The Tears Of Life

The curtain uncovered the screen in front of the room and the lights began to dim. Connie was walking around with food and drinks, handing it out to anyone who wanted it. By the time she had reached us most of the food she was holding had disappeared, "Hello! Connie, what movie are going to watch?" I asked

Connie giggled and Kim joined her "Miss Flora, we will be watching the next incarnation" Connie said while handing me popcorn. The lights turned off and Connie stood next to my seat as the movie started to play.

The new you 'Norman' was born, time passed quickly and he started going to preschool. He was a shy little boy, so precious to his father, but not to his mother. She thought of him as only a nuisance. As he grew up, the more abusive she was to him, making remarks about everything he did, teasing him until he cried, all while his father was not at home, but when he was it was all a different story. One day, his father found out that his wife had been unfaithful to him and soon left him and his mother. After that incident his mother got worse and worse, until the fifth of May. He gave up on living, he had lost the only person that cared for him. His mother was abusive and he felt nothing but resentment towards her. So he took himself out of her life. He jumped off the balcony of his live on the top floor of the 20-story building, and his life ended, along with all of his pain and suffering.
