Martin

ID: Artabrus Erythrocephalus (male)

 

A troubled jumper pondering it's life choices.

 

Nearly in his forties, with no wife or children, an unstable job and a serious cocaine addiction, Martin knew that positive change was a must and it needed to come fast.

 

Feeling lonely for most of his life, he turned to drugs and hookers from a young age. For Martin, this was a quick fix, an easy route to escapism.

 

Abandoned by his mother at the tender age of 5, the street life was the only one he knew.

 

We bumped into each other at the local titty-bar and he pulled up a seat on my arm, sharing the blues that is his life.

 

Poor Martin, I didn't know that spiders could have such a hard life, or that they could be addicted to cocaine...

 

All I could do was sit and listen and feel compassion for the little guy. The more he shared, the sadder I became.

 

The sorrow I felt for Martin quickly changed to disgust and disbelief as out of nowhere, he offered to suck my **** for 30 dollars! For what I could only assume was more cocaine.

 

I quickly got up and left.

 

It's sad really, I felt like I was getting to know the guy.

 

After that day I never saw Martin again. Maybe he finally got clean or maybe, he moved onto the next town. Truth is I don't know, I can only pray for him, hope that he is well and finds the happiness he so rightfully deserves.
