed "objective" and it turns out that it did not work the person who said it discharges guilt since "he complied with helping you."
-Listening to what you tell me, the people around you are complete shit.
-Yeah...well- Stands up and stretches on tiptoe raising the arms enough.
-See you later, I have a very important appointment with the "Vista tower".
- As soon?
-Yeah
-You should talk to someone real instead of me so I can plan that date first, you know?
- Nah, who if not my reflection to listen to me like he has done these last 2 years?
- Midas that is not completely tru-
-Yes, that's "Our" name, don't wear it out, now, goodbye my old friend- Replied Midas.
-This turned out worse than expected.
After those words one of the walls began to crumble until it showed a way... A ladder.
When Midas climb up it he met his goal "the top of the Vista Tower"
-Well, I didn't come here to think about it much so there I go- Midas thought briefly.
And from that top he jumped out of the building without thinking much about it, without trying to remember something good, trying to end this once and for all and seeing with his eyes clearly the texture of the floor that was waiting for him.
A peculiar sound appeared in his ears... Peep Peep Peep.
-Ah, again that dream... Anyway I will continue with the same thing but I passed what I passed my end will be in the "vista tower" as soon as I have the money to travel there.
The phone rings with the call recognition with the name "Jess" and the above answers.
-Hey, good morning, Jess.
-You have fed me up, I always have to call you to tell you that you are coming to work- Replied the person recognized as Jess.
-Hey, why are you fed up?
-Do you ever plan to take care of yourself?
-As I said I will do as soon as I have the money to go to "Vista Tower" I will be able to take care of myself.
-Agh, I don't mean that strange fantasy you have about ending your life in a building in Chicago.
- In short, what matters is that it will be a normal day.
-If you mean another "fucking day" then yes- Announced Jess in a boring tone.
- Yeah, normal day- Replied Midas with a tome of calm.
-Anyway, he just get to work, okay?
-Of course, I wouldn't miss that "special" part of my life.
-Eh? Sometimes I couldn't understand you.
-Anyway, I changed clothes, I have breakfast on the way and I'm ready for work.
-Don't tell me the process and just get here fast idiot! - exclaimed Jess.
-Agh, Why was she angry? If she called me first?.. Ahhh, it doesn't matter.
It looks like Midas takes some worn, somewhat formal pants, a shirt and a tie.
Getting dressed as fast as he can, he grabs a briefcase and runs out of the place he's from.
-Public transport is not coming on time lately... So
this time I call for a taxi.
Thinking this out loud and seeing the first taxi that crushed him, made him sign with his hand and went up to him quickly.
-You arrived at the right time, well, take me to the company EYE and as soon as we arrive we talk about prices.
-I see you're in a hurry, boy.
-I'm in a hurry but how did you know I'm in a hurry?
-Both the shirt and the tie are badly worn.
-Well, I actually bring this style to work.
-Working in an office? I thought they were more strict about dress in jobs like that.
-Usually any company would be just that the EYE company is "special" in its own way.
-Ha! "Special" you say? An office job will always be an office job, I don't think there are any differences between the other companies and yours, boy.
Saying those last words, you can see how the taxi is arriving at a building that would not stand out from the big city if it were not for the symbol and the name of this, "Eye" and underneath this word an eye moving back and forth in a span of a couple of seconds.
-Okay boy, it's $10.
-Sure, let me look for my wallet - he says this as he searches his pockets.
- I seem to have forgotten my wallet at home, haha!
-I'm sorry, boy, but I won't let you get out of the taxi until you've paid for my trip.
-Let me go out for a moment to borrow money from someone inside the company to pay you back.
-Don't think I'm stupid boy, I know the moment he lets you out of the taxi, you'll try to run awa-
Before I finish dropping the last letter of the word "run away", on the roof of the building you can hear two people arguing violently until suddenly the discussion is interrupted for a few seconds with a silence until suddenly the taxi driver's car receives an impact that breaks the Windows and slightly shocks the car above.
-What happened?!
It looks like the car above is starting to paint a pretty bright red.
Midas takes out a little the torso through one of the Windows and takes out an identification of that big spot among other things and when observing it says:
-Apparently... it's Matt.
-Who?!
-He is a good co-worker "it was" he repeated quite often that he was going to take his life because of his divorce although after repeating it so much I thought it was one of his jokes but apparently it was not.
-How can you be so quiet?!
-I told you before that eye is special in its own way and besides... Oh? Wait a moment- Replies Midas calmly.
It looks like Midas gets out of the car and out of the sack that his former co-worker matt was carrying brings out $10 doubled.
-By the way, here's your paycheck
-You're crazy!
It looks like the taxi driver flees in terror with some Matt remains on top of him.
-So... End up traveling for free?...Je.
It looks like Midas turns to the ground.
-Thank you for paying the trip Matt, Well, to work has been said.
