[Part V] Jumper

Like the sunset he goes
and like the morning star he comes...

But when is it that men have ever followed the natural order?

The answer is perhaps a definite "never". There was a time when a person named Brian wanted to commit suicide. It was because he had lost everything he loved. He could not bear to live another day. The seconds that ticked by were like pins and needles that constantly pricked at his skin. But Brian was special, he was exceptional.

Time changes
People change
sometimes just for the worse
but the worse is yet to come
or has it already arrived?

nothing remains the same
nothing remains unchanged
life goes on
even if in darkly lit shadows
