Motionless

"A man stood upon a railroad bridge in London, England, looking down into the swift water twenty feet below. The man's hands were behind his back, the wrists bound with a cord. A rope closely encircled his neck. It was attached to a stout cross-timber above his head and the slack fell to the level of his knees.". In my English 101 class at Olympic College, the Professor gave a prompt to take a paragraph provided, and write a short essay starting with it. That was the paragraph What fallows is that piece, an original, "Motionless."
