Zero-hours Contract Agency : Heart Escapade Project

Chapter 1 : Another Reminisce

"Year MMVIII's most shocking and revealing news: After Henry L'Heureux and Katherine L'Heureux another two L'Hereux died. Vivianne L'Heureux and Casimir L'Heureux died accidentally. The investigators said that they already found....."

This stupid, arrogant world is a big jerk. I'm already exhausted from running on this endless road of asphalt. I'm already tired of escaping this cruel life. The worst part is, I don't even know why am I running, from whom am I escaping and what is the cause of this hide-and-seek game.

I was reading this ironic news article for the whole day, month, or year for a thousand times already.

They said my younger brother and my older sister, died. No, I don't believe what they are saying. I know, I know... She promised me and I know that she will not break our oath to each other even what will happen next, we will still survive this extinction and different crises in our blood line. After all, they just want a story for people, not the whole, solid truth.

It was already midnight and I was still here, on this stupid bridge wandering alone... I mean, no. No. No. I knew that there's another human being on the other end of the bridge.

I knew that someone was still there, breathing.

So, yeah. I knew. No need to be scar—Gulp.

 

What the heck did I just heard?

Well obviously, it was the sound of "someone committed suicide by jumping on the bridge".

Or was I already travelling to the state of "I am a paranoid saga"?

Just to be sure... I looked on the other part of the bridge and good heavens! There was no any sign of humans or anything but I swear I saw a dude and his shadow!

Don't tell me he—!!!

My brain lost its sense, imagined myself at the court with handcuffs and my brain suddenly trailed off.

I automatically jumped on the bridge.

Oh. I thought it's just a lame long term kiddie pool and now I was proven wrong. The problem is, this was not a freaking kiddie pool and I can't almost breathe!

I should be the one who supposed to do this so-called "heroic duty" but I was the one who was asking for this brave act. Or should I just go with the flow of this river and... No. I prefer dying by drinking a deadly poison so in that case I won't even complain even it will taste like a manure.

"MISSION OF—!!" The water was almost surpassing me and I chose to gulp it and to continue my I-just-need-a-rope-or-something-speech  "MERCY!!"

I tried to change the direction of my head even just a bit to see where I can grab on because I can already feel the current changing rapidly and suddenly, I saw the guy who jumped on the bridge. He was on the sidewalk and holding a twig, trying to reach me or not really even trying. He let his face rest on his palm, watching me as if I'm an entertainment channel and pointing out a twig in my direction. Obviously, me.
