Dead Man Walking
I walked down the cement sidewalk heading for the corporations tallest building in the city it wasn't the richest or well-known but it made a name for itself, I saw a few other wolves, cats and others walk and fly around me it was the most busy part of Russia, I came here not too long ago searching for something but ended up staying here for long than I had planned and ended up living here, I still had my nice house back in Canada, and while I lived here in Russia I picked up a light Russia accent and a few words here and there but it helped.
It felt like everyone was staring at me, well it is a little rare to see a 6 foot 3 black wolf walking in the middle of a sidewalk in fall weather, to boot my eye color is white having most people think your blind is funny as hell for the first few dozen times then it gets plain annoying like hell and it still persists even if I were to post a sign on me saying im not blind so stop asking, all these morons would still ask if I was blind, im not sure how pathetic everyone could get and how they could endure themselves if they heard themselves speak, another reason to get there and faster.
It was a free building to enter as long as you did not visit the office floors, the guard told me not to visit floors 2-12 for they were office floors, the rest were free to visit, mostly empty flooring, occasional apartment room here and there on the top floor the elevator could reach, witch was weird and a first for me, I made my way up some stairs to the top of the building, the usual vent and fans with gravel and flat tops and I made my way to the edge and sat down, such a great view.
As I stare out into the concrete jungle before me I reminiscence about the past, my best and only friend also my child hood crush always loved to watch the sun set on the cliffs back at home, what was left of home anyways, I sat there a few minutes longer staring at the now setting sun, I got up from my ledge and stood over it, I thought to myself 'there is no one for me to take care of, no one to take care of me, life has gotten the best of me, now all that's left if for death to take me, all the things I held high, all my joys and all my prides have been shattered and no one seems to care, life has won, it always will, you can never beat time, it just waits for you to die.
I look down from this office building and right under me down about the second or third floor was a meeting room and I could see movement in it because of its glass ceiling 'I bet if I drop in unexpectedly that they will just throw me away like trash' I laugh at my little bet, these days there are too many rich bastard that will do anything to get even richer, I sigh "well the day isn't getting any younger" so I bring one foot over the ledge and let gravity take its course and let myself fall and hurtle down 18 floors to my doom and I only have one regret, never saying good bye to Zabyli, forever you have been the thing that kept me sane all those years but now I have never been more sane in my life.
It felt like hours before I finally hit anything but it caught up too quickly, feeling the glass hit my back then my head, the wind being knocked out of me was a common occurrence of late, I stayed there a moment before the glass started to fall from underneath me and I start falling down again, I could already hear the gasps and curses fly under me and I actually managed to laugh, most of them were staring at me while I just lay there all broken, battered and bruised, hell I was probably just bleeding to death on this table twitching random parts of my body, I still had control over my head and hands.
After their intial shock they started moving again, some were looking at me, one was puking his guts out and one was even poking at my twitching feet and finally one of them said "get this guy out of here we got to finish this contract that will secure our financial stability for a long time to come! Hurry up and someone move him already!" one of the other people piped in "why not let the new person take care of it, it was only a few days ago that they got in and they missed all the important details anyway"
Everyone looked towards a corner that was out of my peripheral vision so I could not see who it was but I gave up seeing on who it was because my neck was getting sore so I relaxed it and closed my eyes, my vision was changing between black and white to red, signs that I might be bleeding internally but if my gaming lore helps I might get back up later almost in good condition again, with a small monotone voice I heard a yes, I felt myself getting picked up gently but with strong arms I think I lost almost all sense of feeling by then and could not tell heads from tails to what I was touching but I felt incredible warmth but it may have been the blood that was covering my body.
I think we were walking down a hall when my carrier stopped and asked for someone to call an ambulance and sure enough the was beeping of at least 3 phones, I then open my eyes to see where I was and I see a beautiful light blue dragoness, seemed familiar but anyways I am about to ask one last question and my will before we part ways "who might this be who is carrying poor old me? Just in case I might not make it?" I managed in a hoarse voice.
"Zabyli"
My eyes go wide, surely it couldn't be...her... "Zabyli Karzotski?"
She looked at me with the same look I had, of complete shock " how did you know my name? she asked in a shaky voice
"Hehe it me Kichi Soma, I missed you so much Zibby" I smiled and fainted just as the ambulance arrived.
