last week.

when i tried to call 911, they couldn't hear me. then he threw himself backwards off the apartment balcony next door.
this time, 911 heard me and sent over ambulances and other sirened vehicles.
when i looked down from my balcony, there were lights and paramedics wheeling a stretcher with an empty body bag back into the ambulance.
a broken machine laid where i expected to see his bloody body.
