trigger warning

“I’m gonna do it. I have nothing left to live for”

……. dddddddd…….. He’d hung up.

Suzy paused, holding the phone in her hand away from her ear. She could still hear the faint tone emanating from the receiver. She felt numb, she felt numb because she will never know. Never know if he lived, never know if he got the help he needed, never know if she could have helped him, saved him.

She replaced the handset and as she did she closed her eyes and sent thoughts and prayers to him, the stranger, hoping he would be alright.
