The Man on the Rooftop

A man is about to jump off the rooftop of a nine-story building. I think it will be a nice view after his fall: bones pushed out the skin, intestines on the outside, and body decapitated for falling upside down.

Most of my family members are freaking out: my father holding his chest, my mother shouting "Don't. No,” and my sister covering her eyes. I am just staring at the lonely man, excited by his final decision. As usual, the only one that is bored is my brother. I know what he is thinking: it is just a goddamn movie.
