season to be jolly

for some... for others the thought of facing another year must be just a bit too much. for 4 consecutive days, someone has thrown themselves in front of a train... every morning starts with a glance at the indicator boards to reveal another fatality. the scoreboard isn't looking good. and that's what they become, just another statistic, a casualty of a crowded city.

but the inevitable delay (2/1/2 hour train ride) gets you thinking... did this guy catch this very same train? maybe they sat next to you, or you bumped them a bit too hard while squeezing on the train... did that push them over the edge? whatever it is, the mental health of people here can't be that great when people throw themselves in front of an oncoming train. to add the inconvenience of delayed trains, etc, the family of the deceased receive an invoice from the train company, about $40,000 from what i've heard. you got to really hate everyone to go out like this... is my gut feel, but then again you wouldn't really give a fuck about anything if your in that state of mind. rest in peace, and sorry if i bumped you too hard or hit you with a stray elbow.
