never miss another strange story subscribe and hit the bell sit back and get comfortable I have a few stories to share with you everybody has moments like this I'm sure you've had many yourself a chance encounter our fleeting glimpse a split second where you think maybe I should perhaps I gotta and many times when you've thought I wish I had just when it's been too late the moment has gone and then you mentally beat yourself for hesitating curse at yourself for being the type of person who takes too long to think so long that when a decision has been made it becomes null and void because the reason behind the decision no longer matters I used to be like that and then I decided to never again be indecisive no longer shall I be the person to walk by someone in need and have an argument with myself in my head all the while hoping someone else would take the matters out of my hands good Samaritans there's nearly always one around when the need is great I tried to be a good Samaritan no like right now standing beside this young man standing on the bridge tears in his eyes every now and then he mumbles to himself says he's no good tells himself the things would be better if he wasn't around I talked to him try to say the right things comfort him I tried to make sure not one word I say will convince him to take the next step I feel like he doesn't hear me but I remind myself then he has a lot on his mind too much I'll keep trying though maybe just one sentence will break his trends just a few words just one word the word that might make everything feel all right again feel like hope again it's a shame it's late at night a shame there's no one else to help him help me I've been standing with him for nearly an hour now and I'll carry on standing here trying to say the right things but I know cannot see me I'm a ghost a phantom just a tingling of lingering energy buzzing right here at the spot I took one step too many four years ago just like this young man it's a shame I wish I could really help him slowly as he grips the railing he lifts his leg and pulls it back over and onto the safety of the path he looks down into the abyss then turns towards me surely can't see me but he whispers thank you then turns and walks away [Music] [Music]
