Note: If you've read my other stories, you may notice a recurrence of names. I like using my first and middle names in my stories. That away I really get a feel for my writing. Like the others this is a fictional story.

"This is it," I thought, "there's no turning back now." I was about to jump off of the bridge when a voice suddenly appeared behind me.
"What are you doing?" Came the heavenly voice. I turned and there was this beautiful Chinese girl.
"I'm tired of all the crap and pain that I am forced to put up with. The world doesn't care about me and I don't care about it. So I'm gonna jump off of this bridge because I can't stand the pain. So, would you please leave? I don't want my death on your conscience." I got ready to jump again when she spoke again.
"Please don't, think of your girlfriend…" I shook my head, "wife…" again I shook my head, "friends, family…" still again I shook my head.
"I don't have any of those. No woman can stand to look at me. I don't like to talk to people and all of my family is dead." I started to shake and cry.
"You're talking to me and I think that you are quite handsome. I can see in your eyes that you carry a deep sense of honor and passion."
"That's true," I said in between sobs, "I do carry both of those qualities with pride, but alas there is no one to share them with."
"How about me?" The young lady asked. "Why don't you climb off of there and you can share those qualities with me." I just chuckled. "What's so funny."
"I don't know you, you don't know me, and the minute I step down, you'll turn me in to the cops."
"No, I promise." I just snorted at this, "What's one without one's word." Weird, I was thinking the exact same thing at that moment. "Here, I'll add something else. How about we go back to my place and fool around a little. If you don't think that I'd be worth spending time with, I'll bring you back here and you can kill yourself."
"Why would you do something like that?" I asked.
"Because, like you I am without ma…anyone. I need someone also. What do you say?"
"If I'm gonna die, I don't want to die a virgin."
